Like Code of Princess, it seems Agatsuma Entertainment will handle the PAL region publishing duties of Sayonara Umihara Kawase themselves. It showed up on the Australian Classification Board this morning, keeping its original name. A retail release is highly unlikely (Code of Princess didn't get one), so it'll be for the eShop like America.

Natsume confirmed back in October that they'd be releasing it in the US as Yumi’s Odd Odyssey.

I'm so happy they're bringing it over! ｡◕‿◕｡

hey
hey
get this game it's really good

also ignore the art it's really not representative of anything at all

 

[ShogunDarius]

Colour me interested

It's weird that they are going through another publisher in NA despite the NA release being digital only. I assume Natsume are localizing it, and they're licensing the localization, which is why they can't release it everywhere themselves.

I don't know what you're talking about

the art is amazing.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I need this, the game looks fantastic.

i have no issue with the quality of the art!

it's more a word of advice for people who might be warded off by loaded high school girls
it's not the sort of game you will be embarrassed to play

some people might think it's finally a game to appease to their shota fetishes...

Yesssss. I have the Super Famicom and DS games but it'd be nice to have one on my 3DS I could take places and not worry about as the DS cart is so expensive I'd never replace it if it got stolen.

Already have the Japanese version. It's a fun little game! Sometimes the physics can be a bit frustrating, but overall it's great. Same old Umihara Kawase gameplay, Definitely a perfect choice to be an eshop release.

 

[baphomet]

Why is it so hideous?

 

[Savitar]

Here I thought it was the happy boobs game.

Has Aussie world been wrapped in happy boobs yet.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I'dve prefered being able to just import the JPN copy like I did the DS compilation but you take what you can get with Nintendo region locks I guess.

 

[LayLa]

yesssssssss, have the Super Famicom game but could never find a reasonably priced DS one.

 

[YesManKablam]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[ShogunDarius]

how long is the time between a classification and release usually?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

how long is the time between a classification and release usually?

It's all over the place with the Australian Classification Board. Usually it's around a month or two before a game comes out, other times it could be a week, or even an entire year (like 3D Space Harrier and various Virtual Console games on the eShop).

 

[Prevailer]

German rating board USK have already rated the game. So yes, this is coming to PAL regions :3 Great!!

Is "Umihara Kawase" supposed to be a person's name? "Umihara" (海原, not 海&#33145 could be a surname, but Kawse 川背 is a very, very weird given name.

 

[Tizoc]

How did I not know about this until now?
Any new updates on this?

Haha thanks for that, because I saw that last picture in the post above yours and rolled my eyes.

 

[Bog]

Better or worse than on super famicom?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Why is it so hideous?

Because it's on 3DS.

But, I'm sure that like pretty much every other 3DS game, it'll look a lot better when it's actually on the system instead of screenshots.


But yeah, the game ain't got no alibi. It's ugly.
