Bug off vs. fishing tourney?

[Zinnia.]

I like the bug off the more. it's easier to prepare for it the night before at the island and you don't have to worry about what specific species is going to be asked for. I think the selection of furniture is also cuter (even though Nat was pretty stubborn about giving me the ones that I wanted).

Bug off feels much easier than the fishing tourney to get prizes etc! I like partaking in both, though.

 

[Nika]

I like them both

I heavily prefer bug off! For some reason I tend to get nervous looking at the fish bite on the line, when it should be so easy lol even for acnl, i relied on audio cues most of the time

 

[Coach]

Yeah, I definitely prefer the Bug Off! I think it also might have something to do with bug spawns feeling easier to manipulate by running on / off screen combined with less time catching compared to fishing.

Bug off is easier I guess, but I've only ever done each event once during 2020. I did them 3 other times that year, quickly at that, to get the NM badge. It just wasn't engaging enough for me to want to do repeats. The prizes are also very basic and modern to the point that it looks like they could've been sold at the Nook shop.

In New Leaf I don’t really participate in them. It takes so much preparation and I have nowhere to store anything in NH I definitely prefer the bug off because you don’t need to use bait to get a decent score

 

[Yoshi155]

In New Leaf, I’d say the Bug-Off because it requires more effort due to requiring luck as well as having a giant and rare bug, and it feels more special since it only happens four times a year. After playing New Leaf for a while I stopped caring for either of them since they get kind of boring and there’s not really much incentive to participate.

I think I like the bug-off more! In general I also like catching bugs to sell to earn bells more than catching fish, it feels more relaxing to me so I could do it for hours at a time

 

[Firesquids]

I definitely like the Bug-off better, I love insects in real life and they look so pretty in this game! Plus I prefer the process of catching bugs in AC over the fishing one (controller lag makes it very difficult)
I also vastly prefer Flick to CJ.

Anything about fishing always wins over anything about insects in the Animal Crossing games. If it’s a fishing tourney that restricts to certain fish only, I can always wait until the next fishing tourney where you are free to catch what you want.

 

[Clock]

I prefer bug off more than fishing tourney.

 

[Zerous]

I enjoy both but Fishing tourney is my preference just because I prefer catching fish!

 

[VillageDweller]

I like both, but I suppose I’d say Bug-Off is easier to actually catch more bugs, and you can see what they are already so that aspect is a little more fun. I usually miss the bug offs though and only end up seeing the fishing tourneys lol

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

I enjoy both events, but I have to say I prefer the Bug-Off tourney more. There's just something so relaxing about catching bugs, it feels more laid-back compared to fishing.

 

[Sarah3]

I’ve always enjoyed the Bug-Off. I just find it more relaxing!

 

[Tiger_Lily]

In New Leaf, I find the Bug-Off to be easier because it demands a bit more effort, combining both luck and the chance of catching a giant or rare bug. Plus, the selection of furniture you can earn from it is just adorable.

 

[Xara]

I like the Bug-Off more! I enjoy both catching bugs and fishing, but catching bugs is a bit more relaxing to me (plus it's quicker and easier) and I like Nat's dialogue more! I like the Fish Set more than the Insect Set, though.

 

[Snek]

The Bug Off was more fun and you could prepare the day before. The furniture prizes from Nat were also better in my opinion.

 

[Dunquixote]

I voted for the Bug Off! I think it is a lot more fun than the fishing tournament was (even though I hate bugs) and I think the prizes were a bit better.
