Please be a sequel.
Surely it’s to announce the date for the anime? All bets on January for me
I'm not sure how it could be anything other than TWEWY2 at this point. Even reusing the same countdown as the mobile port since everyone hoped it would be a sequel back then.

They already have a site for the anime. This was revealed by 1st PD (FF7R and whatnot) so it’s either a new console game, a port to PS4/PC/???, or a mobile game.

Af this point they are absolutely trolling us by using an old website design xD
@xenosaga7 on Twitter mentioned that, when the countdown transitioned into the next day at zero, the music changed and the site started playing the first 2m30s of this old promo video.
Might have been a test that wasn't supposed to go public, who knows. I should probably check this out later in the day.
It's worth mentioning Nomura's comments on the Switch TWEWY if anybody's forgotten.
I’ve had a chance to attend various events in different countries during the 11 years following the release of The World Ends With You. On many occasions, I have been interviewed by both the fans and the media, who have told me how much they want me to make a sequel for The World Ends With You. We’ve been looking for an opportunity, and there were a few times we tried to get it started, but time passed without it ever coming to realisation.
There are a number of implications behind this -Final Remix- version. In addition to my intention of making this my last time working with the original game, I think this is the final chance for creating a path to the next step, which I’ve had ideas about since the first launch 11 years ago. Many thanks to everyone for supporting ongoing efforts.
The Final Remix was the final chance for creating a path to the sequel. As in, there would not be any more chances to make ports to tease things. Of course, Nomura saying this doesn't actually stop a SE exec from saying "let's put that on PS4" or something, but because of that statement I'm pretty certain this can only be the sequel.

I think the site will show the history of the franchise every day, starting with that promo.
The site is not on accident because SE has changed their social media to TWEWY and they tweeted the site themselves.
John Vignocchi, head of 3rd Party Portfolio Management at Nintendo, liked SE’s countdown tweet (some of you might remember him from Disney and he was a huge proponent of trying to get KH into Disney Infinity). It’s very possible this is going to be a Switch-related project if he isn’t just liking that as a fan.
Their first countdown still comes to mind here and there...
Any feel like this countdown is anticlimactic? Like for all we know it could be a Google Stadia port. I don’t see any indication of “Hey! Big TWEWY announcement soon!” which would support the countdown in the first place.
Coincidentally, I was getting urges to replay TWEWY on the Switch, hahaha. If this is a sequel, then I think it's safe to think that it can be released a year from now.
But I wonder if they'll make any gameplay tweaks.

No, because SE has been doing this recently. As soon as their newest title releases, they jump right into the marketing cycle of their next upcoming title.
I don't want to keep my hopes up but please just give us the sequel.
Please give us the sequel Square. It is time.
This is definitely a direct replay of the iOS port teaser site, isn't it?
I favorited this video ages ago because it had all 7 Days' music tracks, with the new instrument layers adding each day:

Yes, it is definitely a replay of the iOS teaser site and SE knows exactly what they are doing to us by doing this.

And...what are they doing to us exactly..? I guess the joke is over my head. Either that or it's I tend to not pretend to be a mind-reader or to assume intent, lol.

Trolling. They know that by using the teaser site they used before, they are trolling the fans. Back when that site initially launched for the iOS port, everybody believed it was for TWEWY 2 and got their hopes up. When the countdown finished and revealed the port, people were very vocally upset but overall still hopeful.
Now that we are 8 years past that event and have experience many teaser sites, the tables have turned. The site is the exact same one with a few differences, but now fans are hesitant about it being TWEWY 2.
It’s classic trolling through inverted expectations.

If that's the case, I'll hope your interpretation is a correct one. Seems hopeful.
Not sure how much stock anyone took in all of it, but in that Nintendo Gigaleak this past summer, along with all the leaked assets and images, wasn't there a supposed list of things coming out? I believe I saw that had a TWEWY sequel on the list, along with a few other things that ended up proving correct (such as a 3D Mario compilation). Who knows with "leaks" like that, but this could end up being one more notch in the belt of that list's credibility, eh?

For all we know, TWEWY2 could be a fully 3D action game where pins are more like the BBS command deck. Anything is possible.

I would quite like that actually. As much as I really enjoy the unique setup of the original DS game, the mobile and Switch versions really didn't do much for me and I'd rather they take the core ideas and fully reinvent it. As long as we get the [S]pogs[/S] pins, the stylish music, and punky character designs it'll be TWEWY enough for me to enjoy. Heck it might even end up more enjoyable overall, and approachable for people intimidated by the previous gameplay styles.
Again with the sequel baiting, if it's another port I hope we'll see it on Steam this time around.

I’m wondering how it would play on Steam...the game really wants players to use touch and motion controls.
If they remapped everything with button inputs, at that point they absolutely need to release an update to the Switch version to add that as an option and then port to PS4 because there is no reason not to at that point.
Today the website featured a trailer for Solo Remix on iOS/Android. I was right in my theory that it would run through the history of the series.
Tomorrow will likely be Live Remix, then Final Remix the day after, then perhaps the Anime on the 5th day. That just leaves one day with a blank slate, so I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say it is going to be a quick teaser showing key moments throughout all of these games up to A New Day.
Then the 7th day will be the official reveal of TWEWY on Ouya.

tbh the Game & Watch would get it before either

I somehow read this as ouija, and went "well, I guess playing with a dead person as your partner is part of the game".

It could use a mouse cursor if on Steam.

That’s true, but man the carpel tunnel syndrome people would get from that...
I think all signs are pointing to a sequel, which may be multiple (Switch and mobile).
Huh, so today was the Final Remix trailer. Maybe they are gonna tease things sooner than I thought?
So the original trailer, the Solo Remix trailer, and now the Final Remix trailer.
Maybe the anime trailer next?
And after that...what's the last thing they'll show before whatever they're revealing?
Edit: So i watched the counter hit zero and expected it to switch to 2 days but it didn't.
Time loop

Oh, God. Is it a glitch or on purpose? Time-traveling in TWEWY? :(
Today it was another Final Remix trailer.

For real lol

Maybe one was real and one was dreamed? ?

Today was a version of the anime preview.
Placing bets on it being a Candy Crush clone about matching pins and it gets shutdown within a year.
It's got the pink blood from Danganronpa, they're doing a crossover!
The moment I saw the square, I thought...
Quadratum?
But nah, it couldn't be...
The anime will have a big announcement at 20:00 JST
to note, this is separate from the countdown but still likely timed to be in conjunction to the announcement because why not?
