Ufouria: The Saga 2 Announced for Nintendo Switch
Posted 01 Feb 2024 at 11:59 by Joshua Phillips
A sequel to Sunsoft’s NES classic, Uforia: The Saga, releases on March 1st!
Uforia: The Saga 2 seems to be half remake, half sequel to the obscure but beloved Uforia: The Saga from Sunsoft, which was a platformer released in Japan and Europe in the early 90’s (pictured below).
A European oddity, never released in America.
This long awaited sequel ditches the earlier pixel graphics for an adorable, almost clay-like look.
Scroll down for the official word on this oddity and the trailer!
Upyo! How's everyone been?

Familar characters and stages of the original game are back, transformed from their formal pixel art to charming handmade feltwork. Iron bead artwork also plays homage to the nostalgic pixelated look of the original.
