And i don't even like this type of music usually.

I remember reading somewhere online that the devs got different artists and musicians from in and around real life Shibuya to perform and record songs for this game, which explains why the soundtrack is the way it is.

My favorite brand is probably JotM but i really don't remember any pins at all AND i really should replay the game.

Funnily enough, I actually found the band of the artist who recorded the vocals for that song.

Get over it, TWEWY was lightning in a bottle. A creative unique experiment and expirience for the Nintendo DS which utilized every feature of the console, had really ingenous gameplay, with a satisfying story that would affect your partner's dual screen play style depending on what week you were in.

It's the FLCL of videogames, an outlier of a passion project which people love a sequel but once we get it, I highly doubt it will have the same team behind it and will try too hard to live off the success of the first by referencing it a lot .
Look at the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, Star Wars after the original trilogy, the FLCL sequels/spin offs.

Can you imagine who's on the bass?

It's Miss TWISTERRRRRRR!

they're decent. But I really hate how it tries to capture the same feeling of FLCL. The randomnes in the original had narrative purpose.
The new one was for the sake of keeping the tone that reminded viewers of the original one.
Also the animation isn't as good. They should have put more of a budget on 6 episodes instead of 12 in my opinion. Episode 5 of flcl proggressive was astoundlingly well animated and experimented a bit. Was more character focused, and was a pretty good episode.

tl;dr I didn't like them for the most part but if you're a fan you might like the callbacks and Pillows music.

To be fair, he pretty much had no choice considering how Joshua and Neku basically put his back up against the wall, like how he couldn’t just bring Shiki back to life due to Joshua’s absence so he had to bullshit an excuse to make her Neku’s Entry Fee.

I've had luck with Mingle, but the fact that it has so many pins that evolve from the same ones means I have to do shutdown and mingle for each one of then individually, since you can't put the same pin type in the deck.

Oh yeah, that sucks. I do like the pins though so I didn’t really mind in the end.

Whatever doesn't kill me.

What were they thinking with this again?

I think this is what killed any chance of a sequel.

How to piss of their entire fanbase?

They wanted to hype up an overpriced mobile port.

There was info going around that a sequel was in development back in 2014-2015 but it go canned. The countdown, ios teaser and TWEWY events/cafe were probably building up to a sequel announcement.

Dasvergeben said TWEWY2 was in development in 2017 and then Final Remix was announced in January

Apple money.

The mobile port flopping probably made them shutdown the sequel at that time.

The mobile port did pretty well actually. Got near the top of the charts on the apple store

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

youtube.com/watch?v=bB2E2kf64sU

Not well enough to give us TWEWY 2.

Would you guys recommend the switch version? Never played the game, and I don't have a ds

CALLING

And then Nomura said Final Remix was the last chance to get a sequel and they sold it for $50 lol

When it got discounted on Amazon to $30 the sales skyrocketed and it was #4 on Amazon

I'm convinced they never had plans for a sequel and the mobile and switch ports were just overpriced cashgrabs

I have just the copypasta for this.
Having played through every variation of TWEWY completely, this is how I would rank them with an incoming wall of text to compare them

DS > Switch Dual Joy-cons > Mobile/Switch Handheld with stylus > Mobile/Switch Handheld without stylus > Switch Solo Joy-con

DS: Most mechanically complex with a high learning curve. Control Neku with the stylus on the touch screen and control partner on the top with buttons. Both characters share a life bar, so you have to be careful. Bunch of systems in play including the light puck (perform successive combos between characters to boost finishers), sync rate (increase puck duration by fighting well, matching trends, eating, etc), and building up fusions stars with the partner character (Collect ESPer cards by choosing the correct combo branches and collect enough to activate fusion attacks). There's a lot to take in, so it's easier to start off focusing on Neku and leaving the partner on Auto at the beginning. Gradually, you'll learn to control both though and you'll have a lot of freedom on forming your own preferred decks.

Every fucking day there's a TWEWY thread on Yea Forums
You guys are based, keep at it lads

Mobile/Switch Handheld: Simplest version of the game, good for beginners and people who couldn't get into the DS version. 100% touch controls. Partner has been turned into a pin with a specific input (tap, slash, or drag) and recharge time. Light puck, sync rate, and fusion stars have been merged into one simple system. Build sync and earn boosts by performing cross combos (alternate attacks between Neku and partner). At 100, 200 and 300% sync, you can perform fusion attacks. The game is easier because the partner cannot be hurt, so you only need to focus on Neku. I feel you're more limited in what decks you can choose because of the cross combo system. For example, Shiki is controlled with taps, so you'll want to use tapping pins to make it easier to alternate hits. I highly recommend getting a capacitive stylusfor better control. I like to combine a stylus with my dominant hand and my index finger from my other hand to perform combos. Like I'll perform slash attacks with the stylus and then tap with my finger to use Shiki.

