City Connection has announced Hebereke Enjoy Edition, a new and updated version of SUNSOFT’s classic action game Hebereke.

Hebereke Enjoy Edition is launching on March 28th on Switch for 1,490 yen and will include both Japanese and English language support.

The new version is being released to celebrate the launch of its sequel, Ufouria: The Saga 2, which launches today, February 29th, for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch, with an Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 release coming later.

The original version of the game was supposed to come west as Ufouria: The Saga (known as Hebereke へべれけ in Japan) across Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. It remains unclear if the original version is still coming west or this new version will replace it.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

A long time ago, this world, which was just a rough place, one day started a big war.

The battle affected the surrounding world, and time and space were twisted and the world collapsed.

The main character, Hebe, is attacked by a battle and falls into a rift in space and time.

Hebe was heartbroken, but eventually regained his composure and decided to begin an adventure to return to his own world.

Character introduction

• Hebe – My name is Hebe. He’s the main character of this story! He can climb walls with items and is fast.
• O-chan – My name is O-chan. I am the only one who can walk on water and on ice. Hohohohohohoho (laughing)
• Sukezaemon – My name is Sukezaemon. Sesha can jump for a long time, so I’m sure it will be useful.
• Jennifer – Hey, my name is Jennifer. I’m as good in the water as anyone! Well, if you want to dive, leave it to me!

New Mode

• Common menu – You can play by switching between two modes from the in-game menu. *In the default state, it is set to Enjoy mode.
• Enjoy mode –  This is a beginner-friendly mode that allows you to play using convenient functions such as rewind, quick save, and quick load. In addition, you can use convenient functions such as rapid fire (jump) that makes Hebe’s wall climbing and Jennifer’s sudden ascent underwater easier, and the challenge of all 35 achievements. You can take on the challenge while doing so.
• Speedrun Mode – This mode records the clear time until the ending. Participate in the “Ranking” where you can compete with users from all over the world in terms of total time and challenge new records! In addition to the total time until clearing, the time you pass through checkpoints is also measured. *Useful functions and passwords are not available. (Continue is OK!) *If you reset or interrupt the game in the middle of a stage, or if the game ends, no records will be saved.

New features

• New feature 1: Rewind – You can rewind to any point while pressing the rewind button. (*This operation can be turned on/off as an option)

• New feature 4: Rapid fire (jump) button –  If you use it, Hebe’s special skill “wall climbing” and Jinifer’s sudden ascent underwater will be easy!
