First and foremost, Zero Escape 3, for you fans out there! http://nintendoevery...fied-platforms/

 

Seems like it's coming to 3DS and Vita, but it won't be here for at least a year so I personally have a while to catch up on the series. dang backlog

 

on a side note, aksys is releasing more 3DS and Wii U eShop games

 

but yeah, ZE3. how hype are you? :P

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

 

(I am way too freakin' hyped. It's ABOUT time. I know the director said that it was hard to drum up interest for it, but I'm so glad the series will finally get its conclusion. It's only been several years since Virtue's Last Reward, so I'm hoping the wait was worth it.)

Glad to hear it XD It seems they're really hoping the fans are going to carry this game, so hopefully it pans out and it sells well! I'll do my best to play the rest in time for this one so I can buy this one and support, but you hardcore fans need to somehow convince people to buy it I guess XD the article I linked to just really made it sound like this can't happen without the fan's support and that if it releases and does poorly they'll probably never have another game like it again :(

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

 

Are you kidding me?! I was looking up new info on the hiatus of ZE3 just last week (apparently it got number 1 on some ranking site for games people wanted to see, above things like Persona 5, hot damn) and I had heard there was some kind of teaser on the aksys site that looked ZE3 related, but nothing had been confirmed yet. I'm so glad the fanbase pulled through with all the campaigns, the ZE series has always had its sleeper success from the overseas fanbase (like 70 to 80 percent from what I've seen) and when I heard they weren't making the third yet due to lack of success in japan, I died a bit inside.

 

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.

 

Honestly, I think this game will sell well (at least in the western market) but even if they don't make another, its not as huge of a loss as before (when ZE3 was on hiatus) because the series was envisioned as a trilogy anyway. I have no idea what they're going to do about story for this one though, considering how VLR went O_o.

Yeah playing the first two is definitely helpful to understanding the third one (although ZE1 and ZE2 had many parallels, they were standalone enough that you could kinda get away with it, but I doubt that for ZE3). What's your backlog right now XD? All the games I want (now adding this one to the list) are out next year unfortunately, so I've been sticking to the PC release of Valkyria Chronicles as of now and really liking it.

well I have a huge backlog in general haha, it's nothing I could list, I've pretty much got at least a few if not several games for each system that I already own and need to be finished or played, and then I've got a ton of games I don't have yet that I need to play, so probably I think I'd need to beat about 7-8 games before I could justify buying and starting yet another a new game on my backlog of games I've yet to buy and start lol (I'd probably start with 999 and go from there) XP

It's not like I've been on "Operation Blue Bird", the fan group showing support for the Zero Escape series, since they announced that they couldn't get Zero Escape 3 off the ground due to lack of in-Japan interest.

All of them.  And whatever special edition exists.  And whatever watch they're selling this time (I am actually quite proud that I own one of the 999 pre-order...despite it having zero ability to tell time and loses about 2 minutes a day...and that I paid about ~100 for it).

 

Why?  Did someone else want one?

Well screw you Amazon.  Failed to e-mail me and everything.

 

Edit - Well, that's why.  I forgot Aksys hates non-USA and ignores their very existence.  If memory serves, this is why I had to get VLR in a store instead...no international shipping apparently. 

 

Edit 2 - And now I wonder what the hell Amazon is doing as a whole.  It lets me ship to Canada for some reason despite that above warning.  Amazon better put more up limited editions or else I will probably be livid with them...

 

Why is it that I seem to be pulling teeth every time I deal with them and pre-orders?

that blows, I heard they ran out of the LE but GameStop has it up but I doubt GameStop will help much either here >___>;

 

I could try and pre-order an extra copy for you and then ship it to you, but you won't get it very quickly that way and somehow I feel like you wouldn't be too interested in that offer

 

on a side note

 

www.siliconera.com/2015/07/21/what-japanese-fans-think-of-the-zero-escape-volume-3-announcement/

 

not a fan of their reaction

 

don't like the dislike for 3DS/clear PS bias there

 

and I don't think this is kind of game that would benefit from having a console release, especially on freaking PS3, can we please move on from the PS3 already? >_>;

 

also, the 3DS has a way larger install base than the Vita so if you're complaining about it being on both handhelds, I'd freaking drop the Vita version and get the 3DS one, lol. granted, I think it's good having it on both: they're different hardware systems and people who only have one or the other can both get it, and if you have a preference, boom.

 

in other words, I think whoever said this stuff was kinda dumb *shot*

They wanted a crossover with Danganronpa? Fucking hell man.

 

And this series started on the DS so if anything the fact it's getting a PS Vita release is odd, but I guess the Vita is popular with this VN stuff.

Amazon stocked more and didn't tell me.  I compulsively checked though so I ended up with a copy (3DS and Vita).  Good enough for me.

To be fair, the Vita version of VLR sold about 70% as well as the 3DS version...so it's not exactly a small market they're looking at keeping it on Vita (especially given the small Vita fanbase in comparison to the 3DS fans).  The development costs of a Vita port are pretty expensive...but I would suspect it balances out.

 

Also gives me an excuse to buy both a 3DS and a Vita version now

>lists two platforms

 

uh, so two copies? :P

 

yeah it's not that the Vita version is bad or that I don't appreciate it or think it's good... I mean, it IS very much the kind of game that Vita owners would typically look forward to, I think. But the series also does have a bit of a history and fanbase on the 3DS. anyway, I'd just find it weird if a console version came, lol. doesn't feel like a console game to me

No doubt that 999 and VLR on 3DS means that is has to come out on 3DS.  I think the thing is that after VLR, you can argue that the series has PS roots too now.  It's not like the 3DS and Vita aren't similar in many regards anyways to how they handle such a game anyways.

(ha)

 

fair

 

the development infrastructure is very different though; even the aspect ratios are different, and one has 2 screens vs. having 1 screen (on that note, as cool as the 3DS can be, I kinda wish they'd make a more standard console since the 3DS being as unique as it is makes it hard for people to dev games, esp. ones that aren't exclusives...)
