Want a limited edition yellow Virtue’s Last Reward watch? Pick up VLR from Aksys’s store right now on 3DS or PS Vita, and you’ll get one.
Now here’s the tricky part: if you don’t have the game, you might not know you want this tie-in item. So now you might have to gamble on buying the game under the assumption you’ll want one of these after playing it. It’s a nonary game-style mindbender!
…again, which you won’t get until you play it.

Virtue’s Last Reward watches on sale for Hurricane Sandy relief. For once, the boobytrapped watch is being used to save lives, not to end them in bloody explosions. Aksys is selling the watches (which come in three random colors) on its website for $20, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross, earmarked for Hurricane Sandy-related efforts.
I still have the t-shirt Aksys sold for Japan tsunami relief. A nice shirt and a nice gesture!

It’s official! Chunsoft’s 999 followup is coming to North America on both 3DS and Vita as “Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward.” The branding will extend back to 999, which is now also part of a “Zero Escape” game series. Totally makes sense!

The American release of Virtue’s Last Reward will have voice-acted “Novel” sections. The announcement by publisher Aksys isn’t clear whether this will be in English or Japanese. The 3DS game will be retail; the Vita version will be sold over PSN and retail.

I gotta finish 999! Like, at least once.
