Bop-Louie bops once more

As a part of its second Sunsoft is Again stream, Sunsoft has introduced {that a} remake of the 1991 NES title, Ufouria: The Saga, is on the best way.

When you didn’t catch the Sunsoft is Again stream, you didn’t miss a lot. Ufouria was primarily the one new reveal, and all we obtained was a screenshot. They confirmed off Journey World DX and Gimmick!, however we didn’t even get a launch date for Gimmick! past “quickly.” Journey World DX beforehand acquired an announcement, with Restricted Run Video games dealing with the bodily variations of it. Pre-orders begin April 28.

Ufouria: The Saga (often called Hebereke in Japan) notably by no means launched in North America previous to its arrival on the Wii Digital Console. Nevertheless, it has by no means been ported effectively. The Digital Console re-releases run on the PAL area’s 50hz, making the whole lot run too quick. Regardless of the poor high quality of the ports, Ufouria: The Saga has developed a cult following.

In contrast to Gimmick!, which is simply getting a modernized port, Ufouria will get pleasure from a full remake, with the demonstrated screenshot exhibiting off a artful artwork type just like Yoshi’s Wooly World. We don’t know a lot else except for a deliberate 2023 launch. There is no such thing as a phrase on whether or not the character depicted within the screenshot can have the western “Bop-Louie” nomenclature or revert to the Japanese “Hebe.” Personally, I feel “Bop-Louie” is simply such an amazingly cute title.

The horrible Vtuber working the stream makes coy point out of two unannounced initiatives. We will solely hope that one is the rumored Clock Tower port/remaster/remake. We’ll have to attend and hope for a greater stream sooner or later.
