Public service announcement: I will release the remaining VVVVVV music tracks along with a bunch of hot remixes of it and new songs etc etc at the anniversary of VVVVVV’s first release.
Glad to have it on the go. My favorite game on my 3DS now along with Cave Story.
An Alt-Play of some of your other games would be neat like they did with Jason Roher.
Unfortunately, today’s release is for the US only. We’re hoping it’ll follow in other regions soon, but there’s a bit of red tape with one of the rating boards that’s holding that back. It’ll be the new year at least before the UK/Europe version is out.
It’s quite disappointing. I wasn’t able to get it for my own 3DS today!
Yaaaaay! I picked this up today, loved playing it in 3D, brought back all the love and hate filled memories of playing it on PC for the first time, hehe.
Can’t wait to get the rest of the songs, Souleye!
Did anyone else find the hidden remix of Predestined Fate in the game? It suprised me when I heard it, didn’t expect it. It rocks though! ;D
I just played it for the first time, and loved it. However, I’m hoping for an update soon since the flip mode doesn’t currently work (whole screen is blacked out)
I’m thrilled to be playing this on my 3DS. I loved it on the PC, and it works even better on a handheld console. Hearing the new music and the remix in the last stage was an awesome surprise. I can’t wait to get these songs when they are released officially.
Unfortunately I have encountered my fair share of bugs besides the “flip mode” issue. The player levels will occasionally black out upon completion like the “flip mode” bug. In particular I had it black out on both “victuals” and “a new dimension.”
Additionally in “a new dimension” it is impossible to reach the last teleporter without touching the last crew member and ending the game. Despite the message in the game, this means I cannot go back and find the two trinkets I missed. It is really disappointing, and I hope these issues get fixed soon.
I’m pretty worried about the bug reports I’ve been hearing; you’re the first person I’ve heard mention this player level thing. We tested the hell out of this, so I’ve got no idea how it happened. Haven’t talked to Nicalis since before the launch, but I’m hoping they can clear a few things up about it.
Hey Terry. I realize that I shouldn’t be talking to you, but Nicalis seems to be impossible to reach, so you’re my only hope.
VVVVVV on the 3DS just refuses to save your Super Gravitron score, and after getting a new personal best this has gotten incredibly frustrating. Part of why the portable version was so appealing was because I’d be able to play and try to best my score in the Super Gravitron.
Anyways I really hope you can pass this message along to Nicalis and they can get started on a patch. I’ve also heard reports that Flip Mode doesn’t work and produces a black screen, but that one I haven’t tried yet.
Thanks for your time and for making an amazing game!
First I’ve heard of that Super Gravitron bug! I’m talking to Nicalis when they get back from vacation on Monday, hopefully we’ll have an update soon on when we’ll be able to do a patch.
To be more specific, it saves the score I got on it the first time (14 seconds), and if I beat that score it’ll still show my new score for the duration of the game being on. However, when I turn the game off and start it again it always reverts to 14 seconds, even if I made sure to back out to the top menu and even go inside the main game and touch some teleporters. Hope this helps the bug fixing!
I absolutely loved this game, but I’m having two major bugs: one is the already mentioned flip mode issue, where the screen turns black when playing in flip mode.
And the other one I haven’t heard anyone talk about it yet, is that whenever I open the secret lab and then turn off the 3DS, when I get back to the game, the option to go there is gone. I’ve tried it about 3 times, but whenever I reset the game, the secret lab and my Super Gravitron records are gone ):
Perhaps both these could be resolved by having a seperate save for the secret lab? Pausing already has a screen for it, it just says “cannot save in secret lab”.
Confirming Raffael’s bug. If I unlock the Secret Lab and turn the game off from the Home screen, the Secret Lab will be gone when I restart the game later (which also deletes Super Gravitron scores). This happens even if I Telesave in the main game after unlocking the Lab.
There also appears to be a bug where the first Time Trial (the one that only requires three trinkets and “rescuing” Violet) isn’t unlocked for me. Considering I’ve beaten the game and gotten the Secret Lab, I’d think I fulfilled the requirements for this Time Trial!
On a VERY minor note, there are also a few moments in the dialogue where characters who are making the sadface noise are still smiling (such as Victoria during the Secret Lab unlock, before the evacuation). Though, I can’t point out exactly which ones without replaying the game again (which is not an unlikely occurrence, but won’t be immediately).
Bugs aside, I’m very happy for this port. Not only do I love carrying VVVVVV with me wherever I go, I like the idea that I’m throwing the name at people every time I use StreetPass. 😀 Raising awareness, yay!
Hey guys, I just wanted to report that I’m having the Super Gravitron score-saving bug as well, and it’s really soul-crushing! Only my first high score is saved, permanently, and no matter what I score now it will always be deleted after I quit out.
I was also getting a lot of sadface death noises at random in the time trial of the first stage. It didn’t count deaths against me but it’s pretty jarring when it plays the sound for no reason.
i wish i read these comments more…i guess its time to delete VVVVVV from my system, redownload it (to make sure none of my previous stuff interferes with it) and try making videos of what all of you have said.
Is anyone going to give us any news on VVVVVV europe? I know the release ‘date’ was January, but there are no more Thursdays in January! Can you atleast say if VVVVVV is still coming to europe? id rather know than be disapointed every time new downloads become avalable.

