Good People Die, the sequel to 999, is coming to America photo

Alright! That's one game crossed off my list! Let's see if the rest follow suit!

The latest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmed that Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die, the sequel to the f*ckin' amazing visual novel / room escape game Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, will see a North American localization for the 3DS. Despite acting all sly when previously asked about the game's chances of coming over, Aksys will once again be handling publishing duties.

Good People Die is also a Vita title, but since this info comes from Nintendo Power, nothing about Vita was uttered. I'm sure the Vita version will come as well -- it's the Arsenio Hall to the 3DS' Eddie Murphy, after all.

Ah yes. It is another beautiful day in Zamunda.

Anyways, this is good news. 999 was a great game.

Good people may die, but at least we get to play this game before we do!

So you're saying the Vita is the less talented, but more handsome friend of the 3DS?

I'm so happy. Good thing Aksys is doing the localization again, Aksys did such a wonderful job at translating it, and I didn't want some other studio potentially messing this game up.

For those of you curious, Japanator actually conducted an interview with Ben from Aksys Games about his localization work on Hakuoki. Lots of interesting details about his work process that could be applied to Good People Die as well.

The Vita version had better be coming - those of us in Europe/Australia who will never get a local release of this will need to import that version. Fucking 3DS region lock.

Well, I'm happy for you guys, anyway.

I've never played (or "experienced") 999, but I hope this game is as depressing as it sounds. I enjoy depression influenced by media. Don't ask why.

I imagine I'll get the Vita version as it's screen will make it more enjoyable to read the text. Either way, great news! Hope to hear more soon about both versions.

SWEEEEEEEEET!

But if there's that many endings there had BETTER be a "skip this room that you've already solved" option.

Once over was acceptable, but having to beat the same rooms 5 times was not really worth the effort for some of the endings.

Now I just have to hope that someone figures out a way to crack the region locking on the 3DS so I can actually play this.

Also: I'm still upset that my copy of 999 got stolen.

Oh right, yes, THAT was why I was interested in a Vita; lack of region locks for this sort of thing. Thanks for that reminder.
