Ninety-Nine Nights 2 in Japan this year News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Xbox 360 exclusive's still alive.

Q Entertainment has said that Xbox 360 exclusive Ninety-Nine Nights 2 will be released in Japan before the end of the year.

The hackandslash sequel is now around 50 per cent complete, according to Famitsu magazine (read by 1UP). Details are still scare, although we know that Microsoft Games Studios' Japanese outfit Feelplus will develop, and presumably follow the same formula as before.

That involved hordes of dark-fantasy goblin baddies being mowed down by the outrageous attacks of heroes wrapped in revealing costumes, brandishing serious magical firepower. It's a bit like Dynasty Warriors but with more fantasy.

We hope publisher Microsoft reveals more about NNN2 at E3 this summer.

Ninety-Nine Nights led a second wave of Xbox 360 releases in late 2006, and turned out to be good but not great. Head over to our Ninety-Nine Nights review to find out more.

I thought the first was like Dynasty Warriors but more repetitive, but I think that's my DW fanboy-o-vision didn't help! Of course it does mean I entirely disagree with the line "Unless you're already a big fan of Dynasty Warriors (in which case you'll love this and disregard the score)" from the review.

Nice to see it getting a sequel anyway, the first was still alright.

I like the first but it needed more checkpoints.
Too bloody frustrating dying on a boss and having to re-do the whole stage.

I do enjoy a mindless hackandslash though, DW: Gundam, Circle of doom... Sometimes you just need to bash some buttons.

Surely '100 nights' would have been a better title?

Yes it would. They missed out there. Probably to keep it as "NNN2", for some reason.

I just hope N3-2 will look and move like a big AAA exclusive, because N3-1 was kinda ugly, and had frame rate issues.

I hope the game will actually be completable by mortals this time. The end of game boss in the first game was stupidly difficult. I just gave up.

N3 was a good idea with a lot of silly mistakes. I'm hoping N3.2 can fix them

Wanted to love the first one, liked it a lot but as has already been mentioned too many flaws. Fingers crossed for NNN2.

I enjoyed the first in a brain in neutral kind of way. I also finished it with all characters. I am not even good at these sort of games. It wasn't hard
