Square Enix has announced that its classic fighting-and-fashion J-RPG, The Worlds Ends With You, is coming to Switch on October 12th.
The World Ends With You originally released on Nintendo’s DS handheld over a decade ago in Japan (it came west a year later), and was widely praised for its breathless sense of innovation – evident in everything from its wonderfully utilised modern-day setting, to its fascinating split-screen, touch-focussed, card-based, rhythmic real-time combat system. Which is as dizzyingly hectic – and divisive – as it sounds.
The entire game unfolds across Tokyo’s fashionable Shibuya district, heavily incorporating various aspects of Japanese youth culture, fashion, and consumerism into its core systems.