WIN!
Public service announcement: I will release the remaining VVVVVV music tracks along with a bunch of hot remixes of it and new songs etc etc at the anniversary of VVVVVV’s first release.
Expect awesome.
“Yeah!” to both! (loving the tune btw)
Unfortunately, I do not own a 3DS.
But I am eagerly awaiting the update on the music!
Awesome! Downloading now along with Pushmo!
Double-dipping as soon as I can flip my 3DS on. Congratulations!
Okay so I had never played this game before, but I saw it in the e-shop, had a balance left over and thought I’d give it a shot.
Man, what a mind-f#@k!! This game is freaking awesome!
VVVVVV where have you been all my life! Great work!
Can’t wait for the European release. Should ease my return to university after the Winter holidays.
Congratulations!!! 🙂
Cool, great reason to replay it. 😀
@HateTheDrake – Pushmo is fantastic, one of the best puzzle games all year.
Glad to have it on the go. My favorite game on my 3DS now along with Cave Story.

Why is there no EU release yet? 🙁
Ok I never comment here but new tracks from Souleye is reason enough to!
Can’t wait to buy them. 😀
Went on to eshop
See no UK release
*sadface*

Great job Terry!
Can’t wait for the EU release! Nice work Terry.
Been noticing coding glitches in the player levels. :/ But otherwise it’s awesome. 🙂
Bought it yesterday! Can’t wait to beat it again.
Congrats Terry – hope it does really well for you!
Got it!

I experience a blank top screen in Flip Mode. Luckily, I don’t use Flip Mode, but the blank is still there.
I can’t play in flop mode on the 3DS version…
The screen goes black and ypu can’t see anything…
🙁
*flip mode*
Give UK at least trailer to i can pretend i play it on my 3DS 🙂

Hey, Terry, any news on the European release?
I hope this is coming to the Japan eShop as well. Eagerly awaiting.
Hey guys, I just wanted to report that I’m having the Super Gravitron score-saving bug as well, and it’s really soul-crushing! Only my first high score is saved, permanently, and no matter what I score now it will always be deleted after I quit out.
I was also getting a lot of sadface death noises at random in the time trial of the first stage. It didn’t count deaths against me but it’s pretty jarring when it plays the sound for no reason.
I’d love an iOS release of this game. Seems like it’d be perfect for a phone/tablet as well. 😀
i wish i read these comments more…i guess its time to delete VVVVVV from my system, redownload it (to make sure none of my previous stuff interferes with it) and try making videos of what all of you have said.
im gonna have such a long night tonight.
any word on the european 3ds release?
Any progress with PEGI?
Does anyone know if we’re still on for a January 3DS release? I’m aching to grab VVVVVV for my 3DS!
Anyone out there?
When you get a spontaneous “sad face death noise” during a time trial, it just means you’ve gone over the Par Time for the trial. So sad!
I am still getting the black screen on flip mode bug. I hope this is fixed soon. 🙁
Is anyone going to give us any news on VVVVVV europe? I know the release ‘date’ was January, but there are no more Thursdays in January! Can you atleast say if VVVVVV is still coming to europe? id rather know than be disapointed every time new downloads become avalable.
Guys, I don’t know when the game’s coming out in the UK. I wish I did. When I do know, I’ll tell you. 🙁
Personally, I can live without flip mode. I’m more interested in the level editor.
Also, I beat dimension 333333 and veni vidi vici without invincibility mode! Yay!
Ok Terry, thanks for the word. Sorry I was kinda having a go at you, I just cant wait to play your awesome game!
Do you plan to release on the Japanese eShop?
