Excellent

 

[Zalman]

Is this new character artwork? I don't recall seeing these before.

 

[ttocs]

Oh, nice! That's going to be awesome to read on the iPhone.

New art

 

[V_Ben]

Awesome, I get to find out the story before trying out virtue's last reward.

 

[Flandy]

I'll finally be able to play VLR

Page is broken

 

[-Horizon-]

If you can't buy the DS game, this will be the next best thing.

Spoiler

Try to get the DS game though if you can

 

[sssstententen]

In before we get someone posting about how the game is "ruined" without the dual screens.

Can't wait to replay through again, even sans puzzles.

 

[Zeeman]

How exactly is this going to work? Like a choose your own adventure?

e: Site's back up, I see now. I feel like the actual puzzles added a lot of tension to the game.

 

[JustProgress]

Yessssssss

 

[fardeenah]

just played 999 on pc, tyhe ios version loss its appeal to me

 

[Thoraxes]

Will dip for sure.

Thanks for admitting to piracy.

Whatever happened to the iOS version of 999 that was supposed to launch Q4 2013? Did it get cancelled in favor of this? I hear great things about the games, and I have VLR thanks to PS+, but I wanted to play 999 (no DS).

This is that.

[Shiggy]

The story just went way over the top in the end. Not a fan of these Japanese stories which drift too much into science fiction at some point.

 

[The Wizard]

Thinking about playing this to refresh my memory beforing diving into VLR. Hopefully good sales of this port encourage production of a third game in the series.

Yeah, I don't really give a shit about that at this point. Been waiting on this to get to VLR and I'm not buying a DS/3DS/etc for one game.

This is that version. Just late.

 

[Flandy]

But there isn't a PC version

 

[-Winnie-]

Hopefully this gets some success so that they can fund that third game.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Day 1. Even though I've played through it countless times.

Isn't this what Japan got too? The game minus the puzzles which basically leaves just the story?

 

[mankoto]

I guess there isn't an android version? I probably wouldn't touch it because it doesn't have the puzzles. But I'd buy to support Aksys in their effort to bring more VNs.

 

[Namikaze]

So hyped! Just bought Banshees Last Cry a while ago and loving it. Will be in for this day one, even though I have the DS version. Keep em coming.

 

[DigiMish]

Would have bought if it was the game, not a visual novel.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Awesome! They're funding the VLR sequel with this project. I just know it!

 

[Shiggy]

You shouldn't avoid it for the lack of puzzles. Those weren't even that noteworthy.

 

[Ashok]

Edited: Nvm.

 

[meltingparappa]

No price no sale.


Because... it's not available to purchase yet.

What was the Japanese price?

 

[Palette Swap]

So hyped! Just bought Banshees Last Cry a while ago and loving it. Will be in for this day one, even though I have the DS version. Keep em coming.

Yeah, I'm in that boat. I love VNs, BLC was awesome and even though I completed 999 on DS, I'll give this a try. I didn't particularly like the puzzles in 999 so I won't mind the pure novel format.

Plus, anything to send sugnals that there's a market for the genre, on all platforms.


Edit: not to bitch, but Aksys, couldn't you have chosen another date? It releases 1 day apart from SMT iOS, right in the middle of a very busy month. I have an intuition the audiences for this, SMT, Dark Souls 2 and FFX/X-2 intersect quite a bit.

 

[Flandy]

Is there any chance at an Android version? Would rather play this on my tablet

 

[mankoto]

I played it before on my DS. It just feels "incomplete" without them.

 

[Flightmare]

It's 5$

 

[Kinyou]

Will it really make sense to buy this version? I imagine the puzzles were at least somewhat important in the original game?

 

[The Kid]

I have 999 for DS (to play on my 3dsxl). However I haven't started it and my video game playing time is limited due to work and stuff. Does 999 on iOS save significantly more time and do I miss anything story related? I can live without the puzzles, really just want the story so I can play the sequel.

 

[redhood56]

Time to see how they made this on ios! Buying day 1!

 

[adamantypants]

Thanks for reminding me I have the game lol. I should probably just play it now

 

[Slowdive]

Yes! Will buy.

Play the DS version of 999 over this one. It is a much better experience.

the game will work w/o the puzzles, it just won't have that much on an impact though.

 

[ramoisdead]

An awesome opportunity for those with a Vita and iOS device at hand to get the backstory about the Zero Escape saga. Will buy this to show support for a Zero Escape 3.

I'll pick it up to relive the story in a new way.

 

[Jacksonlee]

ooo.. irepfer the old art to this one;

how will it look visually?

 

[entremet]

Snip

Snip

What are you doing lol?

Read the TOS.

 

[Muzy72]

I just bought the DS version damn it. Would have preferred to play on iOS :<

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I dont have a DS but I do have VLR thanks to PSN+. Picking this up jsut so I can finally play VLR.

 

[entremet]

DS version is superior. Stick with it. It will make sense after you finish the game.

Plus the DS version has puzzles. This one does not. It's all story.

 

[ramoisdead]

You still bought the superior version. Don't worry about it.

But you already made the right choice D:
