Wow, did 999 on the DS sell THAT badly?

Thoughts?

3DS isn't region free which is an even bigger bummer as the series started there.

Well, it's Chunsofts funeral not mine.

Japanese devs are closing themselves in more and more and are getting less and less sales. It's a sad trend but not my problem.

Yeah, I know. Bummer mang. :( I didn't want to point fingers, so I was vague about which handheld was region free on purpose, but it's true it's a bigger bummer if one was a fan of the series.

Although, I should point out 999 was not on the 3DS, it was on DS. Technically, this would be a whole new generational sequel new to both 3DS and Vita. But yeah, as far as Nintendo fans, I feel you.

I study Japanese so, that's not a problem for me. I do know quite a few importers who don't and import adventures games though. There are usually summaries and the like posted online. It's better then not playing a game at all to some people.

999 was a great game, but I Think it's pretty overrated. The story was good, but I figured out who the killer (of people who had numbers) was before I even got the ending where I found it out. Some puzzles were cool, but they weren't that great.

Noooooo!:cry: It probably wouldn't be that surprising if 999 didn't do well here. Then again they might be saying this because they want to reveal it later.

So Aksys has no plans to localize the sequel to the game that actually did far better in the States than it did in Japan. Just like how Atlus said they wouldn't localize Catherine and never did, right guys?

Will the Japanese version have English subs though (or text if not using voice acting)? If not and you can't speak Japanese I don't see why it would matter if the Vita is region free for this game.

Well that sucks. Hopefully Atlus or Level5 can pick up the the localization rights. Also did anyone check out the promo? Nice that they're using animated cutscenes http://vividnecromancer.tumblr.com/post/14226766378/currentlyunknown-good-people-die-promo-anime

Meh, can just import it on the Vita, pretty sure almost all owners of the Vita will know Japanese anyway.

I don't think you guys noticed what I posted. Company saying they have no plans to localize a game ≠ they won't ever localize it. Companies do this charade all the time.

Eh no,

[spoiler] I meant I just figured out that Ace was killing people in the group. I mean I knew something was up with June and Santa, bad there really was no way to figure it out. Like I said, I thought it was great, just not amazing. The puzzles certainly could've been better, thats' really my main complaint. [/spoiler]

Because gamers often import games from japan and play them without understanding any japanese. They enjoy them too.

I know that but if this one is anything like the first, the gameplay isn't the draw to factor in the game, it's very minimal. Without understanding the story that left you with a few fairly easy puzzles.

Luckily I can get by with kanji katakan/hiragana just fine. The DS had some translation groups for some games so it's always possible they will translate this game if there are enough fans wanting it.

While it's not set in stone that it isn't coming, I doubt this game is going to have too many people up in arms over a localization.
