Zero Time Dilemma

During a panel at the WonderCon, Aksys Games announced that the official Zero Time Dilemma (a pre-order bonus in Japan) would be released in English. Unfortunately, they didn’t say when. Naturally, it will not be a pre-order bonus (it’s a bit late for that!).

Here’s details about the artbook:

48-pages booklet (A5, fully coloured)
a prequel written by Kotaro Uchikoshi himself;
illustrations by Rui Tomono (chara-designer);
background design from 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward;
a mysterious surprise.

The cartoon will feature various characters, such as Rush, but also Mega Mini (who is brand new). The primary target audience are kids age 6 to 9, but also their parent who grew up with the Blue Bomber.
