I think it has its fans. There are some indie companies making touhou games. I know there is a rougue like being or was made by them?
Which Touhou Event?
Hmm. Either way, I'm pretty positive that we will likely get a character that appeals to the Chinese in the Fighter pass. The top two candidates for that, imo, are an SNK rep and Touhou.
Interesting idea. Snk that big in china? Mai would be fun
You know, when you think about how the Fighter's Pass is going right now,
It's also getting the Switch sometime soon and it will be the first time in at least 14 years for a Nintendo console to have an official release in China as consoles were banned in China since the early 2000's. It's a huge and emerging market, it makes all the sense in the world to appeal to them on some level.
They are yes.
Luna Nights is amazing, so this is good news.
China is actually the country where Touhou is the most popular excluding Japan. A lot of people there would most definitely be familiar with Reimu.
That's good to know.
Nothing about Smash specifically, but ZUN is fond of Nintendo and has even collaborated with Bandai Namco in the past as well (Hence the appearance of Touhou characters in the Taiko Drum Master series).
Ah, thats good to hear! Reimu is one of the characters I'd like to see most. Not sure of the chances but anything is possible
Yeah, I think if ZUN's worked with Bamco, he'd be fine with Nintendo having a go.
Updating this because i double checked and it seems China is in fact 6th (according to google trends). 2nd is South Korea. I have no idea what lead me to believe it was 2nd. Maybe the fact that Touhou is still notoriously pretty big there.
Looks like it was Japan Expo, not Anime Expo. But you're not wrong
I couldn't find anything, although to be honest I'm more waiting on an english release date for Genso Wanderer: Lotus Labyrinth.
Well... it's hard to say, it would have been a success without a doubt if wasn't for the fact FGO and the KanColle-wannabes already released years ago.
I was under the impression that ZUN was against the mobage gacha model?
It doesn't seem to be an official game. I could be wrong but from what I read this seems to be a fan game that got ZUN's approval.
Oh, I know it's not an official game. But I thought ZUN didn't want gacha games of Touhou to be made due to how predatory they are. I could be wrong, though. While trying to find info on this, I did find this twitter thread which was pretty interesting
Speaking of... what games do you believe they'll take from for Reimu in Ultimate? I'm assuming mainly EoSD and AoCF.
I mean, I think it's pretty obvious EoSD design would be the default, but I'm more curious to see what costumes she might have.
I think that those are good ideas for alts.
Those are pretty good. Marisa is pretty much given, and Sakuya has a pretty big chance since she's one of the few other playable humans in the series. I'd just like to add Sanae in there as well, since she's another playable human, who's also a shrine maiden.
Those are also good ideas!
Awesome, now to get confirmation of a western release.
