The World Ends With You: Final Remix Heading to Nintendo Switch This Year

Never played this. It was hard to find a DS copy. Might be time to give it a go.

Buying this so hard.

This was the best announcement and I have to believe that if this sells well enough SE will do a second part at long last.

Nintendo direct was trash. That's it.

Darks souls remaster - No one cares
Wii U ports of Donkey kong and Zelda Hyrule warriors - LOL More wii u and 3ds ports

Pokken DLC - Okay
Mario Tennis Aces - Okay that's cool.
The world end with you - Okay that's cool. Good game on the Original DS. But the game should be on the 3ds also.

LOL Nintendo fans are desperate for games. Let's the drought begins.
Remember Indies dont sell consoles lol

@therealgamer thats just your opinion some people might have missed out on these games or want to play these games portable. I think it was a good direct mini.

@BenAV I played TWEWY on an iPhone, and it's still my favourite game of all time (rivalled perhaps only by Zelda: BotW). The single-screen remix with touch controls worked brilliantly - plus it looked so much crisper than the DS version. Not sure how it'll work when the Switch is in the dock - I'm guessing the joycons will be pointers.

If anybody hasn't played this before, you're in for a treat. Worth it for the soundtrack alone, let alone the unique gameplay, art and story.

My all-time favorite DS game on Switch with a new story scenario?

Yes please. Day 1 purchase.

If it is anything like the mobile versions we'll also have the full versions of the songs to listen to in-game, including the Kingdom Hearts 3D remixes.

@therealgamer well, it's a good thing i missed out on those two on Wii U. now i can get switch versions. and play on the Go,

Day one

@therealgamer you think people don’t want portable dark souls? 😂

@therealgamer They're already selling consoles just fine...

@faint No they don't

Can't wait for this! What are we missing from the 2nd screen, though? I barely know anything about it but my friend loves it to death.

@therealgamer - Shame you would say that, cause Indies are dominating a major front. And event ports are pulling their weight (Disgaea and Xenoverse).

@turntSNACO So what? Sales does not mean Nothing

Did not expect this. YAAAAASSSS

@Paraka Wii U have a lot of Indies and do you buy them?

I hope it sells well and we'll get a sequel. I started my second playthrough couple of months ago but stopped quite early thanks to other games taking my time. Switch version should be even better way to re-experience it.

@therealgamer - First off, selling is number 1 of priorities in industry. Secondly, there was minimal Wii U indie scene for what it was worth.

But good troll bro. Tell me how 10 million units in 9 months is nothing. I'm certain I'll take your word.

@Paraka Okay the Switch is selling. But where is the games? Where is new games? Most of them are all ports that I already play on the Wii U, PC and even the XB1 and PS4. Does not matter the switch is selling there is really no games on that system beside Nintendo first part games

@therealgamer "Indies dont sell consoles lol" - That's why we're talking about sales

Interested to know the price. "Final mix" versions of Square Enix games typically have really nice extra content.

@therealgamer There, there, there...here's one...oh look, there's another...another...and another...

@therealgamer hahahahaha ok bud. Continue to live in your dream world

@therealgamer - okay so what is selling the system? What is selling the ports?

YesYesYes!

Absolutely loved the DS one!

The iOS one, played on my ipad and played well but over time my thumb developed friction with the screen and swipes became difficult. I hope the new control option will alleviate that problem.

Or may see if there is a compatible stylus.

@Paraka Zelda botw and Mario. That's it

Always had this on my to-play-list but I couldn‘t find a copy of the DS original for the right price so this announcement is very welcome. Very welcome, indeed.

@therealgamer - So Zelda and Mario can sell not only 10 million Switches, but also sell Disgaea 5 to a point of entirely eclipsing the PS4 sales AND Xenoverse 2 to reach 500k units sold?

That's impressive how one game can sell the other. Tell me more about your fascinating marketing world you know so well.

@therealgamer pretty sure Splatoon 2 sold a ton of switches in Japan lol. I personally picked mine up for fire emblem,Platinum and atlus games. Everything else is a bonus. 😏

@therealgamer Dude, just because there is no game for you does not mean there's no game for others... My switch game collection is tiny but it still got nine physical games and 5 indies. And I'm having a blast with my switch!
The device just came out last March. Considering finishing one game each month, I think it has enough game selections for many of us.

@Paraka dbx switch version also seems to have outsold the Xbox one version

I'll give it a shot given it isn't too expensive.

Sweet heavens yes. This is a game I would easily buy on every console/device I own...except mobile. Not a phone gamer.

It's based on the iOS release so that explains why no 3ds release. I'm looking forward to playing this iteration to death.

@therealgamer I feel your disappointment brother, but calling the '"mini direct"' trash is a little harsh imo. Everyone overhyped this direct and it was only a mini direct which means we will see something more in April or May before e3. Big stuff is coming I think. But yeah, this mini direct is disappointing imo. But The world ends with you and the new Mario tennis looks bomb. I played the DS version and it was my favorite game on the system.

Never played this before. Definitely Interested.

Never played this game before.

Time to remedy that!

I love to see how they would handle the one screen with this, the original required two screens and both hands and eyes so one would be interesting to see.

I always wanted to play this but could never find it in stores. Now I will finally be able to play it!

@therealgamer Listen to him guys, he's The Real Gamer apparently.

@therealgamer The Wii U sold next to nothing so ports are fine as the majority of people won't have played these games. It wasn't a bad direct, 2 or 3 games I will buy, and with Bayonetta next month, I have a fair bit of content to work my way through.

Finished it once, looks like I’ll be doing it yet again!

