Games Asylum: "If you’ve never heard of the original Ufouria, chances are you aren’t alone. The 1991 NES platformer skipped the US market, all because Sunsoft’s American wing feared that the peculiar characters wouldn’t hold much appeal. Alterations were even made to the European release, recasting characters – including the penguin protagonist Hebe. This long-time-coming sequel stays truer to the Japanese original, fully embracing the oddball cast and their peculiarities. Who knew a penguin, a blue haired girl in an orange cat costume, a baseball cap wearing ghost, and an overly cautious anglerfish would have such great chemistry?"
It's fun to be a kid again.
XBA says: A sequel that I don't think anyone asked for, or saw coming, but we're all for its cuteness.
The Ufouria series (or Hebereke in Japan) has a surprisingly long history for a game franchise most people haven't heard.
