Yumi's Odd Odyssey Is Coming To Europe Under Its Original Japanese Title, Sayonara UmiharaKawase

Awesome, awesome news. Although Agatsuma, I can't remember if they release for Australia...

日本語の名前は好きだよ！

If you can't tell, this means I'm fond of Japanese names.

@Jollykarp Code of Princess was released in Australia

yay! So many great games on the 3DS!

@EarthboundBenjy nihongo no namae ha"?"kidayo?

• "?" = No idea what that is.

Even though It's eshop only I'm glad it's getting a release.

edit: I've got it, nihongo no namae ha suki dayo.

excellent news, will get this game !

Great ^^ but why eshop only?

Hmmm, being an eShop only title I tend to wait for a price drop / temporary deal for higher prices games. Will watch this one before deciding.

Damn, that's expensive. I might have to wait for a price drop.

I too like the Japanese names. Changing it to Yumi's Odd Odyssey was a stupid idea. Maybe it will make more people get it, but I doubt it...

@Yasume it's the exact reason why I have purchased this in North America yet..... When introducing a new series that you want to take off in a new territory, you need to set a lower price to build an audience, and if the series is really good, people will pay full price on the next one.

Games that sell hardware and make people happy!? Nintendo, take notice, there might be something here to learn for the WiiU

This, Tomodatchi, etc... are the reason people buy the 3DS, exclusive and fun games, different experiences, that you really cant have anywhere else

Very interested in this game, but I'm also interested in other various releases coming out in the spring period (and my wallet can't catch them all already >.>; ).

I'm afraid I will probably have to skip this awesome title or wait some promotion to tempt me back to it ^_^;

Totaly getting it on releas say

I spent $30 on this, and I don't regret a single penny a single day. Long, charming, unique and challenging, with lots of replay value and speedrunning potential.

Awesome news. A lot sooner than I thought too. I love these types of games and after the nl review my hype levels were cranked. Can't wait

I purchased this game last week and it is very much so worth the full asking price IMO, so dive right in! Hell, I've spent much more on games I didn't like years ago (16/32-bit days).

Its also pretty cool that you guys get the original title name as well even though I'm actually partial to the US name TBH.

Level 7 secret exit is killing me BTW.

Why couldn't the US get the original name! Oh well, I find it interesting when a series has differences in other countries.

I think I'll wait for a price-cut.

@TwilightPoint

Here you go. http://jisho.org/
It's a English-Japanese dictionary where you can copy+paste any words if you don't know them. If you're starting out learning how to read Japanese, then having a dictionary where you can copy and paste is useful if you're looking at Japanese sites, since you may not know how to look up a certain word otherwise.

@Jollykarp : It's no longer in the ACB website's classification database (some entries just inexplicably disappear from the database for no apparent reason), but I distinctly remember this game being given a G rating sometime last year, so yes, it is coming to Australia.

So glad we finally got confirmation on this as well as that they are keeping the original name.
Also loving how they refer to this game as a Rubbering
Action Game, which brings back a ton of memories of the very first in the series!
