Cute. Real cute. Lol.
I couldn't leave it at the bottom of the page. Thought it looked better fullsize too.
Someone clicking on the thread's gonna have a heart attack.

Damn fucking right. Jesus christ. Wby would you do this to me? I was seriously panicking for a minute. God damn.
A VN is a really good fit for mobile, I wouldn't mind it. The only problem is the payment model, they can't release a 3DS/Vita version for $50 and an iOS/Android version for $5 at the same time and nobody is going to buy if for $50 on mobile. If the game comes to mobile, then it would probably be later down the line with a model where the first chapter is free and you pay to unlock more chapters (like Ghost Trick, Danganronpa, etc.)
Also, PHI-SMASHDLC fits as well, now that would give me a heart attack

I was joking but as long as it's coming to another platform I'm totally fine with it. I really like the ghost trick and ace attorney models of payment.A VN is a really good fit for mobile, I wouldn't mind it.

Yeah, I like that payment model as well and a mobile version would be great imo, VNs work really well on a touchscreen. But they would never ignore 3DS/Vita, that's where most of their fans are
willing to pay $50 upfront.

Well I saw it was the last post on the page and figured if I could get it out, context free at the top of a page that it could do something along those lines, I gotta admit.
It could be on mobile after all.

I wouldnt mind if it comes to mobile/android but only if its 3DS/Vita etc (maybe PC) as well
What if one game Aksys announces is Banshee's Last Cry? That sounds really interesting (been waiting for that for more than a year), though I dont think Uchikoshi is involved with BLC in any way).

I thought that game was released already last year? Or you mean non-mobile version?
I'm pretty sure it'll just be 3DS/Vita and any goofy platforms would be a later PS4/Steam port.
PS4 is probably never gonna happen, they'd have to port the other games as well and, as of now, they're not in an acceptable state. Steam, maybe, you can throw anything there and make a quick buck.
By that theory VLR should have never ended up on Vita though.
PS4 kinda makes sense because of how it's strong in the west yet no one cares about it in Japan, just like Zero Escape!
It looks decent enough on Vita, the high pixel density helps a lot even with 3ds textures. The characters models are fine, though.
If you meant that 999 isn't on Vita, that's not important, it's not required. VLR will be.

Pretty sure I asked this here before ans IIRC someone confirmed that none of these words have any relation to BLC whatsoever.
Moreover, I don't think they would be teasing BLC without releasing the confirmed Android port first (which I am still looking forward to). Also, since the AX plan says "game TBD", I presume it is a wholly new localization or maybe even a completely new game.
This just made all the hype and worry and hope so far worthwhile, I don't care if this is a Philips CDi port of Sakura Spirit, this made my teaser.

AFAIK it was only released on IOS devices. There was supposed to be an android version later but as yet, it hasnt surfaced sadly
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Also, "50 m" is a new piece of scrolling text. ZE3 conference is 50 minutes long? Lol

No, Aksys announced their AX plans and it seems it will take an hour, which means we still don't have the slightest idea about what that means.
Maybe something will happen when the counter reaches 50m...
or maybe the announcement will come 50 minutes into the panel.
Funyarinpa

Wait, have we tried setting our clocks so far back we would see exactly 50 million on the current counter? Maybe that's what 50 m means (even though when abbreviated 50 million is written as 50M).
This will probably yield no result though.
Edit: No result for various reasons.

Guys, I'm in Australia and it's 2.30PM of Saturday. The countdown is NOT at 000006, but it's now counting SECONDS!
I'm at work with my phone, can't post a picture.

Man, imagine if something is going wrong after three months of teasing. I guess they must be pretty stressed too.
On the other hand, it doesn't have to be related to 4infinity, so I'll just keep on hoping that.

Must be related to what they're doing for tourneys and whatnot. Managing those things is stressful and can fall apart easily. That would explain the mental breakdown :S
Oh who am I kidding I just hope it relates to anything besides 4infinity too

yep, just as expected when they changed to days few weeks ago, since it's in the source code already
How'd I miss this? I'm in.

We dont know but that seems unlikely IMO since not many in the West know about Punchline (besides us)
CrimsonFist

It's unlikely to just be a localisation, since they've announced a number of those since the teaser started. Unless it's a really big title, but Punchline still wouldn't fit that.

Having not checked the site or this thread in a while, my heart just sank seeing that lmfao.
well the punchline game is the new work hes been referring to in tweets and interviews. Evidenced by the ps4 comments.
Sure. I'm in. I've been lurking this thread for a while, but haven't posted anything.

Although despite his comments, (Punchline)
the bootstrap paradox does show up in the final episode of Punchline, so would likely feature in the game as well.
I don't think so, for me the game it's not a new work since it's the "same" as the anime. And zero escape 3 could be a ps4/ vita game too.

Something about a Square Enix teaser turning out to be a mobile port of The World Ends With You is rumored to have brought despair to many hopeful TWEWY fans, and the victims remain salty to this day.

Well, TWEWY countdown lasted a week. This one has been nearly 4 months long. 3 months and 3 weeks to be specific.

It was pretty good, and it does make good use of the initial premise, but (possible spoilers for a particular Uchikoshi work)
I really have had enough of Uchikoshi reusing his twists. The whole body switch thing is copied from Remember11. Not to mention the whole fanservice thing.
I'd say this is the most boring Uchikoshi work I've ever seen, and yes I am including Never7.
(PL spoilers)
I didn't find it to be anywhere as good as anything he worked on- The whole fanservice aspect was pretty obnoxious, to be honest- Nothing in Infinity nor Zero Escape made me laugh when they were serious, but I can't bring myself to care about humanity going extinct literally because some spiritual teenager saw a pair of panties. There were too many "...Eh?" moments ranging from Cheeromancy to the panty blessings at the altar in the final episode that didn't make me laugh the way I think they were supposed to. The subversion attempt wasn't all that amazing either, especially if you've read every translated Uchikoshi work. Overall, 6.5/10. I appreciate the effort that they made an anime worthy of 6.5 with a premise that was only worth 3/10.
I only watched the first 3 episodes and thought it was fun, but nothing special. But there have been a few people in this thread who said the show really picks up around episode 6 and turns into something more similar to the Infinity/ZE series. I'll definitely give the show another shot.
There's also a bit more news on how the Punchline game will work over on Gematsu, think it's taken from the recent Famitsu story and another Uchikoshi interview.
Counter starts at 0303, goes on for nearly 4 months, ends with a panel where fans are present that is being live-streamed online, no denial since day 1, RSG/Uchikoshi/Aksys teasing, ...
I feel pretty good about out chances
