NEO: The World Ends With You announced

The Game has begun anew as SQUARE ENIX today announced that NEO: The World Ends with You, the follow-up to the hit action role-playing game, The World Ends with You, is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch system in Summer 2021.



NEO: The World Ends with You transports players to the streets of the Shibuya, where they will take part in the “Reapers’ Game,” a life-or-death battle for survival. Players will take on the role of Rindo as they explore the heart of Tokyo to uncover the mysteries behind the sinister Game in which they have been forced to take part.

NEO: The World Ends with You brings a re-creation of modern Shibuya to life in a unique and comic-inspired style. Players can explore and enjoy the sights, sounds, and culture of this bustling city, fight monsters alongside their ally companions in fast-paced action battles, and complete missions as they seek to change the fate they’ve been handed.

I've got mixed feelings about this...
On the one hand, TWEWY was/is possibly the greatest (imo) game on the DS, but then the re-releases just missed the mark by altering too much or not having the "awesome when you get it" control scheme.
The fact that this has been announced for both PS4 and Switch is concerning in terms of what control scheme it will have, as the battle system was such a major part of what made the original version of the original game stand out.

Regardless, I'm still kind of stoked that Square-Enix are giving us new installments to the two best RPG's they've made in the last 20 years with Bravely Default and TWEWY.

I agree. Alas, the era of dual-screen devices seems to have passed. (Maybe they could go nuts and release a mode that requires two Switches in order to be played?)

As much as i hate pc gaming, i think it would work well on pc, you can do all the actions with a mouse and you can make the game look and play as in emulator, or even cooler i think, you could probably try to put 2 screens in separate windows,it would be pretty cool, the only part not possible so eassyly would be using pins activated by mic but you can probably think of some solution, use assets from HD version but make it work as the original game, add all the extras from other versions and you can add something new if feeling genorous and it would be a good package.

I know that I am an adult because they just announced a sequel to the greatest game of all time and my reaction was, “ah, that’s nice...”

The trailer looks amazing though, they kept the visuals from the original, but didn’t make it look dumb or awkward in 3D. The powers look exactly as I imagined they would in 3D, better even.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