Switch Solo: Same as touch screen, only control with joy-con. You perform a motion with your hand and then press of button to activate it. This has a higher learning curve than touch because the game does a poor job of explaining the controls. However, once you understand them (look online for some tips), the game becomes a breeze. It's similar to the DS version in that people who complain that it controls poorly just never learned how to do it right. One advantage to the joy-con is that attacking and moving are separate, so mobility is a lot more precise and it becomes a lot easier to dodge attacks. However, I find it much harder to perform cross combos with the joy cons, probably because I can't use my stylus-finger technique here.

Switch 2-player co-op: Control the partner player with a second joy-con. Partner gets 3 pre-set pins with different inputs. Otherwise, they play the same as Neku. Partner is invincible, so the game becomes pretty trivial. Played this mode with my roommate who doesn't play video games much and he enjoyed it. Not much to say other than try it out if you have friends to play with.

Switch 1-player co-op: Control both characters by holding a joy con in each hand. This is the closest you'll get to the DS version. If you haven't gotten good with the single player mod, this will be a struggle. But if you know what you're doing, Ultimate mode will feel like easy mode. Most people will be in between since they're still learning. The partner is both invincible and incredibly strong and you'll be able to pull of cross combos with ease and often times stunlock enemies. And if you wanted to, you could easily beat any enemy by just dodging with Neku and attacking with the partner (but that's no fun). I think this is probably the most fun to play out of any version, but there really is no challenge.

Graphics: Switch > Mobile > DS. Not that graphics matter much in this game.
Music: Switch > Mobile > DS. Switch has the most number of songs in the best quality. There's also the option to switch to the original soundtrack.
Tin Pin: DS > Touch >>>>>>>>>>>>>. Joy-con. Tin Pin Slammer is the best, but playing it with a joy-con is the worst.
Content: Switch has a bonus day you can play through (One day arbitrarily split into 3 parts). IMO, it's not very good. Gameplay-wise, it adds challenges such as enemies multiplying, draining health, etc. Overall, these challenges add nothing because the goal of every one of them ultimately amounts to defeat enemies as fast as possible without getting hurt which is exactly how should already be playing. There are new pins added though, which are pretty fun if you like shooting swords at things. Storywise, it's just sequel bait ending on a cliffhanger. And everything important that happens right at the end was already spoiled during the reveal trailer.

Overall, I think every version of TWEWY is still a good game. If you have easy access to the DS version, I would recommend that first and foremost. It's a unique experience that really can never be replicated anywhere else. If not, then I would recommend the switch version (it basically contains the mobile version). I would recommend starting off on solo joy cons to learn the controls and the switching to co-op as soon as you're comfortable. And then switch to handheld whenever you feel like changing things up or have to play Tin Pin. If you already played the DS version, you can always try out the switch version just to get a different experience while still getting the same story. But don't buy the switch version just for the new content - It's not worth it.

This fucking game...

Oh shit, you’re right. That’s a neat little detail.

Yes, yes, very well copypasta-kun very well indeed.
HOWEVER

The BEST version of this game is actually on PC. Although there is slowdown in some areas and you might need to acquire some extra hardware, this game is 100% playable on an emulator provided you have a graphics tablet of some kind to play it with. Although this is technically just the DS version, playing it on emulator allows you see the game's gorgeous sprite work on the big screen and fast forward through cutscenes and dialogue. Microphone inputs can be mapped to a button for the street jam psych pins as well. There's even an undubbed ROM as well, if you're too much of a weeaboo to hear Japanese characters speaking English in Shibuya, Tokyo. Playing this great game in this way, although unorthodox, in my opinion brings it the closest to perfection.

It is, but it's not as enjoyable as with a tablet. You might be limited in what pins you can use but I'm pretty sure you can beat the game with a mouse and keyboard.

MR. SAKURABA, GET DOWN

I just now realized that those are syringes, what the fuck.

