Unknown if they will publish both the DS *and* Vita versions, but at least one is ocming.

Dammit. And I was going to wait to buy these.

If its happening at the end of the year then you're going to be waiting anyway.

Einhander · 02-21-2012, 03:54 PM

I mean I was going to wait until sometime next year to get either system.
Now I will probably get whichever system this is out for. If it's both, I'll probably grab a Vita.

Some comparison shots between versions

This is the "good people die" game with the Egyptian lady who doesn't wear a shirt right?

Einhander · 02-21-2012, 04:59 PM

Yes, it's the Good People Die game, though I don't know much about the story, and I intend to stay away from coverage.

Rpgfan write up with Nintendo Power scan. Hmm. Between this and Etrian Odyssey, the 3DS suddenly seems actually worth having.

you can always just buy the game, so you guarantee first run editions, and buy the consoles later...

Yeah I was thinking about that. I might actually grab DS Overclocked soon for that very reason.

Also, I wish it was my 999th!

javi · 02-21-2012, 11:46 PM

How much do you have right now?

That, and I think that I would get the 3DS version too. Yeah, the Vita version looks better, but looks aren't everything when it comes to games. To me, it looks like there's more going on in the 3DS version compared to the Vita version.

Einhander · 02-21-2012, 11:52 PM

I'm at like 685 or something, but I have a couple of games on order so I'm not sure.

I'm kind of torn now. If Etrian Odyssey hadn't been announced on the same day, I would've just gone for the 3DS.

Now I'll just wait and see whether both versions get released here I guess.

justin_credible · 02-21-2012, 10:41 PM

Thats alot of sequels.

javi · 02-21-2012, 11:01 PM

Yeah, and it will probably be Einhander's 999th game that he will buy too!

Just a week after Nintendo Power revealed that Chunsoft's Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die was indeed coming out West, publisher Aksys Games confirmed the news - and gave the title a new name. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward will release here sometime this fall on both the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, just as it did earlier this month in Japan.

Fans will be more than happy to hear that both Japanese and English voices will be in the Western version of the game - Zero Escape is divided into 'novel' and 'escape' stages, and the novel stages will be fully-voice, except for the main character, Sigma. As previously mentioned, the visual novel has 24 endings, and many characters from predecessor 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors will make a return, as you may have noticed in the screenshots.

I'll be grabbing the Vita version of this.

Escaflowne2001 · 02-29-2012, 01:04 AM

Yep, I'll import the Vita version aswell.

Einhander · 02-29-2012, 02:37 AM

You never know, you may get a Euro release.

Did 999 get one?
