Ufouria: The Saga

Post by SpaceBooger »

I was thinking about getting this import title on the Virtual Console.
Has anyone ever played it and what is your opinion of it?
Thanks

My opinion? Get a photobucket account.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Awesome advice on whether or not I should get the game!

I fixed the image (imageshack not photobucket) and I guess since I recently visited the site the image came from it worked for me.

It's a Famicom Sunsoft game. That alone should tell you it's good. The game is basically a Metroid clone with switchable characters. Also keep in mind that the VC release is the PAL version, so expect the game to be slower than it should be.

I have it for Famicom, and it's a really enjoyable title nobody's heard of. Kudos to Gaijinworks for Uforia. Maybe someday we'll get Gimmick! on the VC.

...letting someone know that I couldn't see their linked image was a bad thing? I think you guys read a 'tone' into my post that I wasn't really going for.

Naw, I understood. I was cool with it and fixed the problem that was unknown to me.
I am sad though that only one person has an opinion on this game... I think I may just have to get it based on reviews and pure curiosity.

Cool, as long as you don't think I was trying to be snarky. I also don't know much about this game but I did notice the reviews by Destructoid, Nintendo Power, and Nintendo Life all recommended it.

Thats what peaked my interest, but I trust the forum member's opinions more than paid reviewers.

I hadn't heard of it before this myself. It looks pretty interesting and unfortunately pricey.
