Sayonara Umihara Kawase appears to be on track for an early 2014 release in North America.

USgamer recently caught up with Agatsuma Entertainment marketing manager Nobuhiro Hikage, who shared the news. A western version isn’t completely confirmed, but the site believes “his comments made it sound like more or less a done deal.”

USgamer speculates that we’ll be seeing Sayonara Umihara Kawase as an eShop-only title.
