SAYONARA UMIHARAKAWASE++ (PS VITA)

The Vita's physical library is a treasure map, and the Japanese cult classics are the gold. Sayonara UmiharaKawase++ for PS Vita is a Strictly Limited Games exclusive, limited to just 1,994 individually numbered copies worldwide. That number isn't random.

It's a nod to 1994, the year the original Umihara Kawase debuted on the Super Famicom and quietly became one of Japan's most beloved platformers. This isn't just the modern version of the game. It includes the original 1994 release as well, making it the definitive physical package for the series.

The Vita has become the collector's handheld, and its library of niche Japanese titles only grows more desirable as time passes. UmiharaKawase's rubber-band grappling mechanic is still unlike anything else in platforming, a system so odd and so satisfying that it spawned a cult following across decades. With under 2,000 copies in existence, this is the kind of Vita cartridge that makes other collectors pause when they spot it on your shelf.
