Wow, Umihara Kawase PSP is getting the localization treatment and being brought here as Yumi's Odd Odyssey. I dunno how the PSP port is, but if you're looking for the biggest platforming challenge of your life, here it is. I found the PS version very fucking hard, but I will admit that I didn't understand the controls properly. Great fucking music, by the way. Very Japanese elevator music style. Nah, that's not right

There was a long thread about him on the monkey board a while back but basically he's a weird guy who is semi-famous as a career nerd and was determined to publish Umihara Kawase for Playstation in English. It was like his life's work the way he told me about it, as I sat on his sofa, inexplicably next to a large trash can full to the top with used kleenex and q-tips.
