A while back I was lucky enough to win a copy of this from Nintendolife. I already had (and had completed) it on the Switch, but it’s a great game so playing it through a game was certainly no chore.
Unsurprisingly, it’s the same game. But also unsurprisingly, it was awesome again.
I don’t know if I’ll mop up all the collectibles like I did with the Switch version, but you never know!

Just a brief post about this because I said a lot more on the ugvm Podcast, but since recording that I’ve completed it.
The main thing to mention is that in the intro to the game, I thought I’d figured out what had happened to Tim’s dad. However, you never actually find out as the game ends with a sequel setup. It’s slightly disappointing, but only because I was expecting closure.
The rest of the game was enjoyable, in a narrative discovery sort of way. There were puzzles and stuff but unless you fail to see things you can never actually go wrong.
Definitely hoping for a sequel soon!

In the future, you’ll reminisce about where you were and what you were doing on the day the great ugvm podcast episode 10 came out. Well, you might. Trauma does things to your head, mang.
In this historically accurate episode, deKay plays a game aimed at eight year olds, Choobs plays a number of seemingly identical games, Luffer plays virtually no games at all, and Zo plays a God of War game which both isn’t God of War but is God of War. Confused? We were never confused.
We chat about the Battlefield V: There’s A Woman In It trailer, everyone’s favourite vapourware the ZX Vega+ (again, sorry), the new dockless Switch, Biohazard/Resident Evil 7 coming to the Switch sort of, Rainway, the mystery of the missing PS4 Pros, the NES Classic (and new Famicom Classic), and all these games:
And some listener questions, stuff about E3, and general waffle. Mmm, waffles.

Well this was a bit different. As a reward for completing the three other Fairune games in the collection, this little shoot em up is unlocked.
Taking its cue from the bosses at the end of the first two games, this is a full-on Pop’n TwinBee style vertical shooter, featuring enemies from the main series in formations, and miniature versions of the bosses as, er, bosses.
It’s fun, but very short and easy. I mean, sure, it is only a bonus game but when I started playing I was hoping for more levels and stuff.

I’m guessing here, but I think Fairune Origin is the original idea for a game that eventually became Fairune. It’s a very short, similar game with just 12 screens and a few puzzles which are vaguely recognisable as those in the “proper” Fairune.
Your girl is taller and thinner, the baddies don’t seem to require you to level up to beat them, and it’s all over pretty quickly. It definitely feels like a working prototype, and, I suppose, if you see how much improved Fairune 2 is over Fairune 1 then work backwards from 1 to this with the same leap it makes sense.
Not worth paying for, but a nice little bonus.
