They built a handheld gaming system with a crank, put 24 games on it, and zero of them include fishing. Like really? Maybe I can sideload Legend of the River King.

I forget where I read this, but there was apparently an interesting phenomenon where each developer they went to immediately thought of making a fishing game, but felt that was so obvious that everybody else would already be making a fishing game.

And so, there are no fishing games :D
