I think the last Touhou game I played was Mountain of Faith or UFO. I want to try the new ones but I think I actively avoid it because it will make clear how much my mind and reflexes have slowed since I was younger, which will be a stark reminder of my own mortality.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
The latest one is a pair-up game, you're just pairing up with yakuza goasts instead of characters with names or portraits.

They still get more lines than Flandre has had, total, since her introduction.

Agreed.

Turtle Dragon Oni leader of the Goast Otter Yakuza is one of Zun’s best character concepts imo.

there's a lot of dlc, it's all character options but it does feel a bit sleez/much, only one worth
all in all prob a 7.5ish/10 above average but not truly spectacular, worth it for the current price or on sale if you really like touhou, shiren, and are willing to look past the faults. this coming from someone who particularly likes it and is probably more willing to look past its faults than i should be.

Thanks for the review! I’ll put it down for when it’s on sale so I can pick up some dlc too at the same time then

the otter power gives you invincibility for 5 seconds which seems a bit unbalanced

WBaWC is actually being called one of the easiest games in the entire series, thanks in part to the power-ups and thanks in part to just the spell card design.

The first half of it is very easy, but the difficulty spike from 3 to 4 is one of the steepest in the entire series. It ended up pretty hard in the end, with the Backup Dancers being particularly rough.

That said, I found its extra stage to be one of the easiest in the series. I think ZUN even said that was intentional because that time the extra stage was a continuation of the main plot instead of an only semi-related bonus story?

If Reimu should be in Smash then Kiryu and/or Majima should be in TH17

There were a few really awesome jazz albums with Touhou songs from a few years back. Real instruments, real singers. If anyone remembers the names or knows of other good Touhou jazz albums I would love some recs.

This might be a long shot, but:

Years ago someone here linked a video of byakuren's life set to some song (I thinki it was a non-touhou song, actually) and the shtick was the entire thing was done in zun's style.

And now I have the maddening feeling of remembering I liked the song & video, but cannot remember any actual specifics

Does this ring any bells to anyone

It's probably one of these.

Unfortunately it's hard to find a specific video because a bunch of the names are in Japanese and a bunch have been lost to the internet. I just remember the Ichirin Burning Down The House video.

Oh wait, I found his Nico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/user/45465
