Development

Ace Angler is based on Fishing Spirits, a fishing simulator arcade game. In the arcade game, players use their rod controllers to catch the fish swimming on the monitor. A trailer for Ace Angler was released in May 2019.

The arcade game was ported to the Nintendo Switch and released in Japan under the title Fishing Spirits: Nintendo Switch Version on July 25, 2019. It was later released in Southeast Asia on July 21, 2020, as Ace Angler: Nintendo Switch Version. Though release for Western markets never occurred, copyrights for the game's title surfaced in various countries in 2022 (its sequel would be released outside Asia).
