I played 999 and liked it, and want to get through VLR before the third releases. Should I play it on the 3DS or on the Vita?

there's i think one part of vlr wher eyou need to have taken a note to memorize a passcode or something and the game doesn't let you open the in-game notes. But luckily the 3DS has an integrated, "game notes", feature - need i say more...?

yeah actually they will

Zero Time Dilemma seems to be ditching the visual novel trappings in favour of more cinematic style cutscenes so it might not be right to talk about it in a thread clearly marked [VN]

According to this, the watches this time inject a drug every 90 minutes that causes the characters to lose their memories. When you select scenes you won't know when they happen chronologically, and elements of the game are randomized so you can make the same choices twice and not get the same outcome. And everything's loving grim, holy poo poo!

Yea , I'm gonna wipe my vita save file and read through it sometime before the new game. I would revisit 999 but I'm remembering having a notepad file open with the specific prompts I needed to hit on my 4th playthrough and just spamming through all the text I've already seen...it would be hard to revisit. I remember the final puzzle being amazing though

it was really annoying especially when i was trying to get the true ending on my own. i used a walk thru to find the dialogue tree i was supposed to go to tho hehehe.

vlr let you skip to any point where a decision/story branch happened which was badass

getting the true ending isn't even that hard, it's basically two decisions. one of them is really obvious, the other one is burried in a conversation somewhere and it was really annoying because you had to pick the right path to get to it.

there is one small spoiler for VLR in the trailer. if you scroll up, you can see it right here in this thread.

it's really tiny... barely a spoiler in fact. i'd say knowing that there is a third game is more of a spoiler in fact
