The World Ends with You, known in Japan as It's a Wonderful World, is an action role-playing game with urban fantasy elements developed by Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts team and Jupiter for the Nintendo DS handheld console. Set in the modern-day Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, The World Ends with You features a distinctive art style inspired by Shibuya and its youth culture. Development was inspired by elements of Jupiter's previous game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It was released in Japan in July 2007, and in PAL regions and North America on April 22, 2008. An enhanced version for iOS devices, titled The World Ends With You -Solo Remix-, was released in August 2012 and for Android devices in June 2014. A social network spin-off game titled The World Ends With You -Live Remix- was released in May 2013 for Japan's Android and iOS Stores developed by Square Enix in collaboration with GREE. The spinoff was shut down in February 2014 due to a lack of increasing interest. In the game, Neku Sakuraba and his allies are forced to participate in a game that will determine their fate.
There are two components for playing a ds The World Ends With You game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the ds OS and software.
The second component is the The World Ends With You game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest NO$GBA – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading NO$GBA , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the no$gba.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play The World Ends With You. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to NO$GBA and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
