[LordKano]

Any impact expected from the Atlus event/stream 11h from now?
SMT 3DS will likely be teased, but what else? Etrian Odyssey maybe? Vanillaware?
Seems that outside of Radiant Historia, they'll talk about their 2017 lineup...

If they intend to announce a lot of games, I expect :
- SMT3DS revealed
- Etrian Odyssey Untold 3 revealed
- A Persona 5 spin-off revealed
- 13 Sentinels shown off again
- More talking about SMT Switch (and announcement of the PS4 version)

 

[Hero of Legend]

Oh! Almost forgot about the Atlus stream. What time/how many hours left is it? It's the next day already in Japan, so in a few hours no?

Edit: 11 hours from now I think. It's at 7PM JST.

 

[Eolz]

Yep, 11 hours from now! Don't know if there's a link for the stream yet.

- SMT3DS revealed
- Etrian Odyssey Untold 3 revealed
- A Persona 5 spin-off revealed
- 13 Sentinels shown off again
- More talking about SMT Switch (and announcement of the PS4 version)

I can't see them talking about SMT HD yet tbh, since they've just started working on it, and is likely 2 years away at least.
Other seem plausible, unless Untold 3 is on Switch for some reason. Wonder what they'll do to make EO work on a single screen horizontally.

 

[Jon Carter]

Shin Megami Tensei I + II HD Collection for Switch maybe?

 

[Oregano]

Considering both series has "officially" ended it's the perfect time for Sega to unite Niinou's Dungeon Crawlers and make Etrian Odyssey x 7th Dragon.

EDIT: On a serious note I'm not really expecting anything Switch from them at the moment.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Why do I have a feeling this Atlus stuff is going to be trivial?

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Eolz]

Shin Megami Tensei I + II HD Collection for Switch maybe?

Since they've announced their next SMT projects, and that SMT HD is apparently the next mainline game, no. SMT1+2 3DS is probably happening though.

Why do I have a feeling this Atlus stuff is going to be trivial?

I hope I'm wrong.

Depends what you expect. The new Fantasy RPG won't be there, the focus is on Radiant Historia, etc. People expecting PS4 projects will be disappointed for example, but that doesn't mean it'll be trivial.

 

[Kresnik258]

I am assuming I missed something last week when I was away for APS March Meeting?

*sips coffee while working on laser alignment* Fascinating thread this week.

I feel like you really want us to know what you do for a living these past few days?

 

[Jon Carter]

Since they've announced their next SMT projects, and that SMT HD is apparently the next mainline game, no. SMT1+2 3DS is probably happening though.

I thought the sarcasm was obvious.

 

[Vena]

I live in a dark basement doing science, I need someone to appreciate my work! But nah, that wasn't my intention more just adding some context.

PREDICTION LEAGUE APRIL 2017

Predict how much these titles will sell in the month (from Mar 27 to Apr 30):

[NSW] Nintendo Switch Hardware (35 days) - 222k
[PS4 + PSV] Musou Stars (32 days) - 101k
[3DS] Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (11 days) - 185k
[3DS] Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X (4 days) - 78k
[NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (3 days) - 264k

 

[Rodin]

Great hold for Switch and Zelda, not sure about the MH result. It's the 5-6th game of the series hitting 3DS if i'm not mistaken, so it's good but not great i guess?

Shin Megami Tensei I + II HD Collection for Switch maybe?

I thought the sarcasm was obvious.

I don't know about that, but i really want a remake of Digital Devil Saga 1-2. Don't even care about the platform, i'd buy it anywhere. Just played it a couple of times with a friend and he's been telling me to play both since then, it's been like 6 years now and he doesn't stop lol

 

[Jon Carter]

I think the MHXX numbers are good for what it is, but what it is is a filler game to milk the fanbase in a slow year. It's very strange that Capcom expected much better numbers.

 

[Eolz]

I thought the sarcasm was obvious.

Ah missed that, my bad. Could have been a legitimate interest. I doubt SMT HD will be the only game from Atlus on this platform.

 

[Ōkami]

Shin Megami Tensei I + II HD Collection for Switch maybe?

Roms of the Super Famicom originals with little to no upgrades, 5000 yen.

 

[casiopao]

Finally Persona 2 Untold
Devil Survivor 3
Even Stranger Journey

I don't expect anything significant in terms of platform movers. If there is anything for the Switch announced, it will be low effort stuff because this for 2017 releases. The focus I think will be on 3DS and PS4/Vita.

 

[Kanann]

Give me SMT collection (include Digital Devil Saga) and see me faint like an old lady.

 

[Fisico]

So Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon 2
SMT Strange Journey Deep
Both on 3DS

They will probably end with a Persona spin off and or bigger teaser for SMT HD

EDIT : Yeah for the latter but only 10 more seconds lol

 

[duckroll]

I overestimated what they had to show. It was just 3DS. LOL!

 

[Mpl90]

My main question after reading what happened.

Where the fuck is 13 Sentinels?

