Support NeoGAF

E3 is coming. All of us are hyped. A great number of games are being talked about on GAF. The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy XV, Project Beast, Smash Bros, Halo 5, Kingdom Hearts 3 and many more are games that we wait for with bated breath. These are all obvious. Earlier today I was thinking about what surprises this E3 may hold. I eventually thought about the potential sequel to what I consider to be the masterpiece of the Nintendo DS.

The World Ends With You is my favorite Nintendo DS game. I consider it to be special. Its a game that has everything. Great story, amazing character development, likable characters, a soundtrack that rivals persona 3 and 4, gameplay that is challenging fun and original, the game even has a secret ending that is fun and rewarding to unlock, good art, good dialog, You name it and The World Ends With You has it.

The story wraps up well. There isn't any loose ends that would cause a sequel that i'm aware of. I'm not sure if a sequel could even top the first game. All I know is that I would love to go back to that world. The ending of the iOS port suggests a sequel however. This is the image that is shown.

This image implies that a sequel is planned. A team could be working on it right now for all we know. The original came out in Japan almost 7 years ago now. The time is ripe for a sequel. I think that it is possible that we may see a sequel for the 3ds at E3. I haven't seen anyone talking about a sequel reveal at E3, so I thought I would bring it up.

What do you guys think? Do you even want a sequel?

Shiki is best girl

 

[FluxWaveZ]

What the fuck, man...

 

[Ghazi]

It's not happening.

 

[UltraGunner]

This seems like more of a TGS reveal than an E3 reveal.

 

[DNAbro]

I would love a sequel but square enix has been extremely stupid and I don't expect them to announce it.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Was not on my radar, I have no clue what this game is about, I don't play DS games. I hope it impresses though.

 

[Mellahan]

It'll happen. On mobile.

 

[Duxxy3]

I hate to say it, but if that game happens it is going straight to iOS.

 

[butman]

It's not happening.

At all!

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Has TGS written all over it.

...or maybe some Apple event.

 

[CronoShot]

It's mobile or not at all.

Count on it.

 

[UberTag]

It may happen... but if it does it'll be for iOS. Not 3DS or Vita.

 

[todd360]

It'll happen. On mobile.

You take that back! pls Square Enix pls.

 

[Conflict NZ]

This is such a bullshit thread man. Title makes it seem like this has been heavily hinted at/possibly announced.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The World Ends With You Too (or The World Ends With Two), 3DS/Vita game announced at E3 2014.

The World Ends With U, Wii U game announced at E3 2014 Nintendo Digital Event.

One of those. Done.

 

[MilesTeg]

I've been replaying the game on my 3DSXL recently, it's still a very good game. Almost everything about it still holds up. Love the game, but I doubt we ever get a sequel.

 

[Cbajd5]

it's not gonna happen

at least not until they release it on android too

;.;

 

[Edge_Maverick]

It may happen someday, but I bet SE will announce it at TGS/Jump Festa.

E3 is for Dragon Quest VII.

Spoiler

i want to believe

 

[Darksol]

Almost no chance, but I would certainly love it.

 

[Dr. Buni]

It's not happening.

It really isn't. And I think TWEWY is fine as stand alone game, not everything needs a sequel.

 

[Hyunkel6]

TWEWY is among my top 5 DS games. I would love a sequel on 3DS or Vita. Would even be a system seller for the Vita for me. I have been considering a Vita for P4, but a TWEWY sequel would tip me over the fence for sure.

 

[Kieli]

You take that back! pls Square Enix pls.

Let's start a petition to have it as iOS exclusive with microtransactions!

 

[abstract alien]

We might get Mega Man 11 too, from Nintendo! With the Smash style model! It's nice to want things, but it's always torture in the end. Don't expect this...but I will buy the hell out of it if one day it decides to reveal itself.

 

[Tan]

Why do this man

 

[todd360]

It really isn't. And I think TWEWY is fine as stand alone game, not everything needs a sequel.

I agree that it doesn't really need a sequel. I just can't see the first game being topped. Its just that image from the iOS game pretty much screams sequel to me. I think its gonna happen at some point. TGS is probably more likely as a few others mentioned. Its could still be at E3 though. It would be an amazing surprise.

 

[Foffy]

Perhaps we didn't forget, but that we knew it wasn't going to happen?

 

[Nirolak]

Well Square Enix did unveil a few mobile games last year so it's possible.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

How does the iOS version play on the iPhone 5?

I tried the game back on the DS and didn't really feel it, but I would like to try again.

 

[todd360]

[SnakeSlashRO]

Great game. I hope we get more from this series too

 

[thuway]

I hope it comes out on Vita this time. It seems like a good fit.

 

[Frolow]

We might get some localization announcements for the new Ace Attorney game and the Ace Attorney 1/2/3 3DS Collection. The latter one especially since the Japanese version already has a full English translation as an option.

 

[kirby_fox]

I don't think a sequel would be coming.

But maybe a Wii U VC version. It is getting DS games.

 

[todd360]

I would definitely buy it. Once I get a Wii U. Maybe...Probably...at some point.

 

[LX_Theo]

3DS rerelease confirmed

 

[rrs]

Sadly most likely going straight to mobile platforms if it's happening

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Yeaaaah that's not happening. Not the way you'd like, at least.

 

[Trace]

It's not happening.

 

[Mariolee]

Well Square Enix did unveil a few mobile games last year so it's possible.

This physically stings.

 

[PseudoKirby]

NO! its Mario Kart on Xbox One

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It will be mobile and revealed at Japanese event, you know it.

 

[UberTag]

It will be mobile and revealed at Japanese event, you know it.

Can't wait to splurge on some new pins via microtransaction goodness on the App Store.
And be forced to wait anywhere from 8 to 24 hours in between battles.

 

[Shojx]

I really enjoyed the game and personally I'd love to see something else come out of the series, but I don't think we'll see anything at E3 this year.

 

[todd360]

It is now clear to me what we must do. We must destroy all iOS devices. It is time. We are caught in candy crushes clutches and we must fight back.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

How is it just now clear to you.

 

[DXLelouch153]

if Last Guardian is announced then all bets are off and this game has a chance to exist

 

[watershed]

It's not happening.

Pretty much. I'd love to believe a sequel is coming. I would play it on almost any platform at this point. But it's just not gonna happen.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I honestly think Theathyrhythm Curtain Call's method of 3DS/iOS development split is a pretty good way for Square to serve both masters. $40 3DS game with all the content and some degree of DLC, a la carte iOS game with the potential to cost $100+ and maybe some whales will get it.

I think if TWEWY went that route, if it had to go any route within a modern Square-enix market, that would not be the worst one.

 

[sn00zer]

This isnt Sony Crash
