Never got a chance to play this until 2015, and holy fuck it's such a gem. I wasn't expecting it love it so much.

wow, has it really been 10 years? damn...
Regardless, one of the best DS games ever made and one of the most unique games I've played. It and Chrono Trigger DS are the games that finally got me into JRPGs

The worst part about not getting a sequel in 10 years is that with the 3ds dying down, and the wii u being basically dead, it's almost too late for a sequel to the duel screen battle system. It just won't be possible soon, since nothing will actually *have* two screens.
I'd still buy a single screen twewy 2, since there's so much more to the game than that as shown by the ios port, but it's still a shame.

Was a really fun game, but I never quite got the hang of the dual screen combat. The upper screen was always my bane; I couldn't balance both very well. My partner up top most of the time I just made block until I could switch my focus.
Those pins though, man. So much effort to evolve.

In High School, this was the RPG that got me in to RPGs. Despite being an Action RPG, finishing TWEWY led me to explore the genre more and fall in love with traditional RPGs. Prior to this, I had only ever finished Super Mario RPG and never got far in any other RPG due to becoming bored with them so quickly. I just had no patience or interest in all the talking, downtime, grinding, random battles, etc.
Thanks for everything TWEWY, maybe some day we'll get that sequel.

One of the worst games I ever played. Main character was a douche and I just randomly scribbled on the touchscreen and won every battle til the point I decided it wasn't worth my time.
Some of that would look really silly in motion. It'd be a nice touch for a game focused on fashion, though.
Definitely one of my favorite RPGs of all time. It's amazing how all of the game's distinct elements are symbiotic, working so well together. A lot of novel ideas that work out, too. The characters, the story, the visuals, the music... it's all exemplary. Once you get a hang of it, the battle system is pretty cool, too.
The pin designs are fantastic:
It's great how TWEWY also stands out for having actual character arcs and depth, instead of being superficial "what you see is what you get," like in a lot of other games.
worst take
watch as a character develops from douche to not a douche.
Yeah they really missed the boat with both the 3DS and Wii U being perfect for the sequel. The two screen format was a bit clunky though imo. I can see a single screen attempt working just as good if not better with the right creative team behind it
TWEWY is one of my favorite games of all time. It was revolutionary when it came out and still is today. The battle system (on the DS version, we don't talk about the mobile version) is my favorite part of it just because of how well it works, even though at first glance it sounds and looks like a complete clusterfuck. The music, story, and characters are all excellent. The art style is really great, especially how it's integrated with all the 2D layering to make the locations look great, especially on the DS.
If you haven't played it yet, hunt down a copy of the DS version. Don't bother with the mobile version. It looks pretty and all, but I can't recommend it with the Battle system being changed to something fairly lame by comparison.
It's also one of the few games I can go back to and look at and say "Yep, that game definitely benefitted from a touch screen and wouldn't have worked without one."
I'm like 80% sure that "Next 7 days" thing was a sequel that was silently canned. I honestly think SE doesn't care and just though "Let's throw them a bone by putting the characters in Kingdom Hearts so they shut up for the next 20 years." The thing is if they were to do a sequel on this day and age (maybe on Switch), while it wouldn't have dual screens, I'm sure they could come up with something for a unique battle system. Hint: The Joycons can be treated as separate controllers.
Me too.
I'm glad someone at SE cares, but it also makes me incredibly sad the rest of the company obviously does not care.

One of my favourite games of all time. Spent 150 hours in collecting nearly all the pins. The only ones i was missing was the Tetsuya Namuro one and other 3 I can't remember.
Love the characters, the story, the writing, the combat, the design, the pins design, enemy design, the soundtrack............ basically everything was perfect.

Nah, a character needs some likable qualities mixed in to actually want him to overcome his bad ones. He was just unlikable to the point I didn't care about any change.

This is my favorite video game. I won't ever forget that fucking countdown for a mobile port
So much this.
Now Jupiter is a pure picross maker.
good luck defeating the pigs like that lol
This game is so good, it's criminal. I immediately think of TWEWY when I think about the title that used the hardware to its full capacity - the flow of combat in this game feels unparalleled by any other game on the console, and certainly many other RPGs. I gotta pick up a copy again soon!

Wow, already a decade since I played one of the greatest games every made. TWEWY 2 is the next white whale after KH3 and Versus 13.
For all the hate the iOS version got, I think it's really good! You don't have to mess around with the DS functions like mingling and the art and OST is improved. Of course the gameplay takes a hit, but anyone who thought the DS gameplay was overwhelming will find the iOS version to be perfect.

Track down a DS copy. I have no idea if it's still playable on the latest version of Android, but regardless the DS version is the one you want to play. The mobile version really gimped the battle system, despite looking pretty and having the full music tracks.

Second favorite game of all time, love Solo remix too despite the haters (That countdown was ice cold though).
It was really cool how they kept doing remix cds years after the game came out, a lot of them are amazing.
If they ever do a sequel, I'll treat it like I'm treating FLCL2: It's great that they're making one, but I don't think they can channel what made the first one great after all of this time.

Solo remix is worth a try for high quality visual + sound alone.
Pretty much how I feel about it.
TWEWY is an amazing game that we're very unlikely to see ever get a sequel for.
Everytime I see this avatar, I'm prepared for the most dumbshit post of the day. This didn't disappoint.

Definitely. It looks fantastic on an iPad.

I stand by Solo remix being a perfectly acceptable way to experience the game. I would be all over it if they tested the waters for a sequel with a 3DS/Switch port. Maintain Solo's presentation for both, 3DS maintains old battle system, Switch uses single screen one.
They already had a cameo in Kingdom Hearts DDD.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Yeah, loved that system---was excited to see it in Kid Icarus Uprising as well.
I disagree with that. It works wonders with the main theme of the game.

My favorite game on NDS. It is incredible ten years have passed already.
Neku had actual character progression, and to ne honest: he had every right to be the way he was. Dude went trough some shit.
@Topic:
TWEWY still is my favorite singular game of all time. It took me by surprise when I played it, and I'm still sad that I didn't knew about the game when it mattered.
I really wish SE would greenlight that sequel they teased.
Ah, and no more countdown websites!

This game is so good. Absolutely one of the best DS games, if not the best. Art, music, story, characters, and gameplay... Everything was completely on point.
Joshua is probably my favorite character from this game, such an interesting guy.
