It's almost like the 3DS game is a lower resolution version of the Vita game.

 

[The M.O.B]

That doesn't make sense for the 3ds 3d models to be blurry like that, are they using fmv's or fully rendered cutscenes? If it's rendered then shouldn't it be more jagged?

And black bars on 3DS ver? wtf

 

[Ranger X]

Bad screenshots for the 3DS that is.

At least is the same damn game except for the resolution.

 

[GSR]

3DS shots are obviously scaled, but still, mmmmm that Vita resolution. If I wind up getting a Vita some day I may have to go with that over the 3DS version.

Also, I see there's a "flow" button in the menu. A way to keep track of your decisions, I'm guessing - that could be useful.

 

[Akselziys]

I believe these are normal resolution 3DS screens, for comparison's sake

It looks like the black bars are present in Quark's screenshot. Perhaps they appear for animated scenes?

 

[storafötter]

But the blurry 3d version is in 3D!
Unless the 3d stylus controls somehow feel better and it comes out in PAL land I see myself getting the VITA version. The higher resolution and bigger screen makes it nice. Cant wait though!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

3DS shots are obviously scaled

Plus they aren't representative of what it'll look like in 3D.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I will purchase the beautiful Vita version on day one

 

[rollingstart]

yeah, while both seem to share the same assets and the 3DS will be in 3D, the larger screen and clarity means I'm going with the Vita version.

Although, it's a shame that this game probably won't not use the dual screen in a unique way. In general the two screens on the DS were a waste, but 999 was one of the few games to use them in a really cool way.

 

[Takao]

3DS version looks like someone spread some vaseoline over the screen.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

3DS screens will likely look fine at native res. I just want more interesting puzzles from this beyond what 999 did!

 

[Alrus]

Will purchase the Vita version when I get one, considering the 3DS version is probably never coming to Europe I really don't give a damn about slightly worse graphics in a VN...

 

[Hylian7]

So they look pretty much the same, just the Vita one is running at a higher resoultion (duh), and the 3DS one has 3D. Really curious to see the 3D on this one though.

 

[Fantastical]

I feel the need to get the 3DS version because for some reason I feel like visual novels were made for two-screened devices. Maybe it's just because that's the only way I've ever played them. Plus 3D will be nice, but at the same time I would to see it on Vita's screen.

Decisions...

 

[Javier]

Still no intention of buying Vita.

3DS version it is.

 

[R_thanatos]

Well its the total opposite.Getting the vita vrrsion because the image looks cleaner.
Also no region lock

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Those 3DS images are obviously scaled. I wouldn't necessarily assume those are representative of what it'll look like. Vita will look sharper simply due to the higher res, obviously.

 

[Hours Left]

Vita version please. (Though I'll take whatever comes out in English, perhaps even both.)

 

[InfiniteNine]

Mmm the Vita shots look good. :3 <3

 

[R_thanatos]

in a game like this i don't think i'll need the 2nd screen too much , and besides i'm sold already on 2 things ..
-The vita screen quality
-the vita being region free for games ..
I can only import on VITA

The 3ds version will probably look better in motion but the fact that the vita version exists means that we won't get anything that will use the 3ds screen potential .

 

[Feep]

How the FUCK did I miss this?! 999 Sequel?

MY FACE

ALL OVER IT

 

[RurouniZel]

What's sad is I know I'll buy both anyway, whether I have a Vita at the time or not. >>

Dont want to buy a Vita, so 3DS version it is.

All sorts of awesome! Now where's the English release date? ^_~

Soon I hope.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

3DS version it is.

[French]

Wow the 3DS version looks terrible compared to the Vita's one ( which will look even better on its 5" OLED screen ).

Not surprising though.

[SerArthurDayne]

So Vita is higher resolution, crisper images But collapsible menu because of lack of two screens?

3DS is two screens, one with menu and one with game, and 3D (I assume that it will have something, if only depth of field, right?) But with a lower resolution, less crisp image?

Probably Vita for me, as I don't really care for the 3D effects generally. Collapsible Menu issue is probably an inconvenience, but hopefully nothing too bad.

Is this a definite localization title? I know 999 has a cult following, but I don't know if it actually sold well.

IIRC 999 sold far better than they expected it to.

Oh look, it's French!

Yeah, except they look identical - same models, same textures, same lighting model. Only difference is the resolution, obviously.

 

[Korigama]

Indeed. According to the interview in the May 2011 Nintendo Power, they were on the game's fourth printing by that point.

Yeah. It probably didn't sell well compared to more mainstream games, but for a niche title is sold a lot.

 

[thetrin]

Looks like I'm getting the Vita version.

 

[Volcynika]

3DS all the way for me.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

It's kinda sad how there will be quite a lot of 3DS releases within the next 6 months, but there's no telling how many of them will non-Japanese be able to play any time soon, if ever (especially Europeans)? Games like Beyond the Labyrinth, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime 3, Inazuma Eleven Go, Monster Hunter 3G, Rhythm Kaitou R and Extreme Escape Adventure. Tri-Ace's games haven't always made it to Europe and prequels to Rocket Slime & Extreme Escape Adventure never did. Inazuma Eleven 1 did, but I'm not sure if Nintendo will bring any more of them to Europe.

Rhythm Kaitou R had it's western release confirmed almost immediately after the Japanese announcement. Western title is Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure, releasing Q1 2012.

Retail leaks also basically confirmed Nintendo's publishing Inazuma Eleven 2 for Europe in early 2012.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I am just plain unlikely to get a Vita anytime soon, plus 999 used the DS in interesting ways so I'd hope they can do that again this time.

How exactly can they this time around? Unless the Vita and 3DS game are different, or share some kind of feature.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

3DS specific puzzles is a possibility, so maybe. You never know.

What does Inazuma Eleven 2 have to do with Inazuma Eleven Go, the fourth entry in the series?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

3DS specific puzzles is a possibility, so maybe. You never know.

You could go the other way around too with motion and rear touch. Better and more possibilities.

 

[PigSpeakers]

I think it'd be cool if both versions had different puzzles that took advantage of each platform's specific differences. I don't see that happening, but it'd be pretty awesome if it did.

 

[dallow_bg]

Love the notsosubtle Vita vs 3DS war going on in here. :-]

Oh you guys.

Throw in system specific puzzles and I'll buy both. Also, each with an exclusive ending.

 

[Alrus]

What does Inazuma Eleven 2 have to do with Inazuma Eleven Go, the fourth entry in the series?

What's so hard to get? We'll get Inazuma Eleven Go in about 2 years, just like we'll get Layton 5 a year from now.

Or they'll just skip IE3 and go directly to 4.

 

[Phenomic]

So do we have any solid information yet if the game is any different if you buy in on a Vita or a 3DS? I mean I assume it's going to be the same product ... just one with popping images?

 

[Takao]

What I was getting at is the fact a prequel getting localized is never a good judge for whether or not a sequel will get localized.

 

[matmanx1]

Whichever version comes out in English on a system I own (have a 3DS, will have a Vita in Feb) will be the version I get. If a miracle happens and both systems end up getting an English release then I'd go Vita just based on the IQ alone.

(P.S. Please bring this to the USA!)

 

[timetokill]

3DS has motion as well, so... rear touch is really not that interesting. Two screens is far more interesting, and the 3D could look very captivating.
