Zero Escape 3 is "Zero Time Dilemma"; Logo and Key Art Revealed

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why digital only in Europe? pls tell me this is a nightmare and i'm just about to wake up... :(

They don't have a division in Europe, so it would really be up to NIS America to publish it, but if Aksys want 100% of the profits then, that's probably why. Just import it, that's what I'll be doing.

If another publisher isn't taking the reins for Europe and Aksys is doing it, that's probably why it's digital only there.

I just realised it's slightly unfortunate that you can't sell this game to someone who doesn't know about the franchise already without spoiling Virtues's Last Reward.
 
I like the name, can't wait! Persona 4 and Virtue's Last Reward are my favourite and second games. So with this and Persona 5 coming out, Summer 2016 will be a great time.

I'm pretty excited about this one.

One strange thing I noticed. I pre-ordered a copy of the 3DS/Vita version [with the watch] on Amazon.com way back when it was made available, but upon checking the listing today, I noticed that there's a mention that it only ships within the US. I live in Canada, and my order hasn't been cancelled [yet?], I'm just hoping they follow through with it.

I don't believe the watches were even made available here at all, and I passed up on pre-orders where I could have locked in this game at a cheaper price specifically because I had them already pre-ordered on Amazon. :(

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
This game is the perfect swan song for the Vita.

Not sure how they are planning to market this to new players, the plot will make ZERO sense if you haven't played 999 and VLR.

I imagine this is budgeted in a way where they will be profitable with just the expected sales from the fan base.

They'll just market it as a Japanese game. For some reason that always works.

I'm glad I only recently got into the series, so the wait isn't as long for me. I've yet to play VLR.

Thanks for telling. I'm not really willing to double dip just for the box though. Ah well, at least i get to play the game at all :)

Maybe they'll bring 999 to Vita somehow to increase potential sales?

999 remake with dual VA, graphics overhaul, flowchart, puzzles, no telling rules of the puzzle every time you touch a safe etc... Let me dream
 
It's reallly amazing we're going to get this in the end. At some point I resigned myself to never knowing how it would all end. Feels like yesterday that it was announced to be resurrected, but we'll be getting it in little more than half a year. :)

Pretty much.

Sooooo good.

Edit: oh, digital only in Europe? Sigh... I'm just glad we're getting a conclusion, but man would I have loved the physical version. Shame.

Well the title has been known for a while but that logo is pretty snazzy.

Also we finally got the full quality render of Siggy and Diana.

Sigma looks... different. Still, it makes me so happy to see him again. I want to see Akane again now, easily my favorite character.
 
I don't care if it's digital only
much
but I'm excited for this. Only played the other two once, to 100% completion back in the 2013/14 period. Spring 2016 will be dedicated to them again.

they should do a trilogy pack later with all 3 games (999 ported to 3DS or the whole trilogy pack ported to portable NX)
