The World Ends With You was an awesome game! :D It would have been nice if we got a female protagonist in the sequel like people were suspecting the mysterious girl that the fans dubbed " Hype-chan " would be the protagonist in the sequel but I'm still excited for this! ^ - ^

Neo: The World Ends With You trailer was posted today on the official Square Enix Youtube account, announced for a 2021 release (no month noted) for both the Nintendo Switch and PS4.

TWEWY (Nintendo DS) is one of my favourite games EVER, BY FAR. I have been waiting SOOOO so long to see if this game would ever get a well-deserved sequel. The original came out in 2007, iOS port in 2012 and (I actually completely missed this one) a Switch enhanced port in 2018 named TWEWY: Final Remix. I think the popularity of TWEWY can be considered somewhat of a "cult classic" type of following, though as I had no idea about the Switch enhanced re-release, maybe it's not so much of a cult following anymore!

I cannot BELIEVE this is finally happening & isn't just another fake-out, like what happened with the iOS re-release/port. I'm giddy, stuck with a grin over here. Most hype I have been for a new game in a while. I was linked to a trailer for the TWEWY anime that is coming out next year, via the IGN channel. I was thinking "oh goody! Maybe this will mean they're seriously considering a sequel then, or maybe the renewed interest resulting from the anime release will encourage them to finally get going on that" I did not actually imagine I'd be seeing the sequel game trailer today, too! But lo and behold, here it is.

I'm very curious to see if they implement the "social" XP you could earn for badges like you could in the original, which was earned by street-passing (or whatever the DS equivalent of street pass was at the time) others that had the game. So I think there ended up being some badge evolutions I could never get, because of not being able to earn the social XP, similar to how there are some pokemon that only evolve by trading with others. Also very curious to see how the switch from 2D to 3D like as was shown in the trailer ends up feeling like, if the game is still as charming and addicting as it was. I really liked how the touch screen was utilized for TWEWY, so I hope that "magic" isn't lost in translation.
