Zero Time Dilemma pre-order watches now being sent to retailers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
About a year before Zero Time Dilemma came out, Aksys took pre-orders for a limited edition version of the game. The publisher hoped to hook up fans who put in an early reservation with a special watch. But due to watches being damaged in transit, no one has received the bonus item just yet.
Yesterday, Aksys shared an update about the situation Twitter. Replacement watches arrived in the warehouse, and they’ll now be going out to retailers. That means Amazon and GameStop should finally be able to send out the watches very soon.
The official tweet reads:
We've received ZTD watches in our warehouse and we'll be sending these out to our retail partners. They will provide you w/ ship updates.

Zero Escape creator on origins and making Zero Time Dilemma, series as a whole, more
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
Around the time when Zero Time Dilemma was launching in Japan, Famitsu caught up with series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi about the new game. Uchikoshi spoke about how it came to be, the different aspects of gameplay, and even the ending (don’t worry, there’s only a bit on this and not much in the way of spoilers).
Since the interview was quite lengthy, we’ve opted to summarize the discussion. Continue on below for all of the important points.
The conclusion to the series, restarted to respond to enthusiastic requests from overseas fans
– When Uchikoshi joined Spike Chunsoft, the first title he worked on was 999, but at first it was planned to be a standalone game. Later on it received a “Platinum” from Famitsu reviews, as well as a good reception overseas, which was why there were talks of making its sequel only afterwards.
– They were making both the second and third games for the DS, but at that time (in 2010) the new generation handhelds 3DS and PlayStation Vita were announced.
– They wanted to work with the new systems, but considering they were developing two games at the same time, they didn’t have enough time and budget. In the end they decided to only make the second game (Virtue’s Last Reward) first, and waited to see its reception before deciding to continue the third game.
– Requests for another sequel after Virtue’s Last Reward were high, but most especially from overseas. Thanks to that, the company also gave a “Go” sign for the third game.
– When asked about the similarities and differences between Japanese and overseas fans:
Similarity: The elements they enjoy in the games may be actually the same.
Difference: Overseas fans have much enthusiasm. Uchikoshi thinks it’s because of a difference in history. Japan has had games in the same genre since long ago, such as Banshee’s Last Cry. On the other hand, the west’s first experience with such a genre was 999, so it felt very fresh to them, which was why the hype built up quickly. It also helps that games within the genre are still relatively rare in the west.

Zero Time Dilemma still on track for launch, but pre-order watches delayed a few weeks
Posted on 8 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 8 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.
