Honestly, if they had developed this for Android as well, I might be interested in playing the new version too. Spoiler: 999 major spoilers |

Yeah there's definitely a fair few 'Lets plays' of the game up already though I doubt there'd be any reason to wait for an iOS LP over a DS one.

For a lot of companies it's probably not a big deal but the Zero Escape series is actually doubting they'll get the third one out specifically because they aren't sure there's enough sales and interest in the games.

There's actually a group of fans who did an audio reading of the game. For a bunch of people who aren't actors, they did a pretty good job. Here's the first part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OzhDo6qa6Y Quote: I'd advise buying the game over an emulator mind.

But it's not the US sales of Zero Escape that Chunsoft was disappointed with. It sold very well here. It's the Japanese sales that didn't do well. That's pretty surprising, especially since this is a visual novel, but that's how it is. I really think though that ZE3 will probably get made eventually. Or maybe we'll just have another Shenmue 3 on our hands. Hope not. |

I think I remember hearing somewhere that contrary to what we think, there's just as heavy a stigma on visual novels and Otakus in Japan as there can be here in the West but yeah it's strange it didn't sell well I keep thinking there's some obvious financial or cultural reasoning behind it we are missing. Perhaps Japan didn't really like the first one but gave it a shot, and then concluding that they didn't want more sales dropped for the sequel. |

It's not something you really want to call yourself there. For some reason, anime is considered "childish" while manga is widely accepted. Apparently, Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii had to convince Japanese people to see it only because the film was well-received in America. 999 isn't really the typical visual novel. It's very Western in its plot, characters, and themes, with the exception of the names. Other VNs like Steins;Gate and 428 make use of modern Japanese culture which is why those were so well received. It's probably why it was more well-received in the West then over there. |

Perhaps Japan didn't really like the first one but gave it a shot, and then concluding that they didn't want more sales dropped for the sequel. In Japan, otaku used to refer to someone who was totally, mind-blowingly obsessed with anime/manga. When the term came to America, we basically started using it just to refer to anyone who likes anime/manga. And now that definition is making its way back to Japan, so it isn't quite as stigmatized as it was. Also, while I don't think there's a "stigma" on visual novels, they aren't really very popular or well-known. (So while the big share of visual novels are made and produced in Japan, it's still a niche market, even in Japan.) And yes, manga is much more widely "accepted" than anime. Anime in Japan is basically considered the same as cartoons are in the West. I don't really know why it is, tbh. I think it has something to do with the fact that manga has been established longer (like how literature has been around for longer than animation), but *shrug* (And of course, everything in here is prefaced with "afaik" :P) |

Hoooooooollllllllly shiiiiiit. I just beat the game (all endings) and I can say my mind is blown. I really wasn't expecting much from this game but it was way better and smarter than I expected. The ending was really clever. Few things I didn't get though Spoiler: |

Question is whether they'll change the sprites to 3D models or just make them higher res. Also, I think it's kind of a shame since the dual screen aspect of the original was really cleverly handled. Putting it on the Vita just seems wrong somehow (I'm all for the Vita getting more love, but still...) |

Higher quality and extended video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUeWk7XtdFw (note: be wary about related videos for ZTD) I see there's an "ADV screen" thing in the upper right... maybe there will be a way to switch between dialog and novel modes or something to achieve that effect. |

Those are some really nice quality sprites, actually. If it wasn't for me having finished the first game, and just not really feeling the need to go back to it outside of the new voice acting, I'd almost consider getting it. Oh well. |
