It slowly becomes more and more clear that you need to clear out the “noise” in order to keep progressing in the story and basically stay alive. Your hand is showing a counter and you do not know what is happening. You start off in Shibuya near the Hachiko statue. The World Ends With You: Final Remix starts with you being stuck in some sort of game, that pits you in Tokyo. The further down the game, the more I ignored this, but I still found it important enough to mention it in my review. Either use the Joy-Con in TV mode or use the touchscreen! During my game time, I often did wish I was able to use the buttons just to make the next speech bubble appear. The World Ends With You originally released on Nintendo DS and it is incredibly clear this game is all about touchscreens. With new features in addition to all the content from the Nintendo DS and mobile versions, the definitive version of this modern classic is finally here. Take control of real-time, action-fueled RPG battles using touch controls or Joy-Con™ controllers. Gear up with stat-enhancing threads and collect mysterious pins to unleash psychic abilities in battle. Neku might not be enthusiastic about forging relationships, but with his very life on the line, he’ll need to learn how to work together with a partner-and fast: they only have seven days. In the crowded chaos of Tokyo, players of the Reapers’ Game must complete daily missions or face total erasure. This definitive version of Square Enix’s RPG classic brings the dark story to life on the Nintendo Switch system along with an extra chapter, exclusive two-player combat, and some killer, newly remixed music. Now he and his partner must fight to survive a life-or-death game in this twisted tale with more turns than the urban labyrinth of Tokyo they’re trapped in. That’s all Neku knows after regaining consciousness in the middle of a busy intersection without his memories. The World Ends With You: Final Mix will launch on October 12, 2018.ĭisclosure: USgamer is owned and operated by ReedPop, which also runs the PAX family of shows.Welcome to our review of The World Ends With You: Final Remix.Ĭomplete the mission…or face erasure. Pro support or no Pro support, The World Ends With You will be a solid entry on the Switch, and it even comes with a whole new scenario. The new drop-in co-op functionality is great too, but unfortunately it does make battles feel a little bit trivial now that you have another player at your side controlling Neku's partner. It definitely takes some time to get used to, as with all non-traditional control schemes. Luckily, the Joy Con aiming works quite well. It's solo Joy Con with motion reticle aiming and touch screen or bust. I asked a Nintendo representative if a traditional control scheme with a Pro controller will be supported, to which they confirmed won't be possible. A few days ago, a Korean listing for The World Ends With You: Final Mix elicited some conversation due to its omission of Pro controller support. Its upcoming release on Switch will be no exception.Īt a Nintendo demo event, a Nintendo representative led me through its two control schemes: touch screen with the Switch undocked and most notably its Joy Con-enabled controls, which allow for another player to hop in for co-op (local only, though). It continued onward with its numerous mobile releases too. It started on the Nintendo DS, utilizing the dual touch screen like no other RPG before it. The World Ends With You has always been an RPG with a unique control scheme.
