  • You may recall a little after The World Ends With You: Solo Remix’s launch that I posted up a bunch of videos uploaded via the companies Youtube page. Well, there is a little bit more behind them than just the Crossover soundtrack being released this month.

  • Something rather annoying about The World Ends With You: Solo Remix was that when it came to the ending credits, they activated scene skip and while I was running around to find the power cable as my iPad dwindled down to 1% I must have hit the screen and skipped the entire ending/credits sequence. However, some people who own the game have discovered a hidden scene at the end of the credits, potentially hinting at a sequel to the game (or at least some form...

  • While the announcement and release has been made of The World Ends with You: Solo Remix to both Japanese and North American markets, there is still yet one more thing for the company to release.

  • For those who missed the announcement a short while ago, the countdown page Square Enix has had running for the last seven days was for The World Ends with You: Solo Remix on the iPad and iPhone. While I am not entirely happy with this announcement, being a member of the bandwagon who were hoping for a sequel – as it was perhaps one of the better RPGish titles for the Nintendo DS I hope this opens the doors for non-DS owners to check it...

  • While there was slight hope yesterday that there would be more than this one announcement, Square Enix have today confirmed that the 7-day countdown they recently teased was in relation to an iOS port of The World Ends with You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai), from its original Nintendo DS release. This will not be a direct port but includes a brand new set of music, the same combat system with improvements across the board, improved visuals and the ability to “Tweetify Shibuya” and exchange profiles with...

  • As I post this, the countdown on Square Enix’s “Subarashiki Kono Sekai” (The World Ends With You) website keeps ticking down to the 0 mark, where one or more announcements will be made. Due to a few accidental leaks by the company through their e-store yesterday, it is now believed an iOS announcement will be in the works. However through Twitter, Brian Gray – the lead translator of TWEWY for the Nintendo DS tweeted this status update in regards to the announcement: Before everyone decides...

  • While I will be holding off for a potential mistake or even more than one announcement when the online countdown ends – it seems like Square Enix in Japan may have spoiled their own announcement. The companies online store has a listing for a new “The World Ends with You” Soundtrack (すばらしきこのせかい – Crossover – | Subarashiki Kono Sekai – Crossover -) and while now removed, made mention to an iOS version of the game. You can expect to see new music tracks in the...

  • Square Enix have launched a countdown website for their Subarashiki Kono Sekai (The World Ends With You) series which was originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2007-2008 with the games characters recently making an appearance in the latest Kingdom Hearts game on the Nintendo 3DS. Given the bottom of the page mentions Character Designs by Tetsuya Nomura and Gen Kobayashi, I think we can be expecting some sort of new game in the series… but we must wait seven days until we find out...
