The World Ends with You is getting another chance at success with the upcoming The World Ends with You: Final Remix. In a recent issue of Famitsu, some of the dev team shared their thoughts on the game, how they feel about the jump to Switch, and more. Check out some of team's statements below.

Sorry about the wait, everybody! The World Ends with You is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch! When making the Nintendo DS version of the game, we tried to fully take advantage of the system’s hardware and limitations – this time, we’ve customized the game to be a perfect fit for the Switch. In TV mode, you can truly “share” the gameplay with a friend by utilizing the second Joy-Con and enjoy the newly revitalized graphics for an even more amazing-looking experience. But of course, the main draw to this version of the game is the brand-new scenario! After clearing the game, Neku and the others are embroiled in another conflict – what exactly is going to happen to them!? And how is all of this related to the mysterious girl that appears!? New Noise monsters and pins will also make an appearance! You’ll definitely want to play to the end, I’m sure of it. Anyway, there’s only a little bit more waiting until release; I hope you all enjoy the game!

In this new Final Mix version of the game, the visuals have been considerably updated. However, the game itself has been updated too with the inclusion of the new scenario and features from the Solo Mix version of the game released on mobile phones. Those that enjoyed the previous versions of the game will definitely enjoy this one. As for the brand-new scenario, it’s been revealed that the Reapers were working behind the scenes of the game, and the mysterious girl from the ending of the Solo Mix also makes an appearance. That same girl has come to Shibuya under certain mysterious circumstances… What could they be? And remember, Kingdom Hearts III is releasing on January 29th, 2019, so I think you’ll want to have exhausted this game completely by then! (laughs)
