Itd be a dream come true if in the event sony/nintendo bought em they kept them multiplatformi really really really really really really don't see nintendo buying atlus. they don't just go out and buy companies. it's just not their style. however, if we look back at the last two years, they've been putting a lot of their franchise games, mainly the smt games, on the ds and 3ds. only persona goes on the psp/vita. meanwhile on consoles, it's the opposite: nintendo gets none of the atlus games while ps3/360 get persona 4: arena and catherine. on the other hand, those are really the only two franchises from atlus proper that i'm aware of.
almost nothing, especially if you do not live in japan and are thus not exposed to most of index's stuff, but i'm sure any negative fan reactions to persona 5 will be blamed on it
Sis imagine SMT x Dynasty Warrior gameOk then Tecmo plz
Ok then Tecmo plz
NO. Square is struggling as it is releasing one game
I hope this doesn't set the tone for the coming generation, it seems like companies are going down left and right (THQ,CAVE now Atlus).
You guys, SMT and Persona aren't going to die, they are just gonna have a new home. (Hopefully at the same address.)
there's literally nothing you can do because it has nothing to do with you

That's them. They recently stealth released Atelier Totori Plus on PSN. No announcement was made at all. The Store was updated and it suddenly appeared with no warning. They also upset fans for not doing dual voices for Ayesha even though it was common with NISA Atelier games.

I don't think Atlus' IPs are significant enough for any platform holder to buy them on a whim. Just doesn't seem like a big strategic advantage to have them exclusively on your system. It assures you some sales in Japan and that's about it.
I think it will depend one two things:
- Who the creditors are
- The outcome of the corruption investigation
...one can hope, dammit! XDwell i mean you'll have to wait until sony lets you stream ps3 games to your ps4 to do that
kind of? except the implication here isn't that index is so vital to the economy it can't fail or else it'll take the whole country with it.

You're right.
Squeenix should buy em.
Always wanted to see what a mainline SMT game would look like under Nomura's guidance.
RIP EU soul hackers, etrian odyssey 4 and SMT IV ?
So... besides all the specualtion what is going to happen with their corpse... WHY are they bankrupt in the first place?
RIP EU soul hackers, etrian odyssey 4 and SMT IV ?
SE or Capcom would be good pubs right?
If this means we don't get Persona 5, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Cities will burn.
How many copies of Dragon's Crown and SMT IV would I have to buy to save the company...
TOO LATEBefore we panic...
Why does everything I love have to die!?
a mess.... so who do you want to buy them?
No one should love Index. They were rotten.Why does everything I love have to die!?
Ayesha didn't even have a full English voice track. This is not a comforting fact.I think GungHo might be the most likely choice. But Tecmo isn't a terrible choice either. It's not like Persona games have dual audio anyway.
Oh God, can you imagine? The enormous monster Square Taito Eidos Atlus Enix would be... In all seriousness though, if they treated Atlus it as they treat Eidos, I wouldn't even be mad.
Why are people hoping for Sony though? SMT main is Nintendo, Devil Survivor is Nintendo, Soul Hackers released on 3DS when it never really had to, SMTxFE is a thing, and other franchises like Etrian Odyssey and Trauma Center have never left Nintendo.
At this point, only Persona is steady on Sony's platforms and although it had great ports/remakes this gen, it haven't had a sequel since the 6th generation.
It should be neither Nintendo nor Sony, but between the two of them, I dunno.
I think GungHo might be the most likely choice. But Tecmo isn't a terrible choice either. It's not like Persona games have dual audio anyway.
Etrian Odyssey and Soul Hackers have already been released in US, I don't see problems for their release over here. Almost the same for SMTIV, since it's releasing soon in US.
