Indie development studio From Soy Sauce has revealed “Touhou Super Smash Battles“, a fighting game that uses concepts from the well-known Smash Brothers franchise while containing characters from renowned bullet-hell shooter Touhou – sure to be a popular crossover for the intersection of the already gigantic fanbases.
While the game’s main mechanics are heavily inspired by Smash Brothers, other unique features have been implemented such as free-falling and bullet hell in classic Touhou style – along with a host of other ideas likely incomprehensible for people not accustomed to the complex nature of competitive Smash Brothers.

The game is currently being crowd-funded on IndieGoGo for $10,000, though after a single day the project has already raised an impressive $4,000 – Touhou Super Smash Battles is planned for release on Windows, Mac, Linux, Wii U and potentially other platforms, should it not come to the attention of Nintendo’s legal department…
So…. nope? lol
Touhou Hisoutensoku was WAY better
The floating mechanic.
PM Mewtwo everywhere!
pretty much a 3d free for all hisoutensoku…
Funny thing with Zun’s policy and user license: You can create things and sell it but you can’t take money then create the things to sell. Kickstarter had a card game project scrapped because of it.
It’s sad that Zun had to adopt that legal mindset to protect his legal ownership of his creation in Japan.
