watched a speedrun of the PS1(?) version, looked sick. day 1 for sure.
Yeah, I'm kind of intrigued by the change in name. Umihara's Odd Odyssey just not have the same ring or something?I wonder why they changed her name? It seems like a frivolous thing to change. Is Yumi really any better than Umihara? Or just Umi? I am curious why they did that.
The gameplay is pretty darn brutal, especially if it is like the PS1 game and has no checkpoints. The game is all about mastering the character and getting more mobile. I found it exhausting in long stretches, but the pick up and play nature is perfect for the 3DS.
what is game?
Something about how each kanji in the name relates to sea, belly, river, & fat, referencing an idiot in Japan about how "Sea fish are fat in the belly; river fish are fat in the back." from what I've heard/read.Umihara Kawase is a difficult Japanese expression that would sound over-long or disappointingly odd in English (something to do with fish, I remember). This is a decent title change.
Great news. Also, the Game Center CX episode of this is a must-watch.

I'm really surprised that the game is getting localized. I hope it's good, and if there aren't any nasty bugs this time I'll definitely be picking this up on the eShop.
I've seen a vid and... am not hyped at all.
What's so good about this game exactly?
Sounds like my kind of game. Thanks for the rundown.It's an extremely technical platformer that requires mastery of its controls to get the most out of it. As you play the game more and more, you become better adjusted to the game's physics and you start to learn how to pull of more and more advanced moves, which are required to see everything the game has to offer. This type of learning curve makes the game extremely rewarding as you can tangibly feel yourself getting better as you progress, in a way that few other games can match.
It's also an extremely charming game (despite the hideous graphics) and has very calming music, which helps prevent you from getting too angry after you fail a stage for the hundredth time.
