Zero Time Dilemma will be released at the end of the month. If you have no clue what this game's about, here's a brief introduction to ZTD and the Zero Escape series.
The Zero Escape series is classic and should come to Nintendo Switch.
Or better yet, they should bring the two first games, pretend the third never happened and make it again with better writers who actually know the characters.As a big fan of the series, I couldn't believe how bad Zero Time Dilemma was not only with its writing, but also its messy game structure, unsatisfying conclusion, ignoring the greatest mystery of the second game, bad new characters, and an epilogue that's actually hidden and made by just some text.
[SPOILERS]
And let's not forget the addition of sudden alien technology shoehorned into the plot.

EDIT:
"and the final game in the series, Zero Time Dilemma, won our 2016 Game of the Year award"
Oh wow, now I'm truly questioning your site's taste. At least at some point in the article you recognized it's the weakest of the three.
I enjoyed the third, but I completely agree it was a bit of a let down. The characters were so weak.
Agreed. It would be perfect on the Switch. I especially loved Virtue's Last Reward.
There are over 1000 visual novels on Steam, and they're all discounted thanks to the storefront's Visual Novel Sale, which kicked off today.
A fourth installment is not out of the question.
Gonna have to check this out. Heard some really good things about it
Man, I still need to check out 999 and Virtue's Last Reward before I dip into this one. I've heard nothing but good things about the series, and I don't know why I haven't tried them yet.
Virtue's Last Reward was the first I played in the series, (never owned a DS) and it took my breath away. I remember starting the game during my week off work, just checking it out. Three days later I'd already put in almost 30 hours, and I was struggling to sleep. Honestly one of the best games I've ever played, and opened up my world to just how great visual novels can be.
As for whether it's the best VN out there... I'd say Danganronpa 2 juuuuuust about edges it. But it's incredibly close. Can't wait for ZTD!