So some post-game grinding tips:

The best place to get food is Herbal Remedies - Shibuya Dept. Store. HP Tablets, Viper Drink, Cordyceps and Curious Mushrooms are all recommended. Also recommended is Mako Sinnergy which can be bought from best girl in the game, Fumiko Nishimura, at Nishimura Drugs - Shibu-Q Heads. Having Hollow Leg is essential of course.

Grinding Shibuya River on Easy on Another Day earns tons of ¥10,000 pins while burning food at the same time. If you increase your default drop level you have an easier time making it larger by scaling back your level.

When you can fight with a drop rate of 40 you can get guaranteed Dark Matter drops from Noise 80 (Reaper Beat) on W1D4. It's recommended to get 9 of these pins, then trade them for 9 bowls of Absolute Shadow Ramen from Shadow Ramen.

To get this store to open on W3D7 and Another Day, you need to choose to not do Reaper Creeper on W3D3. With this special Ramen, you can increase your drop rate further, which helps tremendously in finding rare items like the Darklit Planet pins.

Attached: HEAVY.png (400x170, 88K)

I forgot to mention, you get guaranteed drops of Dark Matter at a rate of 40 by chaining 5 battles with Beat as the last one on Ultimate. You can make this easier by equipping Shiki with threads that increase her fusion stars, and then hitting Beat with a high level fusion attack.

Lightning Rook is your best friend for the final fight. Don’t forget to equip it. Also, Beat’s Fusion revolves around you learning how to set up chains to rack up the most Fusion Stars.

First time DS player here again. Why the fuck do people want a sequel if there is no dual screen combat? It's undermines the theme of the entire fucking game.

Attached: 1506389903751.jpg (500x537, 46K)

Personally, one of the best things about TWEWY was how it used the DS hardware in tandem with its themes to create an all new experience that you can’t get elsewhere. If they were to make a new combat system with that same creative drive and concept with the new hardware on the Switch instead of just copying and pasting the old combat, that would be the best possible bet. Hell, they even hinted at this with Joshua stating how each UG has its own set of rules and mechanics.
But this is Squeenix so there’s next to no chance of that happening.

Attached: neku shrugs.png (172x202, 8K)

I don't even have the non evolved version of that pin. Where can I find neo-classical drakes? I only fought one, I believe.

Was SE really any less shit than today in the late 2000's?

>TWEWY 2 on switch.
>You play as the main character with the left joycon and your partner with the right one (or vice versa.)

You actually get that pin right before the final boss.

The fashion style portrayed in TWEWY is pretty erotic even in the real world. Girls really like "bad guys". But in the case of a young female like Rhyme, I think the eroticism comes from the contrast between the superficiality of her edgy outfit and the naked human body that lies underneath. I'm sorry if I sound like human condition user, but he has some good points even though he's a shameless pervert.

Basically, Rhyme's outfit expresses a lot of personality, it's very bold in its message. It surrounds her in an edgy aura. She looks badass without even saying a word, all because of her clothing.

Instinctively (and consciously too), we are all aware that this is a facade. It's all superficial. Even if she really had the kind of personality that her outfit suggests, her cool aura would be greatly diminished if she was wearing anything else. Her clothes play a crucial role in maintaining that image of a cool girl who does whatever she wants and doesn't give a shit about the rules of society.

As I said before, this is all superficial. Most of her personality is in her clothes. So, by "stripping her of her clothes" (by being aware of the fact that she is naked under her clothes), not only is she degraded to subhuman status like any other human being. She is ALSO stripped of her personality, her values, all she apparently stands for. Her temporary kid tattoos, her hat, her pins, her sweater with an offensive word written on it, her baggy pants, her colorful bracelets, her flashy shoes... Once all of that is taken away, she is just a naked human girl with an embarrassing barely developed body. A sweaty butt crack. Smelly feet. A pathetic bald pussy.

This would be humiliating enough for any human, but it's even worse if her clothing IS her personality. Not only her dignity, but also her ego itself. All of that is taken away the moment she loses her clothes. Under her clothes, she doesn't have flashy colors or edginess. On the contrary, her whole body is boring, soft and flesh-colored. A lame piece of meat, no different from all the others. Her naked body has no personality without clothes. And she herself has forgotten how to show her personality without relying on her clothes to do it for her.

That is the reason why girls who wear overdesigned edgy clothes are hot. You realize that without her clothes she is nothing. When she takes a bath, she is like a completely different person. She can't be "herself" without wearing lots of pins, bracelets and other shit. The very act of visiting her at home feels pervy and voyeuristic because you get to see her true, pathetic, bland appearance, devoid of personality.

