Touhou 14 very soon on Playism

Post by Bonus! »

Just seen on NeoGAF:
Zun's twitter : I will be offering downloadable versions of my games in keeping up with current times. First up will be Touhou Double Dealing Character (aka Touhou 14). Even if it's a small thing, if it can help promote games by small-scale developers, it'll make the future more fun.

Too little, too late. ZUN's games have been so relentlessly pirated in the West that I've met several people who believed them to be freeware.

For the longest time I believed games like Touhou and Bunny must die were freeware games; I didn't realize they were actually commercial releases until I noticed that it was impossible to find them on sites that weren't obviously warez sites.
I really think that Zun screwed himself over by underestimating the western Doujin scene. In fact, he's probably still underestimating it: his tweet didn't say anything about the game being released on the international version of Playism.

Yeah. It'd be great to be able to purchase these games. I have them all on an external hard drive, but I want to give ZUN my money.

Same. I've even told one that the games are actually not free, and he responded "well it was free on the website I got it". I didn't feel like starting something, so I just let it go by.

Jewel cases are literally the reason I haven't ordered the physical games.

Come on ZUN. Give it all to us.

I think ZUN doesn't care that much because he's already rolling in cash.

Not only that but with so many Touhou clones and other great shmups hitting Steam (Ikaruga, Crimzon Clover) the exclusivity isn't there anymore. Now there's variety for shmups on PC, whereas before it was just Touhou.

Touhou is far from being the first PC shmup.

Not the first but dare I say the first "quality" bullet hell.

Seems it's out, and Playism can "neither confirm nor deny" the possibility of an English release.

How easy is it to shop at the JP playism store? I couldn't care less about an English version, if such a thing would ever exist.
