So, You're a Player too...? Neku Sakuraba for Smash Switch! [FINAL REMIX FOR SWITCH UPCOMING!]

[Paraster]

Concept for a NEO spirit event I posted yesterday.

I came up with a potential roster for a NEO: The World Ends With You Spirit Board event. It might seem a bit weird to fans, but I think this would work the best for representing the most important parts of the game without providing major spoilers. (The last spirit in particular was a replacement for a different one that was slightly spoilery in its implications and also hard to actually interpret as a spirit.)

Spoiler: "The World Is Yours!"

I just beat the game myself and goddamn did NEO not disappoint

Ok so having beat NEO, how’s this for a Neku idea

Spoiler: OG game + NEO spoilers

I beat NEO TWEWY (bought on Switch) the other day, and I beat the original (emulated on DS). What a fantastic pair of games. The lack of advertising from Square Enix makes me think they aren't in, which is a shame because they absolutely deserve some form of representation. Give us a Mii Costume, song and Spirit Event at the very least.

I'm currently beating Neo for the second time, and is awesome, all of it. Smash representation would be nice, even Rindo alone would be cool.

Spoiler: NEO SPOILERS

The chances? I have a bit of faith because
-Smash has a lot of Square Enix promotion, we got Sephiroth and the 4 DQ protagonists.
-We have had Octopath, Mana, and Bravely Default spirit events.
-So far we haven't had a NEO spirit event.
-Smash has a lot of RPGs represented, 3/5 characters from the first pass are from RPG games, that's a lot.
-Final Remix was published by Nintendo alongside Octopath Traveler and DQ11.

On the other hand, my expectations are very low because NEO was absent from Nintendo's E3 here in America, and even though Square Enix promoted it too much in Japan with the anime, the figures, clothes, cosplays, Famitsu, etc. (and here in Latin America as well lol idk why), they didn´t give it as much attention in America.

Those are my thoughts, even if there's nothing for Smash, the mere fact that NEO exists is like a miracle, but if we had anything in the game, that would be even better, only time will tell.

07734 I’ve just beaten Neo & loved every second of it. I would love to have TWEWY music in Smash, if you had to choose 8-12 songs from the series to put in Smash which would you choose?
Me:
1. Twister
2. Calling
3. Three Minutes Clapping
4. Ooparts
5. It’s So Wonderful
6. Hybrid
7. World is Yours (Neo)
8. Rocking Rocking (Neo)
9. Last Call (Neo)
10. Shibuya Survivor (Neo)
11. Your Ocean (Neo)
12. Kill the Itch (Neo)
I feel 50/50 from both games would be good.

Already came up with a list like this a while back. Bolded are new remixes. Indented weren't in my original list, but added to hit the full 12.

1. Twister
2. Long Dream
3. Calling
4. Hybrid
5. Someday
6. Make or Break
7. Your Ocean
8. Transformation -NEO Mix-
9. Ooparts -NEO Mix-
10. LAST CALL
11. Shibuya Survivor
12. World Is Yours

I swear I didn't specifically aim to make it half-original, half-NEO (depending on how you count NEO Mixes)

Great list! I feel that it’s hard to select only 12 out of their amazing OST.
I just really want TWEWY music in Smash, definitely my favourite video game OST followed by Persona & Kingdom Hearts.

I wouldn’t remix Twister, Calling or Your Ocean myself. I like them original

I've been working on a document outlining what a Neku Challenger Pack would look like on and off for a few months. At this point, it's far from complete, but it's filled out enough that I feel comfortable sharing it here.

Here it is. Suggestions and feedback are appreciated!

 

[TheRebornExpert]

Direct tomorrow boys, let's see if the dream comes true!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The anime's got a dub now with the first episode having aired. Unfortunately everyone was recast except for maybe Joshua

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Hell yeah! If Neku has a chance, it's now - and I'd love to see him in the game - he'd have an epic moveset and be generally really interesting overall!

 

[Rie Sonomura]

With Smash Ultimate’s DLC ending in two days and the sub forum closing afterward, just wanna say it’s been fun

I doubt Neku is CP11 but if he is it’ll be amazing

There’s several Neku for Smash accounts on Twitter, and if they do another ballot (doubtful) I’ll be sure to campaign for Neku

until next time…

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Sora’s just like two steps away from Neku

I do hope Neku makes it next game

or even an Ultimate expanded port or something
