It has been teased for the past few months, but now we can confirm it is real. That’s right, Big’s Big Fishing Adventure 3 is a real fan made game that you can play right now! What more, while it is fan made it does have the support of SEGA’s Aaron Webber and the Sonic the Hedgehog social media accounts. This is The Trial edition of the game, meaning it is only a tease of the full game. However, despite being released on April Fool’s day, we can confirm that The Trail is not a joke and that there will indeed be a full game in the near future. The game can be found at www.bigthec.at and features static cutscenes, branching paths, and a variety of mini games which we won’t spoil here.
For those wondering why this game is the third in the series, aside from being an obvious Sonic Adventure 3 joke, this is actually Big’s third fishing game. Big first dropped his line in Sonic Adventure, and his second game entitled Big’s Fishing released in 2004 as a part of a McDonald’s Happy Meal LCD games collection. Sonic Heroes, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and Sonic Runners don’t count because there was no fishing, an omission that clearly hurt sales.
I am proud to confirm that I played a very very small part, as the Big the Cat action figure you see upon completing the game is from my collection. Which means my Big the Cat toy visited SEGA’s Burbank offices before I did. 🙁
Play the game for yourself, and in the comments below tell us what you think!

I played it, but felt cheated. Why is it so hard?
0/10.
Shame! 0/10
Looks like it might be cracking addition to the legendary series, it’s great to Sega bring back some of its characteristic weirdness here and there, all they need is to maintain the above par quality they’re known for along with their quirky originality.
I’m not sure what I’m more impressed by; the level of references and self-deprecation found throughout the game, or that Aaron and Ben even played with the game a bit.
Who knows. Maybe we’ll get a proper sequel in Yakuza 6 where Kiryu goes fishing with someone who insists on wearing a Big the Cat costume.
