Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, has scheduled a release date for their upcoming quirky puzzle platformer, Yumi’s Odd Odyssey.
From the article, "[Jenni Lada] enjoyed Yumi’s Odd Odyssey, Natsume’s brave effort to finally localize an Umihara Kawase game. I applauded the effort and recognize it’s a platformer with a lot of potential, but honestly? It’s the kind of game that really only an uber patient perfectionist can appreciate. (Say that 5 times fast!) At a $30 price point, it just wasn’t inviting."
Yumi’s Odd Odyssey is on discount sale on the Nintendo eShop for 3DS in North America.
"It’s amazing how long it took a publisher to bring such a cult series outside of Japan, but Natsume finally did it. They couldn’t have picked a better entry to introduce this brutal but fair franchise to its new mob of fans in the West. Yumi’s Odd Odyssey is a fun and challenging game that deserves every bit of the praise and reverence that it gets from its Japanese fan base." - Eduardo Reboucas, Entertainium.org
