Giant tadpoles and massive crabs - these are the odd bosses in Yumi's Odd Odyssey
Coming to North America this month
It's been a long time since we've heard anything from Natsume about the upcoming 3DS platformer Yumi's Odd Odyssey.
If the name isn't ringing a bell, that's because it was originally released in Japan as Farewell Umihara Kawase - a light-hearted, coming of age tale of a gal and her magical fishhook that lets her swing through levels of murderous, mutated fish.
Well now, Natsume's dropped us a note to let us know that Yumi's Odd Odyssey is still happening for the 3DS and Yumi has a pile of equally odd bosses to look forward to.
Natsume's president and CEO Hiro Maekawa himself assured us that, "There are some big bosses in Yumi's Odd Odyssey that will offer a real challenge to our players,"
These bosses include a giant tadpole with a deadly stomp attack that you'll need to avoid and a cantankerous crab with a rock-hard outer shell that you'll need to crack.
Each boss will challenge players to use Yumi's odd arsenal of tricks and their own wits in equal measure, and they should make for fun challenges.
...even if they make us want to nip out of work early to go grab some sushi.
Natsume even went so far as to tease us with a North American release window for Yumi's Odd Odyssey - "later this month".
It's not a lot to go on, sure, but it should be out soon.
