The only thing I'm afraid of is that by having both games out now, customers will be confused and may perceive them as more shovelware, ending up buying neither. 

Can this happen? Though similar (same series), they are different games. But I agree, Go Vacation should have been out during the summer.

Added a gameplay clip to the OP. It shows the swordfish section I liked from the trailer because it looked like action fishing. First Get! Gameplay wise it seems repetitive - maybe it's better with the controller. But the fish caught in the stream was moving a lot.

EDIT: What? No controller... sorry US.

It's really a matter of perception, it's not something objective. Just like how LKS failed because of presentation. On the other hand if both games are perceived as similar in style to Namco's "We Ski" series, that's not exactly a bad thing, as those were good games that did find a market.

 

Regarding the peripheral, I am disappoint. XSEED are taking questions in the comments to the siliconera article, and they do say the gameplay is unique, even without the controller. Hopefully they can find a way to convey that to the consumer.