Also, the kind of personality they try to project by wearing those clothes is pretty hot anyway, no need to dig deeper into her psychology in order to expose her miserable human condition. But there is a lot to gain by doing it.

Also, it makes you wonder how long she spends every day in front of the mirror, putting on all that crap. It makes her come off as an insecure tryhard, totally the opposite of the carefree personality that she tries to project through her clothes.

Every second you spend with her, you are aware of the fact that she is very concerned with her appearance despite what she might want you to think. This knowledge itself feels perverted, like you are seeing something that she really doesn't want you to see.

If a reaper threatened to kill Rhyme in front of Beat but promised to spare her life if Beat does anything they say, he would accept without a doubt. Even if the reaper's request was for Beat to eat shit directly from Rhyme's asshole, he would do it without thinking twice about it.

Rhyme would try to refuse and beg the reaper to spare her life without making her do that, but she would eventually give up. She would reluctantly drop her pants and shit inside Beat's mouth. And Beat would take it like a champ, not a single feeling of disgusting crossing his mind, because he TRULY loves his sister and is willing to even swallow shit directly from her asshole if it's necessary to save her life. Beat has the power of a brother's love, literally 10 times stronger than the power of friendship.

He would keep loving Rhyme, but after that experience, their relationship would be pretty much ruined. Every time he looked at his cute sister, he would remember the taste of her shit in his mouth. And she wouldn't be able to look at her brother ever again after having the dirtiest part of her body, her asshole, licked clean by him. She'd feel humiliated and her self-esteem would drop below zero.

Is this game good?

Yep. Fight them on Easy to get the pin.

It's absolute kino. Feels like as if SuperGiant Games made a JRPG.

Imagine Rhyme from TWEWY saying cringy shit and embarrassing herself without realizing it. Is there anything more pathetic than a cute, obedient 10 year old preteen loli wearing edgy "radical" clothes (black hat with a skull pin, long-ass sleeves covering her entire hands, baggy pants that leave half her ass exposed and a trashy oversized sweater that conveniently covers her exposed ass crack), drawing graffiti and cursing like a sailor just because she wants to be accepted by her delinquent onii-chan and his skater friends? She is literally dressed like a badass delinquent loli despite not really understanding or sharing any of that edginess and being too young to be angsty. What a tool!

The tool is usually someone who is unwelcome but no one has the balls to tell them to get lost. The tool is always making comments that are out-of-place, out-of-line or just plain stupid. The tool is always trying too hard to fit in, and because of this, never will. Young girls are pathetic tools by nature. Nomura may be a shit game director, but he sure knows how to make realistic characters.

That character is the most pathetic little bitch I've ever seen in fiction. And I love her for it. I want to strip her naked in front her older "friends" and watch her face as she realizes that she never really fit in, that she was just the stupid tag-along kid sister of one of them! Not even old enough to be considered a woman! Humiliating! Cringy!

How does it make you feel that TWEWY will never get a sequel and A New Day is now the ending with Neku dying and losing his happy ending?

Honestly, the only way a TWEWY 2 can possibly be good is if they were to get the original dev team to develop one.

It’s a good thing parallel universes exist, then.

A New Day isn't in a parallel universe. It's a continuation of the original ending of TWEWY.

Then we can just pretend that original DS ending is a parallel universe where everything went alright.

>Together these three pins make the name of the brand
I love shit like this and the MONKEY pins.

Yes.

But it isn't. Neku from the main game is canonically dead and won't be coming back.

That's fucking trash, twewy 2 should have a new group of characters, let Neku have a good life already

If we do get a sequel (we won't) it should open with Neku's burial and just move onto Hype-chan.

You're in Shibuya for a holiday trip to Japan, when suddenly you're killed in a car crash and thrown into the Reaper's game. Assuming you can use any pin like Neku, what set of Psyches will you rely on to clear the week and come back to life?

On that note, what do you think your entry fee would be?

This game is 10+ years old but the character and world design still feels so stylish and current, how did they do it

Probably my little brother and sister. I adore the shit out of them and would pretty much lose it if anything were to happen to them.

Attached: beat and rhyme chilling.jpg (1180x900, 738K)

I think they'd be safe. Something I've noticed with Entry Fees is that they all seem to be something that the Reapers have control over. Like with Beat, his entry fee was Rhyme's memories, but that only worked because Rhyme was also dead. The only time we've seen a person be an entry fee was Shiki, and she was already dead when she was taken as Neku's entry fee.

