The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi-, meaning "both," and dexter, meaning "right" or favorable. Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right / favorable on both sides." The term ambidexter in English was originally used in a legal sense of jurors who accepted bribes from both parties for their verdict.

I'm wondering why they only show us the "9" door in the trailer.. hm..
Also:

Any ideas of what this will have to do with "betrayal"?
My theory:
"Both favorable" could refer to the two choices the players seems to have: cooperation or betrayal? Perhaps they are told that both options can get them out of there. Or perhaps it has something to do with the bracelets. As someone pointed out, there are room for two digits on the watches.

Trailer and teaser site are up. It is most definitely a sequel to 999.

Who knows? Also, given the description of the game as "a game of betrayal", a thought occurs to me: what if the bracelets aren't linked to a bomb in the person wearing them, but rather to a bomb in a different person? If one were to fail the RED/DEAD test, they would be killing one other player and guaranteeing another's safety.

More screens, plus a cleaner version of the shot of Phi.



Girl: "I found this bracelet attached to my left wrist."

Woman B: "It's the same with us."

Going by the second shot, it looks like players will be linked somehow this time around.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS.

Oh wait...I'll never be able to play it :'( I'm really sad about this! It's starting to look awesome...

What is a Playstation Vita? I feel like such a n00b for asking this. Is it anything that may let me play the game in the UK?

Place your bets on which character is going to die before the game even gets properly started!

@grim_tales: the last thing you should worry about is the story, I say :) Think about how nicely everything came together in the first game.

BTW, seems like 999 is finally getting some serious attention after it's sequel was announced:

Good point. Perhaps the success of 999 means Aksys could bring the original (and so the sequel) to the UK. I hope it won't be censored in the UK though.

Okay, now I'm interested.


Also, the Latin is wrong. "Tu fui, ego eris"? That doesn't mean anything. "Tu" means "you" (second person singular), "fui" means "(I) was" (first person singular), so it's something like "you was", which makes no sense. "Ego" means "I", while "eris" means "will be" (second person singular). It'd make sense if it was "Ego fui, tu eris" ("I was, you will be"). I wonder if that's intentional or not (having the personal pronouns swapped could have some significance, maybe?).

I started looking at who owns what bracelet, but I can't seem to have enough frame control. And I can't seem to download the video itself. But here's what I've got.

3: Strong Male
6: Thick Sleve
4: Male?
7: Same as 4?

Does anyone else have to log in every time they visit the forums, or is it just me?

From what I got:

0: The robot guy? It only makes sense...
1: Wrinkly skin - has to be the old guy
2: Bare arm - could be either gender, Snake-like guy?
3: I believe we know it's Sigma?
4: Looks like a strong male arm to me too
5: Very clean, smooth arm, girl? - Clover-ish girl?
6: Sleeve - little kid
7: Didn't change after 4, so uh... I'm not sure either
8: cuff - which means it's the June-ish girl

The Lotus-ish girl with the dark skin only had the skull appear on her's. Hmm...
