A very clunky and slow 3D arena fighter that's not worth playing, especially for $20. Also looks like an very early PS2 game and somehow still has fairly moderate framedrops. Might be because it's 60fps and I'm playing it on the Switch, but it's still very unacceptable given the graphics fidelity. Might be worth it if it's on sale, you're a Touhou fan, and/or want a cheap laugh (those last two points definitely applied to me), but otherwise skip this and just wait for Antinomy of Common Flowers to drop on Switch/PS4 if you want an actually fun and functional (and official) Touhou fighter on Switch. At least it's just an (officially endorsed) fangame, it's kinda cute with it's artstyle and the VA, and a Yukkuri is somehow the major plot point in this. But indeed, fanservice doesn't save an otherwise awful game.

Yeah uh, ain't that something. I'm glad that I never bought this one.
I only really got it for the novelty of having something Touhou-related on my Switch, but I wouldn't recommend it even on that merit. At least I didn't pay for it (Target gift card).
azure reflections filled that niche nicely for me. id get the puzzle bobble one but its pretty pricy
Azure Reflections seems neat, I'll check it out sometime. Touhou Spell Bubble is just Taito pricing in general, sadly. They're known for overpricing their games most of the time.
glad i got it for 4.99 on sale, might not even be worth that much
I'd feel ripped off if I played it for free, honestly.
