I hope we get physical releases of these.

Reports on Steam that the artwork has been AI upscaled, so temper your expectations accordingly.

Everything said on Steam is going to be retarded, there's no point looking at it for anything reliable.

The graphics look a very odd and ugly mix, I wonder how much is placeholder. I doubt ZUN is doing much personal work on this besides the music.
Apparently "the Classic version recreates the original 2002 gameplay as closely as possible", so my first guess is the scoring system will be different. We'll have to see how classic Classic mode actually is - if it doesn't have true 8-way movement then I'll know this dev team will never be worth anything.

doesnt look like ai to me, wish people could stop with all that moronic witch hunt.


and if it is ai, we should burn gensokyo to the ground

Apparently ZUN found backup data of ESoD along with original character illustrations on another drive.

Now we need the other Touhou games to be ported to modern consoles instead of being stuck on PC/Windows/Steam jail... Especially the newer ones.
