The PC release of UmiharaKawase Shun Steam Edition marks the first truly definitive game in the series.
Jorge S Fernandez: "It’s pretty much a given at this point that Japanese publishers have finally embraced the digital golden goose that is Steam, as more and more classic and/or obscure Japanese games are finding themselves taking a seat at Gaben’s table as they feast on the all-digital banquet spread before them. The release of Umihara Kawase on Steam is particularly noteworthy as it predates Bubsy the Bobcat as the first Super Nintendo/Super Famicom title to hit Steam, while also being a far more entertaining 16-bit throwback that has stood the test of time. It’s a shame that Agatsuma Entertainment wasn’t able to also hang around, as the publisher responsible for localizing the quirky platformer series will soon be shutting its doors down."
