A video of me fighting and defeating in an epic battle the Unidentified Fantastic Flying Girl, Nue Houjuu
Undefined Fantastic Object, the 12th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku shooters. Danmaku is a term than can be loosely translated (and quite aptly in my opinion) into "curtain of fire" or "bullet hell", thus denoting game where high density in bullet is more important that a lot of enemies. The series was created and is managed by the one man team Team Shanghai Alice, composed only of ZUN. For more information on the series, check the wiki at the end of the description.
"Wow, that was fast" you might say. Well, you are right, it was fast. Even though I got beaten in time by SadisticPenguin, I hold no grudge. He's better than me, I'm subscribed to him, and I respect everything he stand for... even if I wanted to be the first video of Nue on Youtube -_-
Nue Houjuu, as I previously stated, is the Ex-Boss of UFO, the recently released game Touhou Project. I woke up at 4am to found out the page I was planning getting the UFO from was out of service. What's the meaning of this? Simple, the page exceeded its bandwidth (I think). In other words, the game has been released. So I proceeded to get the game from another page. I went back to sleep after I found it and started downloading it, woke up at 8am to play it and I must say, I regret nothing. UFO might not be PCB, which I consider one of the greatest if not the greatest game in the Touhou Window series. However it wasn't a let down. The only thing I was a little sad about was the music. I feel Nazrin's theme and Sky Ruin (stage 3 music) where the only truly memorable pieces. But aside from the music: the atmosphere, the characters, the patterns, the "I HAVE NO MOUTH. AND I MUST SCREAM." difficulty, everything was undoubtedly made by the hand of one genius, ZUN. Hell, even the art (read well people) THE ART!!! of the game was magnificent. I don't know what ZUN did. I heard he received external help for the characters drawing, not sure. Whatever it was, this game's art maintains the uniqueness of Touhou without being bad. And that's difficult. Whatever ZUN did in that area, he should keep doing it. What can I say? I was totally satisfied with his work.
This game is just an excellent piece of art that works in perfect harmony, concluding in the final duel with Nue Houjuu, a nue youkai that serves as the Extra Boss of this monument to excellence. When Nue first appeared, it "wow" me. It wasn't because of how cute or good looking the character was (no really, after the first shock, I started thinking "Nue is kind of hot for being ZUN's drawing." No, the reason I was shocked was because the first time I saw her and heard her theme, I could only connect one thing, or rather, one girl to Nue:
Sister of the Devil, Flandre Scarlet.
I wasn't the only one thinking this. I made sure not to check the wiki or anything else until I fought her. After that, I gladly went to check her background and, like I was expecting, I wasn't the only one that made the connection. Nue's similarities with Flan are impacting: their peculiar wings, their age (visually), their dark Creepy Girl aura, their similar theme song, even their danmaku patterns. Everything about this "new" (lol, pun. How is Nue pronounced anyways?) girl screamed "DEVIL". As a matter fact, I didn't "knew" (lol, pun, again) what class of youkai she was until later, so at first I thought she was actually a devil. She even wields a trident. Though to be fair, Poseidon wielded one before Lucifer. The only reason I knew (how do you spell Nue? Is it like "New" or is it like "nuh-EH" or "NUH-eh?") was because A) ZUN wouldn't use a simple devil and B) if he did, he would add a pointy tail and two horns.
I would write more, but youtube said I exceeded my limit. Too wrap it up. As you can see, my PC is fixed; however, classes started and I will be less active. I'll tackle Nue again when an English patch becomes available. I'll write more about her then.
