Touhou may hopefully be on the road toward obtaining an even bigger presence in the west thanks to the scheduled release of “Urban Legend in Limbo”, a fighting game featuring a number of the franchise’s most notable girls as they beat the supernatural daylights out of one another.
Footage from the Japanese PC release:
Urban Legend in Limbo’s upcoming western launch was revealed by the official Touhou Project PlayStation Twitter, though little else about the game was divulged.
Huh. ZUN is really giving in huh. He recall he didn’t want to involve himself with the big shot console market in the past.
Doesn’t he have a family now? And was that said before or after?
I heard that a long time before he got married.
i suppose he stopped being stubborn about it now.
Mother of gaps kakakaka
Yep, Touhou 14.5 “Urban Legend in Limbo”….man I miss playing this. At any rate, this is part of the offical Touhou line up of games and it’s currently only being released on PS4 in Japan. This may change if NIS America decides to get this as well.
Touou Genso no Rondo is already in English on the HK PSN market for those who can’t wait on the US version.
Why do you “miss playing it”? I mean, it’s not that old to begin with as as far as the 2d battlers go it’s also the latest. If you said that about, say, Scarlet Weather Rapsody, it would make more sense. I do agree that it’s one of the best of the official Touhou games (also cudos to Rift for actually fixing the article’s misconception about it being official or not, one hardly sees that nowadays).
I thought Urban Legend in Limbo WAS an official Touhou game, in the same vein as Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. It’s just that it wasn’t developed solely by Team Shanghai Alice.
It IS an official game.
I don’t think it actually says anything about the game coming to the west. It’s not an unofficial title, either.
Beat me to it, it’s an official game lol, thats why this is big news (for the franchise and fans)
and ZUN’s going to make that extra money he needs for more beer 😉
