Here’s an interesting little tidbit about Miitomo. Tomodachi Life QR codes work with the app, meaning you can easily bring over your character. The Mii’s name, voice, appearance, and personality transfer. Your catchphrase also becomes your greeting. You can use the QR code so long as you’ve sen “allow copying” on.

Another round of Zero Time Dilemma details have surfaced from a new Kotaku report. We’ve rounded up the various tidbits below.

General

– Can switch between English and Japanese at will
– Set at the mysterious Mars testing facility where things happened
– Set decades in the past before Virtue’s Last Reward
– 9 characters in English – Phi, Sigma, Akane, Junpei, and newcomers: Diana (mentioned in VLR), Carlos, Eric, Mira, and a little boy with a big helmet named Q
– Once again, characters are separated into three different squads
– Switch between the teams as you play through the story
– Each team is trapped in a specific ward of the facility, where they’ve gotta figure out how to escape
– Story will be told through cinematics
– All of the dialogue will be voiced
– Can play without reading
– Trying to make it as accessible as possible to people who haven’t played the first two games
– Every 90 minutes, a drug is injected from the watches everyone’s wearing that causes them to wake up and lose all their memories
– The story can be played out of chronological order thanks to this mechanic, so you start from a ‘floating fragment’ screen that shows you the various scenes in the story
– As you complete each fragment, you’ll see how they fit into a larger narrative chart that you can uncover as you play
– The characters don’t know where they are in the timeline, and neither does the player
– When you complete a segment it goes into the larger decision tree
– This tells you where it actually happens in the story
– Zero will make your characters try to kill one another
– Game tries to miss with both the player and the characters as much as possible

Demo details

– Begins with Sigma locked to a chair while Zero monologued at him
– Phi was next to him locked inside an incinerator
– Diana stood between them and had to make the choice
– Cut-scenes are in 3D
– With the scenes, there is a moving camera and actual in-game objects
– The gun next to Sigma’s chair has 3 live rounds and three blanks
– If Diana pulls the trigger it’ll shut down the incinerator whether or not the bullet is live
– She has a 50/50 chance of killing Sigma
– In 3 minutes, the incinerator will start and kill Phi
– If Diana pulls the trigger, the door will open but Sigma has a 50/50 chance of dying
– They decided to pull the trigger
– It’s completely random what happens
– The game calculates the odds each time
– In this case, the bullet is a blank, Sigma lives and Phi is also saved from the incinerator
– Some of the choices throughout the game will have randomness like that
