Tasofro have announced that they're working on a sequel to the 2D beat-em-up, Touhou ~ Immaterial and Missing Power. The game will be on display at Reitaisai on May 20th, along with a demo of the latest Touhou shooter, Mountain of Faith.
Never thought it'd happen, but I'm pretty damn glad it has. Here's hoping for some decent new characters, and a new version of Caster for online play. |

Why does the interface look so horrible? _________________

| Eh, it's been suggested that it's just a placeholder for testing the game features. Maybe it'll be overhauled (or at least tweaked) by the time of release. |

I hope so, I don't want to have to look at that when I'm owning Skythe. _________________

Fawkes and I have been stalking TH10 and this game (I saw your posts on various websites too). Found the screenshot after I got out of school today, I wonder how the new system'll be like. I hope they release more characters. >_> I want some Eirin, Reisen, and Cirno. =( They better keep Suika too. <_<
lol 3 more days. : o _________________

Look forward to the entire write up later, there's not much we can say now besides 'Touhou Akesouten'.
Touhou Akesouten is the second installement of action barrage games, in the same line as Touhou Suimusou [IaMP], and is continued to have its scenerio and such produced by ZUN.
It stands as the 9.8th game in series, and is not a simple add on to the series; it is part of the contiguous storyline laid out (by ZUN). The mechanics will be very similar, and will make use of what was laid out in Suimusou, but they will also be rebuilt; players at the debut at Reitaisai will not be instant masters (if they completely pwnzored at the previous game), and will be challenged by things new and different. Please listen to all staff at the demo both for we expect alot of people. |
Exciting information there. I'd like to see Reisen, Kaguya and Mokou in this one, and maybe Komachi or Medicine.
Incidentally, there're more screens and info on Touhou 10 at ZUN's blog if anyone's interested. Apparently Reimu and Marisa are going to be the only playable characters this time around, but they'll both have 3 attacking styles to make up for it. |

Yeh. Mokou would make an excellent character, same with Komachi. Medicine and Kaguya would be interesting. Saw the screens, the boss character that was shown reminded me of Yuka...

Biggest disappointment of the day. I'm sure it's going to be a fun game, but like Okami, you're going to end up choosing one favorite weapon/mode for each and then you're back to two playable characters.
Translated press release.
Give me anything with Aya and I'll be happy. _________________

System explanation:

Looks like the new scoring system revolves around these green icons, which add to your 'Belief'.
- Belief influences the amount of points you get from the Score items.
- Your Belief slowly decreases over time (although apparently not against bosses), but you can halt the rate of decrease by collecting items/killing enemies. A bar shows you how much time you have when your Belief doesn't decrease.
- You experience a significant drop in Belief if you lose a life.
- Spell Card bonuses start from 10x your Belief, and naturally decrease over time.
- Bombing transforms enemy bullets into small Belief icons.
= Power rises by 0.05
= Power rises by 1
- Your Power can be anywhere between 0 and 5. At 1, 2, 3 and 4, your character has the corresponding number of Options (the orb-like objects that follow your character around and shoot).
- Increasing your Power level has no effect on your character's basic attack. It only affects the number of your Options.
- Bombing will cost you an Option, and thus a Power level.
- When you hit Power level 5, you can Bomb without losing an Option (I guess it takes you back to Power level 4)

| I'm quite excited about SWR but I don't think I can say the same thing about Mountain of Faith. Only Reimu and Marisa as playable characters really disappoints me as I loved 4/8 playable characters in IN. Though PoFV was kinda overkill. And no spell card practice mode doesn't please me too much either. But I guess Zun knows what he's doing it will make it just as awesome as his other games. |
