Nintendo Direct Mini: ‘The World Ends With You Final Remix’ Makes Its Way To Switch!!

by The_acz

11 Years ago Square Enix released a small RPG title for the Nintendo DS.

This game had an odd story and even odder gameplay. Unlike normal RPG’S, this one took advantage of the dual screens on the console to create 2 separate styles of gameplay. One where you would normally attack your way through enemies, and the other where you’d use magical pins to attack. Although very positively reviewed and loved by fans, the game failed to sell enough copies to warrant a sequel and any continuation of the series. This game was The World Ends With You, and the game is finally receiving a 2nd chance at success.

Nintendo’s January mini direct kicked off with this announcement, and fans were absolutely ecstatic about the announcement. Remember that weird anime guy with the headphones from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance? His name is Neku, and he’s the main protagonist of the game.  The game starts with a mysterious countdown timer appearing on his hand informing him to get downtown or face termination, and from there, mysteries and mysteries abound pop up.

For fans planning a return trip to the game, you’ll be happy to know that Square will be adding a whole new section of the game that definitively wraps up the story for good. No release date has been announced, but the game is slated as a Nintendo Switch exclusive for sometime this year.  Check out the announcement trailer below!

‘The World Ends With You’ Returns… To iOS?

by Josh Jackson

Eariler this week, we reported that a new teaser site from Square Enix seemed to be hinting at something related to the DS cult classic, The World Ends With You. While the website is still counting down, it seems like Square accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and the big secret was apparently something we never expected… Or wanted.

Thanks to a listing on the Japanese iTunes store, an album titled, “The World Ends With You- Crossover”, listed remixed tunes from the original and additional songs from the Kingdom Hearts 3D soundtrack which are set for an apparent iOS remake. The listing was taken down, but not before some crafty Japanese took screenshots of the page.

 

Oops!

 

But is that all there is to the story? Since the leak, Brian Gray, (@brilingual,) one of the translators for TWEWY, tweeted the following:

“before everyone decides that the #twewy coundown is over, they might want to wait for the countdown to be over”.

The countdown is still going, so we won’t know for sure if this is all there is to the story until the clock hits zero. It’s pretty strange that we seem to keep getting iOS releases when most gamers seem to prefer them on their gaming consoles. I understand that everyone and their mothers have iPhones and iPads  at this point, but that larger install base doesn’t mean everyone is going to care. Especially when games like Final Fantasy Mega Man are iOS exclusive, especially the latter where its fans have been begging for a release and expected it on an actual gaming platform.

Is it too late to hope for a sequel? And not for my phone or tablet? Pretty please Square?

‘The World Ends With You’ To Get A Follow Up?

by Josh Jackson

One of the most beloved original DS titles just might have a follow up on the way!

The World Ends With You, the popular action RPG brought to us courtesy of Square Enix and many of the key people that gave us Kingdom Hearts, was praised by fans and critics alike for its stand out art style, unique touch screen based game play and catchy music, so much so that fans have been begging for a sequel ever since. Well, we might not have to wait too much longer, at least not if this teaser site is any indication.

While nothing solid is mentioned on the site as of yet, the font and music sure as hell reminds me of the title. When you keep in mind that the latest entry of the Kingdom Hearts series, Dream Drop Distance, created a new Traverse Town that featured numerous World Ends With You characters, it’s obvious that someone at Square is listening to the cries of its fans.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until Monday at midnight if that clock is to be believed. Until then, get hyped!
