You made the right choice.

Lololol.
Yes. Remixed tracks are the only thing you'll be missing out on unless I'm missing something.

How do these hype train things usually go? People got their hopes up that the countdown was for what they wanted it to be (an actual sequel on a dedicated gaming device), despite the indications that it wasn't the case (the absence of a CERO logo).

It's raw meat. There doesn't have to be a reason. When flesh is exposed on GAF, the animals go nuts in their cages. They'll all be gushing tomorrow. Every one of these jaded fucks will still throw their money at SE as they bend over and grab their ankles. Today they scream, tomorrow they squeal.

See, I'd believe these industry sources you seem to be privileged to know, but your post wasn't made on twitter so it can't possibly be true!

The problem is it's not TWEWY 2.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
To be honest, as someone that was (a bit) late to the TWEWY party, the game it self looks like a clusterfuck of fucks before you really start playing it.
Not sure if being more cluttered on one screen is worse than trying to watch 2 screens at once. I tended to ignore the top screen to be honest on most of my playthrough on the DS... so yeah.
..but the lack of stylus level control... scares me.

Because TWEWY has a really solid, though small, fanbase that simply loved the title when it was released on DS some years ago. Since Square Enix didn't do anything with the franchise for such a long time, people thought it would have been a stand-alone game, and that's it. But TWEWY characters in KH3D and Nomura's words (and later on, the countdown) raised all fans' expectations, who wanted to see a proper sequel on 3DS. Now, we have an iOS porting that looks terrible and downgraded with an insane price and no one really wants. That's why people hating it

I always thought the style of the sprites was supposed to help the game overall.
I guess I was wrong.
This post is... uh...
woah
What are you talking about? You can't tweetify Shibuya in the original version, nor does the NDS version have awesome new sprites.
Not really even that, really. The problem is that it's not anything new that would even be of remote interest to anyone that already played the game on DS, which is the only audience that would be excited by the countdown.
And then that guy on twitter goes "Don't worry, not everything has leaked yet," when, in fact, everything had leaked.

At least it's not a really cheap port, they've put some effort in.

The reaction to this and its price, kind of validates for me that dedicated gaming handhelds won't be going anywhere, anytime soon, if people aren't willing to pay 18-20 dollars for an iOS "Remix" of one of the greatest DS games of all-time. It could be amazing for all we know.
Hopefully it is, I no longer own a DS, and won't be getting a 3DS anytime soon.

We're almost at 1000 dislikes now! Come on people, let's get TWEWY canned! Fuck Square-Enix!
I like angry Duckroll more than happy Duckroll now. =(
It looks like a port without any real effort behind it, that's all there is to say really.
When you present a 7 day countdown to your fanbase, the fanbase obviously won't be happy when the only announcement that comes out of it is a port that's not only on an unpopular plattform (among "hardcore gamers") but also lacks meaningful new content.
The only real "addition" to the game is the revamped battle system which just shoehorns the partner into Neku's battle field. They could at least have tried to accomplish something new, but they went the lazy route.
There's no reason for any TWEWY fan to look forward to the new edition. Well, I guess there's one reason if you happen to like the new graphic filters.
Personally, I was okay with the thought of an iOS port, but I'm still disappointed by the apparent quality of it.

He ain't happy
omg, what a track!
It'll still be in the iOS game, though
It even has all the new stuff from the album, and without the compression!

That's actually even worse. It means they drew new sprites then plastered them with horrific filters to hide the stuff they clearly didn't redraw, like the speakers or some of the special effects.
This is just Duckroll's method of coping with disappointment.

If the whole release/countdown thing wasn't insult enough, I just checked the App Store here in JP, there's no LITE or demo version to actually see what the game is like before purchasing it. Probably typical for SE iOS releases, but good lord are you just going to drop 2000 yen based on screenshots? lol
I heard when the Youtube trailer hits 1000 dislikes, S-E will cancel all future plans for this franchise. Keep it up people, you can do it!
Mission accomplished, and not even an hour later.

You're still getting the better end of the deal by having the more interesting battle system.

I want your copy, then
But seriously, those graphics are not worth sacrificing the original experience, but to each hs own I guess.
I also just noticed I use "But" alot!

duckroll actually understands how Square Enix operates and, like all people who do, expected iOS from day one.
I talked to him when the teaser went up. I know for sure!

As I and many others have said, SE is not in the business of giving you the things you want.

Indeed.
That's the point: the countdown was aimed at reaching the fanbase, but the fanbase doesn't care about: a. a porting; b. on iOS. I imagine Square Enix thinkinh we would have been really happy to see TWEWY again, lol
