999 Staff Working on 3DS/Vita Game

[Byronic Hero]

MORE INFO + SCANS!!!

The guy dressed like a mechanic is the game's main character, Sigma. Sigma is an ordinary college student who will frequently make sexual comments, annoying girls.

The girl in the center of the character art is Phi. She's cool and intelligent, but will sometimes say stupid jokes. She says she's a C cup when she's actually an A cup.

The story begins when Sigma is kidnapped and awakens in an elevator next to Phi. While Sigma doesn't know Phi, she seems to know him, even calling his name out. A bunny appears on the elevator monitor, causing them to flee the elevator (I'm not sure what the bunny says to make them flee, although if I saw a talking bunny on an elevator monitor I'd flee too). They find themselves in a warehouse alongside seven others. They will have to escape from this facility.

Chunsoft refers to Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes as a "game of betrayal." What that means is unclear at present, as only a few gameplay details have been announced. The game will have visual novel parts and escape parts. The escape parts involve exploring rooms and solving puzzles.

Development on Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes is currently at 50%. Famitsu lists the release time frame as TBA.

So it is going to use 3D models...

That kinda sucks

Why does it such? (Some would complain like "2D models? But (3DS/Vita) can do more than that.)

Hmm... sounds VERY similar to 999. A spiritual successor, perhaps? Even a sequel?
I was wondering how long it would take before something like bra sizes or flat chests would be mentioned... looks like I lost my bet.
What's with the math-related names (Sigma, Phi)? Some kind of running theme throughout the game?

Interesting.

The style.

I like the hand drawn characters, not some polygonal attempts at them.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I didn't like the style at first, but its growing on me. It wouldn't be much of a next gen handheld title if it looked exactly like the original.

Aww man they don't have anybody hot in there like they had with Lotus. Still going to buy this, loved 999 because it scared the hell out of me. And not to mention, with the 3DS I'm actually going legit and actually buying the games, so here's hoping we get many more VN's from them

Now I'm really starting to think that it takes place during the first one...though there would be no reason for this...

Spoiler

The reason for this is because Akane is Zero, and the reason for having conducted this Nonary was so that she could save June...but she did that, so what would be the point?

You dont think the "All-Ice Lookalike" is just as hot, if not hotter than Lotus? She's too sexy for a shirt! xD

QUOTENow I'm really starting to think that it takes place during the first one...though there would be no reason for this...

They could just be having another one just for the hell of it, like they did originally. Maybe Bill Gates & Steve Jobs could be running it.

The creator did say that Zero's revenge wasn't only restricted to that Nonary game. There was something much bigger planned.

True.

To be honest, it's possible that what went on in Building Q might have just been the prologue to an even larger scheme. If that was the case, then you could say that they were heading off to prepare the rest of their plan after the true ending.

They did? When? Was it in the game, or did they say it on a site somewhere? It does make sense though, for reasons I don't feel like making spoilers to state. If so, I'm excited to see how they make it on par or better than the first one.

 

[Slyakin]

From the wide cast of characters, I'm assuming it will follow a similar flow to the first game.

Of course, the chances of that are rather small, because... didn't the dev say that he wanted 999 to be mainly interpreted?

Read it if you have time. It should give some answers about 999.

Let's hope that the 3D models don't take away from the experience of the game. Hand-drawn emotions are almost always better portrayed.

Wow, that's informative and really helpful, I don't know if I want to read it all, though, as I think of it as part of the fun to figure it out on my own.

I really like the 3D models (Not the idea of it or transfer from 2D Visual Novel to 3D [insert insert subgenre here] Adventure game but rather how they look). I smell cutscenes.

 

[4-leaf-clover]

3d models.... -_- meh i like 2d models more, I think 3d models wouldn't really fit in a game like 999.

 

[Windaga]

I haven't played 999 yet (though I do have it!), but I love that this is on both the 3DS and the Vita. It means that more people will get to enjoy the title, and if it does well on both platforms, we might see more from the developer.

That being said, I guess I should start 999 xD
