Neat. The original was late enough into the NES lifecycle that I missed it altogether having moved to the flashier SNES by then – which seems like what happened with the game with most publishers outside of Japan.
Looking at gameplay video of the original, they were clearly squeezing everything they could out of the NES for it. I’m going to have to check it out.
I wonder how the sequel will be.
Same, I never got to enjoy it as a kid.
Makes me really happy to see Sunsoft giving love to their games. I didn’t even know they put out a new Ufouria this year.
I put the original Uforia on my playlist when I was checking out Gimmick. Sunsoft sure made a lot of good but underrated titles.
