Red Art Games has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Japanese firm Sunsoft to release a physical edition of Ufouria: The Saga 2, the sequel to the 1991 Famicom / NES cult classic.
The game launches on the Switch eShop on 1st March 2024, with an expected release date for the physical release of July 5th, 2024. Physical versions will come in two flavours: standard edition and deluxe edition. Both are priced at €39.99, though the latter is exclusive to the Red Art Games' storefront and limited to just 500 copies on Switch. It will also come with the following:
- A copy of the game with a reversible cover
- An exclusive sleeve featuring alternate cover art inspired by the original game’s Japanese cover
- A manual filled with information about the game
- A CD featuring both Ufouria: The Saga and Ufouria: The Saga 2’ soundtracks
If you're happy just opting for a digital copy of the game, then that will cost a little less at $24.99/€24.99.

This game looks so lovely. I still need to go back to Ufouria: The Saga on Wii U VC. Very cute and approachable platformer.
I wish they would include the first game on the cart too.
I suppose a future Sunsoft Evercade cart might include the first game, in which case, I'll be content with that, but given the Switch's popularity and the relative obscurity (and age) of the first game, would it kill them to throw in the original ROM?
On Red Art Games, use Promo code SWATCH10 to get a 10% discount.
Might only be eligible to UK/EU customers? Not sure, but I've been consistently using this discount on Red Art Games orders.
This is one I've been looking forward to and had my eyes on a JP import order, this is even better.
I'm still waiting for them to release the first one.
Oh, they're going with Red Art for Europe this time? Will have to keep an eye out in the states

Ufouria The Saga 2 will reportedly be sold in most online retailers in the states, but you can pre-order it now through Video Games Plus (a Canadian retailer).

I'm going to whine about this using the terrible western name until I'm as old as it makes me sound.
@RupeeClock Thank you. I'll keep an eye on Best Buy
It's nice to see Sunsoft continue to fight the good fight in a tough industry where there are many new games released every day. Makes me want to fire up Batman for the NES just for nostalgia.
U-four-ia 2: The Saga
I'm so excited for this game. It looks like such a lovely game, and its awesome to see an actual in-house Sunsoft project, and its looking like the usual masterpieces they made back in the NES days. Hopefully I can get a physical at some point, but if not I'm more than willing to pay over my usual purchasing limit for digital games of $20 for this
@Sisilly_G Or both Hebereke and U-four-ia? I don't recall how much is different, other than that two of the main characters are significantly changed.
Looking forward to this having thoroughly enjoyed playing through the first game via the Wii a few year back. It real hidden gem that I had never heard of at all way way back when when I had my NES.
@KingMike U•four•ia THE SAGA 2.
I played the CRAP out of this game on the Wii, or was it Wii U? I can't remember. Anyway, I did. Found every secret. It's a weird, cool game. I'm stoked out of a sequel. I love that Sunsoft properties have been getting some love. Looks really good too.
Wow, am I dreaming? I knew Sunsoft had revived and was rereleasing their old games, but I never expected sequels. Ufouria is one of the best games on the NES and I am thrilled to see a sequel coming out. It looks to have the same charm and personality of the original too, so I have high hopes for this.
I feel weak and pathetic insta-pre-ordering a game based on its trailer being thrust before me like that, but when the game looks like it's closely related to a Good Feel Yoshi platformer I'm afraid I really have little say in the matter.
You, @RupeeClock ... are an absolute sweetheart. Thank you.
The original Ufouria is one of my absolute favorite NES games, so this is a very pleasant surprise!
‘Sunsoft is back’ is just music to my ears
This is cool, but I seem to remember a Switch release of the first Ufouria being announced around the time Gimmick was. Is that still going to happen?
This looks lovely. Really liked the first game, so I might get this. Weird this is the first time I've heard about it.
I really dig this art style.
Ufouria is one of my favourite games for the NES, so i had to preorder out of pure nostalgia. Don’t really like the looks of the Hebereke characters tough, and for me they’ll always be Bop-Louie, Freeon-Leon, Shades and Gil.
@gcunit
Don't feel too bad. I preordered the deluxe version for ps5. Paid a hefty fine for shipping too, as I'm in America. Watching the trailer a third time did me in.
Also, I think the text boxes look like fuse/perler beads. If that's what I'm seeing, that's pretty cool.
@Magician You digging in the crates of sunsoft there! Those were the days!
I've never even heard of the first game, but this one looks pretty good based on the trailer so I'm looking forward to it, to the wishlist it goes!
I’m just wondering if this will be at retail or Amazon? I’d really like this physical as I lived the original game.
@Vyacheslav333 It was a typical comment referencing the ambiguous reading of the title (if one didn't know about the previous game).
Though honestly neither way sounds good.
@KingMike Ah. Understood.
