Touhou Koumakyou: Classic Lets 2002 Save Data Carry Over
Shanghai Alice Reprise representative JYUNYA announced on September 9 that the Classic version included with Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic supports transferring replays and save data from the original 2002 release of Touhou Koumakyou. The compatible data comes from version 1.02h of the original game. JYUNYA stated that all replays and save data can be carried over, despite the Classic version being a separately reproduced title. The Classic version also adds a replay fast-forward function and a key configuration option to select the confirm button, a change made with console versions in mind. Alliance Arts released Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam on September 10. The standard edition costs 1,990 yen, while the deluxe edition costs 2,966 yen and includes a digital sound player app. The New Classic version features recreated graphics and music, with all BGM arranged by ZUN. The Classic version reproduces the 2002 game as faithfully as possible, including its user interface and character portraits.
