Touhou 12.8: The Great Fairy Wars ~ Touhou Three Fairies

Yes, folks, we have a Cirno-centric shooter, and The Three Mischievous Fairies have finally made an in-game appearance.

Quote from: ZUN
It's hot.

I made a perfect game for a hot summer like this!
Here's what I'll be putting out at the next Comiket.

Touhou Project #12.8 (how far are we going to go with this?)
    "The Great Fairy Wars ~ Touhou Three Fairies"

That's it.
Cirno declares war on the Three Fairies, oh no.  It's the sequel to the original story of the same name.

Actually, I'd been planning on putting out a game ahead of the second volume of "Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity" (the second volume's sketch "Greaty Fairy Wars" is its opening story), but due to the schedule and certain other things it didn't happen, but it's finally finished!
  (That's a lie, I'm working hard on it right now)
  I got Hirasawa Makoto-san to do some drawings for me, so it really has the laaaaazy feel of the three fairies comic (oh, and of course we have permission from Kadokawa).

  But, the actual game itself is:
     "A refreshing game where Cirno freezes the bullets she's supposed to dodge"
  It's the kind of game you can play mindlessly for a short time whenever you want, with a difficulty level you can chew on as you play it over and over, and bold, yet subtle patterns.

{gameplay images}

 ( * Warning, the game is still in development, so things might change)
  It's a simple yet bold game you can play without really knowing about the story or characters, and it's got a pretty natural-feeling system, so it's the kind of game that's worth playing, so if you're interested in the games, definitely give it a try.
  Of course, the version released at Comiket will be the final version!
  Oh, my Comiket booth will be second day, East hall A-28a.

  Oh, and it's not done yet, but.


Thanks to Solamarle for the translation.

I was 99.99% sure it was going to be called 12.7.


Why does ZUN do this to me...   :X

Actually i was first...but it didn't count >_< oh well

Yeah seems we'll have a game that branches off from one of the official books this time. This is pretty cool. I hope we can see Rinnosuke later then in a game. or Akyuu. That'd be great ^_^ Can't wait to see how this turns out haha.

As long as this is the end of the decimal games, I am ecstatic over this. Cirno finally gets to show her stuff. :3
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

You guys should have expected three decimal games after 12.3.


God damn it, I still can't get over the fact that it's not 12.7.  I knew I shouldn't have boasted about that.   :(

If I can 1-CC a Touhou on Normal it's easy modo

I'm not sure if this is the first game to have non-ZUN art.  Someone needs to clarify who drew the endings in PoFV.  Some people say it's ZUN, some say it's alphes.  They look similar to the ones from the fighting games, but I guess that's just my speculation.

First reaction: Hahahahaha!

My second reaction is merely the very small hope that Daiyousei may get an appearance. Other than that, it will be interesting to see the Three Fairies in danmaku format.

Either way it's the first time I've seen it, because it's not like I play PoFV.

I've been waiting until Sangetsusei is fully translated, but I suppose that this gives me a reason to forgo that plan and read whatever is currently available. I wonder if ZUN will eventually create games to complement Curiosities of Lotus Asia and Bougetsushou.

I would say IaMP is the first canon game to feature art completely done by someone other than ZUN. Or it could have been IN, but I think ZUN did the pencil work for that. It would be impossible to tell which came first anyway since both games had demos released at the same time.
