Touhou 16 「東方天空璋(とうほうてんくうしょう) ～ Hidden Star in Four Seasons」 announced
☆ Kana ☆:
Whoa, didn't quite expect this kind of announcement, but on the other hand, I guess it's about time by now, huh? :V
I find it kinda funny that Cirno of all characters seems to be associated with summer in this game, being an ice fairy and all...though thinking a bit more about it, her personality does seem quite appropriate for it~

Marisa is dressed in winter gear, but Cirno is tanned and has "SUMMER" in the background in one of the pictures... maybe Aya is autumn and Reimu is spring? i wonder what it means, assuming i'm correct... hmm...

I can totally see Reimu being associated with spring, given it's in one of her theme titles. And with Marisa and Cirno getting winter and summer respectively, that leaves autumn for Aya, which makes perfect sense to me~ :D
(...Heh, and while typing this, I noticed that Cirno is apparently even referred to as "Tanned Cirno" in-game according to the screenshots. :V Well, that aside, it's nice to see ZUN experimenting with darker skintones~ :3)

Liking the idea of a return to an old style shmup as well, though it's been a while since I've had to collect lives or points the old fashioned way. Gotta bust out PCB and get some practice in or something.

I'm hoping for once he's actually telling the truth. It might actually be going back to some awful gimmick based resource system. Again. I mean he said he was doing that with DDC and well we saw how that turned out.

True. I'm one of those waiting for the old fashioned system actually.

Was thinking the same, actually. Only with EoSD or something.

It looks like we're not going back to the BlueChip setup sadly. They've been utterly meaningless since Mountain of Faith...
Bringing back being able to start with more than 3 lives would be great too.
