I think most people know it's actually the 104 building. If not, you aren't a true TWEWY fan.
Yuugo
The final versions of the BG and song are finally accessible through site resources.

Don't want to spoil yourself? Don't click the box..

That is awesome.

YEAH! CO-CO-COME ON!

I am now looking for my TWEWY cartridge so I can play through it again. Of course, I've found the case and manual. But, the cartridge itself is who-knows-where, and ripping apart my room in search of it doesn't seem to be helping me much. I might resort to illegal methods, but I hope I don't have to do that.

That said, even if it's not a new game, as long as it's not a smartphone port* or something ridiculous like that I'm satisfied. I'm really hoping it's a new game, but as someone who likes Digimon games I'm used to disappointment.

*The reason a smartphone port would be horrid would be because TWEWY's gameplay kind of requires buttons.

A big teaser site just for a mobile port? I'd rage, lol.

Although I wonder if it were a sequel, whether they'd keep the sprite visual style or use 3d models... Am I the only one who wants the sprites?

You'd be surprised at the stupid shit certain companies make teaser sites for. ;P This one looks like it had effort put into it, though, so that gets my hopes up.

Funny how they chose to split 6-3 and 2-0 and allowing leaks, instead of making every day have a different 5-letter part

An iOS port? What a waste of people's hype.

I just wonder how they'll even port it despite the game being made specifically for DS.

See? Turns out that my thread title was a fitting choice after all. ~ So, we're at least getting a new Arranged album and some iOS release. However....

Before everyone decides the #twewy countdown is over, they might want to wait for the countdown to be over. #moredripthanleak
This was the guy who translated the original TWEWY BTW. Though, it does make sense; why would SE go through all this effort of making an arranged album and an iOS release if they had no plans to make a real sequel and continue the series?

But as I've been trying to say, guys, don't get your hopes up too much. As I said from the beginning, this is SE we're talking about. inb4 they announce that they're permanently moving the series to iOS

EDIT: As for how they'll port it? Why, they'll remove weeks 2, 3, and the entire post game, they'll absolutely destroy the gameplay, and they'll make sure to do everything they can to strip out the soul of the original. ^_^
Azure_Kite
Ouch. Well, there is always the possibility that there's more to the countdown. SquEnix has fucked us over enough regarding TWEWY, but I still have hope... We'll survive the game of theirs.

The only franchise where SE really get things right consistently is the spin-off series Dragon Quest Monsters. Well, the time it took us to get Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 was absolutely horrid to the point where an enhanced version of the game came out in Japan before we got the original version, but that's about it so far and that incident can be attributed to the shift of publishing rights from SE to Nintendo messing with things.

For every other franchise, expect SE to troll. *Always* expect SE to troll. *ALWAYS*.

A little over an hour until the big announcement.

10 minutes remaining! 0_0

And the website broke, even after refreshing........ :<

GUHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY THEY GOTTA DO THIS
Azure_Kite
Nobody's at SquEnix's HQ to upload the actual announcement.
Jinxy
It says here on my browser there's still 2 more hours, basically midnight at GMT +8.
Zeverage
It must be set to your computer clock time
Jinxy
A countdown is completely redundant if it's affected by timezones. What the hell SE
Azure_Kite
hmm... It totally is, too. Tested it by changing the date to yesterday. Darn, I feel like an idiot. The announcement's either Next hour or the hour after that.
Zeverage
Now i'ma act all excited when this broken timer hits.......when my computer clock hits 1am :D
Azure_Kite
Yeah, that.

EDIT: REALLY ONLY 10 MINUTES TO GO.

Zeverage
soo....not this hour? xD
Azure_Kite
That lovely computer based countdown.

Apparently not. NEXT TIME. NEXT TIME. Japan is GMT+9, so.... it should be midnight there now.... ;._.

Guys, guys, look at the amazing Like/Dislike ratio the trailer has! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osRNt8ai9FM

Square Enix's fresh-faced hit The New York Times called "one of the best role playing games ever designed for anything" has busted onto iOS in a big way, with a slick and addictive new combat system, eye-popping HD art, and (of course) plenty of zetta awesome reasons for longtime fans to double dip.

