Remember The World Ends with You? In a recent interview with Tetsuya Nomura, he said this about the game: “Now, I still can’t say anything… But, something, perhaps there will be something.” Hope it’s not a social game! [FF-Union]
As Kotaku‘s own Kirk Hamilton pointed out last week, one of the most amazing things in Square Enix’s DS hit, The World Ends With You, was its techno/pop/rap soundtrack. While we aren’t getting a new game in the series anytime soon (if ever), we are getting the next best thing, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
In today’s Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Zombie711 wants Square Enix’s DS masterpiece The World Ends with You to end with itself. In other words, here’s one of the game’s biggest fans explaining why it should never, ever get a sequel. Aww.
Today’s Kotaku pumpkin patch includes the Godfather, Batman, the Spy from Team Fortress 2 and the World Ends With You. Cheers to Chris Wells, Lee Harris, Kevin “ShadesBot” Moore and Chae Wells!
Released last year in the US, The World Ends With You brought action role-playing to the real-world setting of Shibuya reimagined by Square-Enix.
So the other day when I was visiting Xseed, checking out Valhalla Knights 2 and Little King’s Story, I espied this sweet The World Ends With You DS. My photo quality is poor, so the little caption beside it says “It’s A Wonderful World”.
Turns out that Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura gave the TWEWY DS as a.gift to Xseed’s company president, Jun Iwasaki, who was Square’s CEO before he left to found Xseed. Nomura also gave Iwasaki one of those Crisis Core PSPs, but apparently, while Iwasaki decided to keep the TWEWY DS, he gave the PSP to one of his colleagues.
The DS is even more awesome-looking in person; it’s gloss silver, and the logo is nice and shiny.
Phew, yesterday’s Final Fantasy Remix album cover? Man, that was brutal. My eyes still hurt at the mere thought of looking at that! This, this right here is quite nice. Here is the CD cover art for The World Ends with You CD soundtrack, which is also getting an iTunes release. It goes on sale next month.
Side note: Shame that this game didn’t do better.

Sorry for the hold-up! Here’s this week’s Zero Punctuation, which is taking on Square Enix’s DS title The World Ends With You. Totally agree about using the dual screens during the combat. Totally.