Ugh, Continue playing on ds or wait for Final remix?

I'll finally get a chance to try this!

I liked it on the DS. Some people say it is the best RPG on the DS. I thought it was just a Rythm Game. I'm wondering about the second screen.

How is this game going to work without two screens??

The World Ends With You was one of my favorite games of the past decade. There's just nothing out there like it. I still have my DS copy and wonder how this will play without the stylus and touch screen. Curious about the logistics like that as well as price (how much was it on the ipad?) and release date. Extremely likely purchase from me though! If you've never played it...be VERY hyped!!!

@therealgamer You may as well just stop now, bro. You're sounding dumber by the minute. Also...learn to write comprehensive English.

Played the original TWEWY DS, bought the iOS version..... Now I'm definately getting the Switch version, I Love this game! Also excited for the new story in the game

@invictus4000 the iOS version was $20 and some mechanics were changed to support one screen, it's still a really good game

I loved this game on the ds , and glad to see it coming to the switch.Not sure what Nintendo did to improve their relationship with Square enix , but so far I'm getting excited each time something is announced for the switch that's fro that company.

Still please port KH , FF tactics , FF and bravely default or just do a sequel on the switch.

@therealgamer Are you kidding me? It’s literally for the first few months during the industry’s offseason.Nintendo usually has another direct in March or April and then E3 in June. There is plenty of time to announce more stuff before the holiday season. You honestly sound a little entitled dude. Just chill, there will be more soon.

Must have this. I wish we had a date.😞

One of my favorite games of all time? Count me in.

@therealgamer No one cares about Dark Souls? Really? You better tell them before it's too late, because they're also bringing this to Xbone, PS4 and PC. That's a big rollout for a game that no one cares about.

Totally buying TWEWY again. It'a one of the rare games that I completed. I traded it in and regretted it immediately. I also think my teen daughter will love it.

I wish I could heart this 50x over. The World Ends with You is one of my favorite rpgs and favorite games of all time. Even though it's a port, the fact that there's new story content will definitely push me to get a Switch this year. #NoBrakesOnTheHypeTrain

I see all the Switch hating fanboys coming out of the woodwork now, salty as ever and attacking on all fronts.

Switch is quickly amassing a collection of all the top rated games of the last decade. All on one convenient tribrid console.

My brother says this is one of the greatest games of all time, a true masterpiece. He was begging to see it on Switch. I can't believe it actually got announced though! There's sooo many games out there, and yet somehow they picked this one to bring.

@Aurumonado judging by the trailer, the characters will fight on one screen now. The input methods were separate from the start anyway - and I have a much easier time imagining them on Switch with its touchscreen AND buttons than on mobile phones. In docked mode, I reckon it'll be motion controls for RJC.

Square-Enix releases a lot of games (back catalogue mostly) on mobile. The 2 main problems are: a) prices are quite premium for mobile standards. b) they barely update or support them after launch for a long time. Final Fantasy IX cost 23 euro. TWEWY: Solo Remix was quite expensive at launch but i waited for xmas discount and bought it for like 10 euro. I'm afraid they will charge 30 euro or more for the Switch version which is too much for a port of a 10 y.o DS game. Hope i'm wrong.

I missed this on the DS and never got the iOS version due to poor reviews. So I'm excited to finally get to play this game on the Switch. I wonder though, if it'll get a physical release (maybe even a special edition) or if it'll be eShop-only?

I hope this gets a physical release! Day one if so. 😁

@therealgamer you’re a sad man. I was one of the many excited fans out there, for more than one game

Completed the original when it came out years ago and I remember saying, "How the hell did I do this?" It was confusing. But I did like the game- cool story.

so theres no mention of using the switch pro controller...

I wrecked my DS touch screen playing this back in the day. Awesome game!

I had some friends who liked the original a lot back in the day, I will probably pick this up now.

Sounds like the definitive edition I've been waiting over a decade for! This game was up there with Secret of Mana as a game that I felt had a ton of style, but a few frustrating gameplay choices or hiccups damped the experience too much for me to enjoy...wow, and both of those games are getting enhanced remakes in the same year! This really is an exciting time to be a gamer!

Nice! The Switch is definitely on my wishlist now.

@thesilverbrick Story is so great you'll cry i could not stop playing it on iPhone but the port was buggy and with lots of problems , i will gladly re buy it on switch

@Vergilxx3 Thanks for the recommendation. I look forward to trying it out.

If Square Enix sees that we’re buying their games then maybe... just maybe..... we’ll get Kingdom Hearts on the Switch! That’s why I’ll be buying this. Lol

played this on the iphone. really loved the game, but since it is really time-intensive and getting the right badges is a bit grindy i dont want to play it again – will pass. if you haven't played it however, i encourage you to give it a try!

@JasmineDragon well you know how it is. Everyone magically forgets those ports/remasters that go to the twins and the end result is somehow Nintendo is getting games “nobody” wants (even though sales figures for such games clearly state otherwise). After all, they are the “only” gamers on the planet.

I had my first real life discussion with a mainstream fanboy like that yesterday and the willful denial and inability to make a logical argument was dismaying... and mind blowing.

I tried this game on DS once, the battle system was very unintuitive to me. Hard to focus on hitting buttons on rhythm while also trying to figure out the stylus controls. The art style looks brilliant though, and I hear the story is amazing. If I'm able to try the Switch version's controls I will be happy to give it another go.

@DarthFoxMcCloud This game will be available both in stores and at the Switch's eShop.

If Nintendo and Square Enix were to bring the special limited edition, be sure to fatten up your wallet immediately!
