Good People Will Die in North America

Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die — the sequel to Chunsoft’s adored 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors — is coming to North America some time before the end of the year, thanks to the awesome folks at Aksys.

The news comes by way of Nintendo Power, which as far as I know only discusses the 3DS version, so I’m unsure if the PS Vita edition will make it out to the States. It’s also uncertain whether Aksys will keep the Good People Die title, but it’s difficult to imagine the publisher coming up with another name as strong as that.

Regardless of all that, I’m thrilled to see another Chunsoft game getting an English localization. More, please!

New screenshots of Good People Die, the new nonary game from Chunsoft’s 999 team, coming to Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita. Nothing too revelatory here — the image of the white-haired girl essentially says, “My name is Phi”.

For some discussion on what’s going on with this title, there’s a forum thread over at Court-Records with plenty of speculation on all those weird numbers that appeared in the trailer, the significance of the characters’ names (the protagonist is named Sigma), and what this “Ambidex edition” of the nonary game will entail.

English-annotated trailer for Good People Die, or Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes, the new 3DS/PS Vita game from the Chunsoft group that worked on 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

If hints from the initial artwork didn’t give it away, this video all but verifies that Good People Die is related to 999, what with mentions of a nonary game, Zero’s cameo, and the similar music. I wonder what this “Ambidex edition” will entail, though?

Art and screens from Good People Die, the new 3DS/PS Vita visual novel from the Chunsoft group that brought you 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

Holy crap, it’s in 3D! And the plot, which centers around nine people who are trapped in a warehouse and are somehow connected to each other, is awfully similar to 999’s. Chunsoft says development on this “game of betrayal” is currently 50 percent complete.

As for whether or not Aksys will bring this Stateside, the official word is that it has “no plans at this time regarding localization,” but a few jokes in the game’s NeoGAF thread from producer Frank deWindt II hint that the company is interested in publishing Good People Die (an awesome title that I fear will be toned down for the U.S.).

999 staff working on new 3DS, Vita game

The Chunsoft team that brought you DS visual novel 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, which was a bit of a cult hit last year, is working on a new adventure title for 3DS and PS Vita, according to a report from Famitsu.

Titled Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes, or Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die (similar to 999’s Japanese title), the project and its scenario is once again helmed by Kotaro Uchikoshi, while Kinu Nishimura will return to handle the character designs.

Several notable voice actors will lend their talents to this fully voiced project, too, including Akio Otsuka, Yukari Tamura, Chiaki Omigawa, and Rie Kugimiya.

I have a feeling 999 sales far exceeded Aksys’ expectations, what with the multiple print runs needed to keep up with demand, so don’t be surprised if the publisher announces this for the States somewhere down the line!

Dramatic reading of a 999 press release, by Aksys Games’ Ben Bateman. Though it would make my workday a lot longer, I am in favor of having more press releases presented to me in this manner. It’s definitely the only time I’ll ever post an unaltered press release on TC.

This is, perhaps, the best use yet (the only use?) of Cozy Fire, the second WiiWare fireplace app.

999 watch bundle back in stock →

If you’re ready to check out Chunsoft’s shockingly well-received DS “sound novel” 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, good news! Aksys is once again offering bundles containing the DS game and a replica of the odd-looking watch featured in the game — which, in real life, is a lot heavier than it looks (it’s pretty much solid die cast metal!). It’s $36.99, and it’ll probably sell out soon. This is the best deal you’re going to get on a game-and-watch-you-could-break-someone’s-jaw-with package.

In other DS deal news, the Dragon Quest Slime Speaker Stand is now down to $20.58 at Amazon, a price at which the accessory is very nearly irresistible. I know because I’m trying to resist it.

Send Chunsoft 999 questions →

I said it before but it bears repeating: pretty much everyone is sleeping on Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

While everyone was paying attention to all the big budget titles that flood the holiday months, this little title has picked up praising review after praising review — just yesterday, Jenni Lada called it “video game greatness”.

From what I’ve heard, this isn’t only one of 2010’s best visual novels but also one of the best DS releases this year. So, do yourself a favor and pick 999 up (it’s included in Amazon’s “Buy One, Get One Half Priced” sale).

Once you’ve played through it a number of times and seen the “true ending”, hit the above link to send Chunsoft a question. Maybe you can ask the developer to work with Aksys again for another localization project when they decide to port 428 to Nintendo 3DS.

999 replica wristwatch now for sale on Aksys’ online shop. Previously available as a GameStop-exclusive online preorder bonus for Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, this timepiece can now be yours for just $4.99.

Sure, it looks like something you’d get with a Burger King kids meal, but it’s modeled after the watches all of the game’s characters’ wear when they wake up on a sinking cruise liner. It’s made of “heavy-duty metal and resilient plastic tubing, with a screen that appears to be solid metal until the button is depressed, displaying the time in bright, red digits” — don’t wear this to an airport!

By the way, everyone is totally sleeping on 999, but initial impressions have been very positive. If you care about review numbers, Nintendo Power awarded it a 9, and Destructoid threw out a perfect 10 for its “phenomenal” story. Chunsoft, by Jove, you’ve done it again!

Halloween-themed 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors wallpaper. Even though we missed this on Halloween, I thought it was worth posting now because

a) This Chunsoft-developed DS adventure game comes out in just over a week, and looks like it could be really interesting.

b) lulz