The art direction really helps. It has a really stylish comicbook-like aesthetic to it that makes it stand out. It’s like Jet Set Radio in that sense.

She’s probably 12, in all honesty.

Really wish they would just stop jerking us around at this point. It’s been 7 years, for God’s sake. Either make a sequel or just say that you won’t.

Can't keep reselling the original game with sequelbait then user

i doubt they had no ideas for a sequel, all that lore about angels in the secret report, and Hanekoma saying that the game would have 'consequences upstairs', seemed to be gearing for a conflict between Joshua and the angels.
seems bizarre to me that we still know nothing about that girl though

They wouldn’t be able to wring more money out of their fans if they were to do that.

Why is TWEWY the only game to actually do the power of friendship right and make it feel genuine?

This really isn't fair to Shiki because that is Eri's body. She's just making Rhyme fall for Eri.

This is why you never ask for sequels. The original DS game was complete and all the loose ends were tied up, nothing more was needed to be said. But the fan base kept begging for an unnecessary sequel and this encouraged Square Enix's greedy cashgrab rereleases and adding cliffhangers to make people rebuy the game.

Because it actually ties into the game’s overall theme and gameplay mechanics. Not only that but you can actually see the positive effects it has on Neku as a character.

It will be. TWEWY is magical because of the platform it was on. Mobile and Switch versions are pretty meh even with the aesthetics.

One of the things I don’t like about the ports is just how slow the combat is compared to the original, especially when it comes to the Cross Combos. The DS version’s combat was insanely innovative and engaging, especially on the higher difficulties, and the combat of the ports just feel limp in comparison.

Yes, and?

Come to think of it, I had a question about this game. It's stated in the secret reports that if you lose a game, you lose your entry fee even if you come back to life. What was Neku's entry fee for his final game, the duel with Joshua, which he lost?

Are there any other games that tie the mechanics and main theme together this well? All I can think of is the resurrection loop from Planescape Torment.

I always thought that it was the bullet in his gun. Either that or Joshua was just fucking with Neku and didn’t take anything at all.

I think DMC3 handles the progression of Dante’s character arc, expansion of his arsenal, and his rivalry with his brother Vergil incredibly well in tandem with the gameplay.

Correct me, so Joshua is the composer, sho try to take him down, neku accidentally got shot from cross fire and Joshua gave him the player pin. am I getting this right?

Actually, you’re almost there.
Joshua purposely shoots Neku to make him a part of the Game and to make him his proxy.

I still need to play that. How is it?

It lets you mess with your moveset and stack the odds against yourself, which makes it really interesting. it kinda plays like a 2D fighter placed in a 3D world, which is something you'll either love or hate.

Because most devs nowadays are focused around “balanced” experiences instead of just making things fun.

I always thought it was his friendship with Joshua.

Honestly despite TWEWY taking place in such a tight space, I think it has a lot in common with the concept of open world games, at least when it comes to player freedom. So instead of going "Alright, I'm heading in this random direction and we'll see what we see" it's "Alright, I'm gonna use this pin setup on this noise symbol that I pick, on this difficulty, with this partner and these threads, with my level reduced by this many levels, and I'll fight this many chains."

I'm rambling but I do feel like the high level of customisation is its own kind of freedom. It's a game about expanding your world, after all.

Attached: Take A Seat.jpg (900x1388, 316K)

And don't forget that Joshua has been watching Neku since Week 1. He was at Hachiko Statue on the first day.

It’s more in terms of how the player’s rise in skill directly correlates with the threats Dante faces along with how Vergil constantly evolves as your rival. Just as you’re getting better, Vergil also comes along with even more powers and tricks up his sleeve and the game does a great job in presenting him as a level above you, like him taking out a boss you previously had trouble with in one hit. His style and combat also paints a good contrast to Dante’s own methods and reflects their characters incredibly well.

I love the amount of freedom there was to be had in the customization. Wanna make a pin set revolving around setting shit on fire? Go for it. Throw exploding cars around? Sure, why not? Full on melee set? Go nuts. You can pretty much set up your moveset in anyway you want and just do whatever. It’s great.

Not to mention that the 3 boss fights with him show how Dante evolves through the game and, more importantly, pose a challenge to the player that is like you're Dante himself facing Vergil.

That’s what I love about DMC3 and TWEWY. They take full advantage of the fact that they are games first and foremost and create incredibly engaging ludonarrative experiences that you can’t get elsewhere. Plus, they’re just fun as fuck.
