Chase: Cold Case Investigations gets first review in Famitsu
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Last week, Aksys announced localization of Chase: Cold Case Investigations. It’s a new game from Hotel Dusk director Taisuke Kanasaki plus former CING staff.
Although Famitsu’s review was published a few weeks back, we thought we’d take a new look at it now that Chase’s localization is confirmed. Editors dished out scores of “8”, “7”, “8”, and “6” for a score of 29 out of 40.
Wondering why Chase received those scores? Head past the break for the full transcript of Famitsu’s review.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Yesterday, Aksys Games revealed at Anime Expo that the company is localizing Chase: Cold Case Investigations. That wasn’t the only 3DS announcement made at the panel though. Aksys is also planning on bringing over the sequel to Ninja Usagimaru: The Gem of Blessings.
The first Ninja Usagimaru launched in North America and Europe last year. It has players going through various levels and rescuing villagers in various levels by overcoming traps and gimmicks. The new game builds on the foundation of the original.
Here’s a Japanese trailer for the game:
The new Ninja Usagimaru will be released on the eShop this fall.
Thanks to Jose for the tip.

In May, Chase: Cold Case Investigations – Distant Memories released on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It was a new game from Arc System Works, with Hotel Dusk: Room 215 director Taisuke Kanasaki and former CING employees on board for the project.
Today, Aksys Games announced at its Anime Expo panel that the title will be heading west. It’ll be available this fall on the eShop.
Chase: Cold Case Investigations stars detectives Shounosuke Nanase and Koto Amekura as they investigate a reopened case about an explosion and death. It was originally determined to be an accident, but an anonymous caller informs the division that it was actually murder.
Here’s one of the Japanese trailers for the game:

Zero Time Dilemma director shares Twitter message for fans
Posted on 7 years ago by Jake in 3DS | 3 Comments
With Zero Time Dilemma releasing, series director Kotaro Uchikoshi has sent a message to the fans via Twitter. The full message, spread out over multiple tweets, reads:
Zero Time Dilemma was made by a small number of staff. I have seen them working very hard day after day within a limited time and asset. I am proud of them. And of course, I am proud of all the fans of ZE series. If there was no passionate action by all the fans, “June 28 in 2016” would become entirely different day from this timeline. I will say over and over again. You guys realized ZTD. The person who made ZTD is you. I really appreciate you. Thank you very much! Now, it’s time to decide. Will you play ZTD or not? The choice is yours.

Zero Time Dilemma still on track for launch, but pre-order watches delayed a few weeks
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Aksys Games held a promotion for Zero Time Dilemma that was planned to provide fans with a special watch if they pre-ordered at Amazon or GameStop. Unfortunately, we’re now hearing that they were damaged in transit.
So what does that mean? Aksys says that consumers will still receive the game, though watches won’t be available until a few weeks later. The publisher hopes to make it up to fans by providing a currently unspecified bonus.
Aksys posted on Twitter a little while ago:
ZTD preorder bonus game/watch bundles were damaged in transit. The watches were sent back to the factory, but game units are on time.

If you preordered ZTD w/ watch, you'll get the game, but the watches will be a few weeks behind. You WILL STILL GET YOUR WATCH.
— Aksys Games (@aksysgames) June 24, 2016
You'll get your bonus watch, and a bonus for the bonus being late. We're going to make this right. @Aksys_Danny can field all questions.

[Review] Zero Time Dilemma
Posted on 7 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in 3DS, Reviews | 17 Comments
System: 3DS
Release date: June 28, 2016
Developer: Spike Chunsoft
Publisher Aksys Games
To start our review, if you’re already a fan of the Zero Escape series, then I recommend that you stop reading beyond this paragraph. Zero Time Dilemma is very much a new Zero Escape game, despite some alterations to the formula. I won’t spoil anything in the review, but I do recommend going in knowing as little as possible if you can help it. If you enjoyed Zero Time Dilemma’s predecessors, then you’ll feel right at home here, even with the slightly revised formula.
