The team behind 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors is reuniting for another "extreme escape" game. Andriasang reports, via information in Famitsu, that the new game for Vita and 3DS will be called Gyokugen Dasshutsu Adv: Zennin Shiboudes in Japanese -- Gyokugen Dasshutsu translates to "Extreme Escape." 999 was called Gyokugen Dasshutsu: Ku Jikan, Ku Nin, Kyu no Tobira in Japan, meaning the game may not be a direct sequel, but could take place in the 999 universe.
The new game will recruit 999's director and character designer to take on another sinister scenario. Initial details should be available shortly, but we'll have to wait a little longer before international plans blow out.
Coincidentally, 999 is on sale today through Amazon. It's a trap!
[Thanks, Aaron.]

999 was a fantastic visual novel, I can't wait to play this spiritual successor (sequel?)! Question is, will each version take advantage of platform-specific features, such as 3D on the 3DS and Rear-touchpad support for the Vita? Hmm...

999 gave me massive brain rape. I'm glad they're giving it another go.

Awesome, 999 was brilliant. I already loved it before I finished it, but the major twist was incredibly inspired. The ending practically begs for a sequel, so I hope this new title is connected somehow

Haha, I sent this in too.
The Vita's launch is really strong and games keep piling up for it, I hope I can scrounge up the money for one.

999 was a surprise hit for me last year. Such an amazing story.

So long as there's a way to fast forward through dialog sequences this time. That would make replays bearable

You could do that. You couldn't skip stuff you haven't seen before.

999 was one of the most underrated ds games.

@JMC611 Maybe he meant popularity wise. 999 isn't one of the most known DS games after all.

Thanks to 999 I can no longer hold frozen chicken without thinking about how hard it is.

Loved 999. We'll see if this new game can convince me to shell out the cash for a Vita or 3DS though.