Side question:

Where the fuck are other Persona-related games?

 

[LordKano]

Looking at the survey again (since we're going to have some announcements this sunday), I see that they asked people what they thought of the Strange Journey remake on DS (just next to the same question but with recent releases, like Persona 5, Etrian Odyssey V...).I wonder if the 3DS SMT Project will be another Strange Journey remake, or maybe a compilation with Nocturne ?

Well, there it is. Survey was right again.

 

[Mpl90]

Well, there it is. Survey was right again.

Didn't they ask in the survey about Persona 5 on other platforms as well?

 

[LordKano]

Didn't they ask in the survey about Persona 5 on other platforms as well?

Yeah, they asked about all of that, more specifically :

“Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Eternal Punishment” HD console remake
Completely new “Persona 6”
“Persona 5” dance game (sound action)
New Persona fighting game for “Persona 5”
“Persona 3” HD console remake
“Persona 1” HD console remake
“Persona” series board game
“Persona” series online game
“Persona” series shooting game
“Persona 5” with added scenarios and new elements
Continuation of “Persona Q” and remake to other platforms
“Persona 3” dance game (sound action)

And you could choose between Vita, PS4, mobile and Switch for all these platforms.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Atlus didn't even bother for a swan song for Vita. RIP.

Hey, they're releasing Valkyria Revolution on Vita in the west!

 

[Kresnik258]

Hey, they're releasing Valkyria Revolution on Vita in the west!

Hey, they're releasing not-Persona written by Tadashi Satomi in the west, which is wayyyyyyy better than any not-Valkyria by Media.Vision!

Spoiler

Or, it would be if the actual gameplay was any good

Is Caligula to Persona what Legend of Legacy is to SaGa then?

 

[LordKano]

Is Caligula to Persona what Legend of Legacy is to SaGa then?

Man, you're harsh to Legend of Legacy.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Yeah, they asked about all of that, more specifically :

And you could choose between Vita, PS4, mobile and Switch for all these platforms.

Persona 2 remake for PS4 and/or Switch incoming.

 

[test_account]

What happened to him? Last I saw he was still posting, just never in Media Create threads (though that was a few months ago).

I think that is another guy, named "Pennywise". Other guy was named "Pennywise83" and hanst posted in about a year (account is still banned). I'm wondering why he was banned though.

 

[Magicpaint]

Atlus didn't even bother for a swan song for Vita. RIP.

I'm surprised we never got a definitive version of P3 for it. It'd have been so good.

 

[Boney]

Nice hold for Switch software, been out of the loop but I guess there's some positive buzz going on?

Zelda at 320k with no signs of stopping is very encouraging after years of decline (OoT3D being an exception). What's the outlook for 500k? Would be massive.

Horrible XX numbers...
bring on the Switch port.

I would rather have a 4G port.
They better have a radical follow up as 4 was to keep the brand strong after two years of X sucking.

 

[Busaiku]

If you include Untold, half of Atlus's 3DS output were DS games.

500k combined should be guaranteed. 500k for Switch alone is likely but not gaurenteed.

 

[Sandfox]

If you want to get technical, Sega is the one doing that.

 

[Kyoufu]

But X is the best MH to date.

[DarkLordMalik]

I'm surprised we never got a definitive version of P3 for it. It'd have been so good.

Yes. I was holding out for a potential P3: Silver/Golden/Platinum for a long time so it is disappointing to see this dream shatter and burn.

 

[LordKano]

Should I be worried about Koei Tecmo ? Musou Stars is a flop, and recently most of their collaboration bombed too. NiOh did fine but I doubt it's enough to compensate for all the other games.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Yes. I was holding out for a potential P3: Silver/Golden/Platinum for a long time so it is disappointing to see this dream shatter and burn.

P3 and P4 getting HD Remasters/Versions is a given.

 

[Oregano]

Should I be worried about Koei Tecmo ? Musou Stars is a flop, and recently most of their collaboration bombed too. NiOh did fine but I doubt it's enough to compensate for all the other games.

Nah, companies like Nintendo and Square Enix are happy to lend them IPs/hire them to develop games.

 

[Rymuth]

Finally Persona 2 Untold
Devil Survivor 3
Even Stranger Journey

Frightening how close this was >_>

 

[DarkLordMalik]

P3 and P4 getting HD Remasters/Versions is a given.

Yes. I do see them trying to release these games again on PS4 after P5 is out while they work on releasing P6 in the next 10 years, they might as well do all the remakes from P1 to 4.

 

[Eolz]

Nah, companies like Nintendo and Square Enix are happy to lend them IPs/hire them to develop games.

And they're really good at managing budgets on top of that

 

[Kresnik258]

And they're really good at managing budgets on top of that

Yeah. They've just been gushing about how Nioh is a huge success at 1m units, the kind of figure that'd make a bigger publisher pull the plug on a franchise. They'll be alright.

 

[1st Course]

Believe it or not Koei is actually bigger than Capcom (look it up).

They will be fine.
