The World Ends With You to Release in October

Nintendo announced that the Final Remix version of The World Ends With You, will launch on October 12th for the Switch. Alongside the release date Nintendo also unveiled a teaser trailer showcasing some of the best looking games ever made by Square Enix.

The World Ends with You is an action role-playing game with urban fantasy elements developed by Square Enix and Jupiter. Set in the modern-day Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, The World Ends with You features a distinctive art style inspired by Shibuya and its youth culture.

Check this trailer down below:

“In the game, Neku Sakuraba and his allies are forced to participate in a game that will determine their fate. The battle system uses many of the unique features of the Nintendo DS, including combat that takes place on both screens, and attacks performed by certain motions on the touchscreen or by shouting into the microphone. Elements of Japanese youth culture, such as fashion, food, and cell phones, are key aspects of the missions.

The World Ends with You is an action role-playing game, arranged into three chapters based on the three weeks that Neku is involved in the Reaper’s Game, with each chapter further divided by each day of the week. The player controls Neku and his partner as they explore Shibuya to complete each day’s mission. Although most missions require completion within a certain time for Neku and his partner, this timer is not correlated to the passage of time for the player.

The game’s combat system is called the Stride Cross Battle System. The combat takes place across both screens on the DS, with Neku on the touchscreen and his partner on the top screen, representing the different “zones” of the same local area; the two characters battle the same enemies that exist in both “zones” simultaneously. Neku and his partner are synchronized during battle; they share the same health bar so that even if one character does not take any damage, the pair can fail in battle if the other takes too much.”