Arm yourself with psychic superpowers and battle your way through a 7-day gauntlet of action: the Reaper's Game.
Oh, and so you can see the new, "amazing" one-screen gameplay for yourself: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/subarashik ... x/new.html

Also, it's out now in Japan. So at least they don't have to wait for this. And did they really just tell us to double dip? You take away the dual-screen aspect of the whole thing and then tell us to double tip?

Though to be fair, those new graphics are pretty.

EDIT: Oh, there's an English site, guys! http://www.square-enix.co.jp/subarashik ... n/new.html

Eh, I was kind of interested in this until I heard the price. You can't sell to phones at that price, I'm not saying it isn't worth it but mobile users are used to much lower pricing.

Pretty much this, actually. It should be more like $10 MAX, in which case it'd be a no-brainer for iOS owners.

EDIT: English gameplay footage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RmsJY77X7w

EDIT2: After watching the gameplay footage for a bit I feel like it is indeed worth $20, but I'm still concerned if it will sell at that price on the iOS.
Drakari_old
$20 app? :/

I think I'd rather go find the original used, it's probably less than that by now.

On the other hand, I am kinda interested in the new features. Not that much, but a little.
awp
if I had an iPad and spare money to blow (see: having an iPad) I'd more than likely buy this game. Again. $20 is a great price for TWEWY, and I love it to death as it is.
HakuNoKaemi
yeah, $20 it's a right price for a more serious game that have good design,audio,gameplay and story

The cheapest most people will be able to find it for is about $20, so it's a fair price.
awp
come to think of it I have never seen a used copy of TWEWY
Azure_Kite
That's because nobody wants to part with such an awesome game.

Really? I never checked, I just assumed that since it was pretty old...

Regardless, I guess I will get the iOS one then since I don't actually own the original.

some games just never seem to drop in price

for example, New Super Mario Bros Wii is still 65 dollars new and used it varies wildly depending on the store

Sequel tease. Square Enix is full of trolls.

EDIT: Though whether it's just a one week (since the original game had 3 weeks total because it'd be too short otherwise) eShop/iOS thing or a full-fledged game is still up in the air. Same with what platforms it is on. And if it's a true sequel or just a spin-off. And other crap.

Long story short, we're likely still getting something new. SCREW YOU SQUARE ENIX I HATE YOU TROLLS
Azure_Kite
SquEniTrolls. The lot of them.

People are wondering whether that's the real shiki, but she doesn't have short black hair and glasses.



I suppose it might be the girl shiki took the form of in the game? That's probably more likely.

She carrying the stuff cat that the real Shiki carries so... If this is the real shiki (and now with an upgraded clothing)
...She still needed to eat at lest a hamburger or two.

It could easily be a new chick. Mr. Mew could be explained by:

-It becoming a mass-produced doll (most likely; go read secret report 7 again if you don't understand)
-Shiki giving it to said girl for whatever reason
-Said girl stealing Mr. Mew 'cuz it was so kawaii (>_>)

As for the headphones? Neku threw away his headphones at the end of the game so I highly doubt he had much to do with this girls' wearing headphones. Plus, lots of video game/anime/manga/cartoon/etc. characters have headphones on all the time. It's really not a Neku-exclusive thing.

But really, all that matters is that now we know what SE was building up TWEWY awareness for. inb4 action platformer spin-off
Drakari_old
Apparently TWEWY: Solo Remix "requires camera flash" to run, and thus is not compatible with anything but iPhone 4.

Anybody know what the camera flash is used for that is so essential to the game to ban it from iPod Touch, iPad, and older iPhones?

EDIT: My bad, there is a separate, more expensive iPad-only version. Still doesn't help since I only have an iPod Touch, and actually makes it worse since not being available on iPad is the sort of thing that would probably be fixed unlike not being available on iPod Touch.

Well, looks like I'm not getting this after all...

It's because SE is full of trolls. That is really the only reason why.

Rise and shine, Players! Square Enix has put out some new mission mail for all interested up and coming vocalists! In this month's issue of Audition Monthly, Square Enix has put out a full-page listing, asking for vocalists to audition for The World Ends With You. If chosen, the lucky singer will get to make their debut in a new Square Enix game with music produced by Takeharu Ishimoto!
So, uh... yeah. SE, please stop trolling us and just announce the damn game already.
Drakari_old
I just hope the NEW game at least will be available on something other than iPhone and iPad. Even if it's just extended to iPod Touch or Android, I really want to play but TWEWY is not quite worth several hundred dollars to get a new system.
