This week, Luke goes fishing in the Super Famicom only cult classic Umihara Kawase - a surreal adventure of grappling hooking about on a fishing line, dodging fish eyes and climbing around in front of a background of pencils and math class stationary.
Umihara Kawase was first released in 1994 on the Super Famicom, developed by TNN & NHK. It was a Japan exclusive, spawning sequels on the Playstation, Windows & the PS Vita. The game is a puzzle-platformer, centered around a very sophisticated grapple and swing mechanic. The player must travel through the many "fields" of the game, searching for the correct exit to take them to the end.
WedSNESday is the Level 0 NPCs weekly series where we play one older game for one episode, just to relive the nostalgia and maybe make your hump day just a little bit more fun.
