So, so happy they picked it up. Didn't deserve to be forgotten.

 

[Briarios]

Sweet! I'll probably pick it up for the PS4 ... Or maybe Wii U to throw some love that way?

 

[MaximumSpider]

Yeah! Day one Vita!

 

[licktheenvelope]

Atlus what did you do you charming individuals?!

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Wow at Atlus paying Microsoft the only dust. Even the Wii U...

I've never heard of this game before. Looks okay, not so much my cup of tea but for a reasonable price I'll definitely pick it up and maybe it can change my mind.

 

[Lijik]

Wow this game looks charming as hell, love the art style

 

[LycanXIII]

Yes! I backed this when it was on Kickstarter and was bummed when it didn't make it, glad to see they found a publisher! I believe the devs have an account here too.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Very happy this got to happen afterall. Kudos to the developer.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I'll give it a go! Sounds fun.

 

[jond76]

No Xbox? Weird...

 

[Storm Chamber]

YAKUZA 5!!!

I hate all of you

 

[cacildo]

Dont know if i understood it right. It was on kickstarter, then atlus (publisher) liked it and picked it up?

 

[Seda]

Dont know if i understood it right. It was on kickstarter, then atlus (publisher) liked it and picked it up?

Yep.

I added all the details to the OP.

 

[Riki]

I remember this from Kickstarter. Was sad when they failed their goal.
Glad they got a second chance!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Another game on ps4. Sure, why not? I'll check it out.

 

[Eusis]

Dont know if i understood it right. It was on kickstarter, then atlus (publisher) liked it and picked it up?

Failed it too, so this is basically the opposite of the Facebook/Oculus deal in that a small publisher saved a failed Kickstarter rather than a monolithic corporation buying the people behind one of the most successful Kickstarter projects.

 

[ohlawd]

Wii U?

shiiiiit I'll take it.

 

[JDSN]

Really glad this got funded, a damn shame that the kickstarter got no attention but it seems things worked out better than expected in the end. Mother made by some of the dudes behind Luigi's Mansion 2? Fine by me.

Edit: VERY ALPHA DEMO HERE. Edit2: Woops, its taken down sorry,

 

[Arzehn]

Might pick it up on Vita, depending on price.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Looks interesting. Definitely will be putting it in the maybe pile of games to keep track of until they release.

 

[Necrovex]

I hate all of you

It's seppuku time.

Spoiler

This game looks quite interesting. Gives me Mother vibe. Count me in.

 

[megalowho]

Between this and getting behind the new Tex Murphy release, I'm really into the publishing moves Atlus USA has been making as of late. Keeping it niche while also standing up for the little guy. Game has a cool premise, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

[Sophia]

I really like what I see, and the trailer at the end made me laugh with it's "disclaimer." That's always a good sign when I laugh.

 

[Squire]

Thanks for updating, Seda!

 

[Biker19]

Would be a dumbass decision. Sega West is garbage and doesn't do anything but localize Sonic games. Atlus are good at what they do, no need to fuck everything up.

Atlus USA already have its own niche audience, and a strong brand name to boot. Why would SEGA fucked it up by merging it with their incompetent western branch? Building brand name, even on niche audience isn't easy.

I concur. Sega of America is crap compared to Sega of Japan.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Why are people surprised at a Wii U version?

Eden Industries already had a build of the game, they were developing it alongside the PC version according to their Facebook.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Kind of interesting that it's on everything except for Xbox.

 

[atlusprime]

-Update-
(For those curious the tease was just a meme image of Tanaka from P3 along with a YT clip of his music theme.)

Technically, that was a tease for something else, but that's not fitting for this Thread.

For COE, I hid a slice of the "Nope" image as a separator in a Conception II newsletter. (The one for Feene, I think the subject was "The Third-Year Photographer")

 

[Seda]

sneaky sneaky

 

[Biker19]

No Xbox? Weird...

Probably because there's no audience for those types of games on Xbox platforms.

They're even skipping PS3 as well.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Lulz riding the whole Vice President protagonists thing like VEEP and House of Cards

Atlus is publishing the Tesla Effect??? *looks* oh sweet baby jesus!

<3 you Atlus.

For something this small if the effort is small it's usually worth it. But there may be headaches with Microsoft policies that just aren't worth dealing with.

 

[ktynn]

I wanna love this but the art style is rly throwing me off :-/

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

This looks so much like Earthbound to me. I bet all the characters are going to be wacky and shit as fuck.

And your party members look ridiculous too--like the old Burger King kids club cartoon. I love it.

 

[OniBarubary]

Awesome! I Kickstarted and beta-d this and was very sad to see it not make its goal. Getting it to come out is fantastic!

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Mother, is that you? Will buy on Wii U. I'm happy to see ATLUS diversify their portfolio.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Very, very, very awesome Atlus!

 

[Askherserenity]

Reminded me of Earthbound too. Something about the art and the characters just being normal people. Looking forward to this.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Yes! I even backed the game when it was on kickstarter! I'm happy that it's coming on ps4. No Xbox one version again.

 

[fernoca]

Reminds me of Earthbound! !
Getting it for PS4; Vita, Wii U and 3DS.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Oh my wow, I wasn't interested at first, but then I saw the images. That's dang beautiful art. Really happy it's comin to PC, definitely gunna get in on it!

-Just saw the gameplay vid, hype!

quad dip all at once? o.o

 

[tebunker]

I love seeing everyone being reminded of Earthbound because that was one of the Developers main inspirations. I was holding out hope it would have gotten kickstarted. Very happy to have Atlus pick it up. I want to see more and more small to medium games get picked up and funded by people like Atlus.

I am in on this for WiiU for sure.

 

[Nags]

Mother, is that you? Will buy on Wii U. I'm happy to see ATLUS diversify their portfolio.

Atlus has always been pretty diverse. It's just that many people only choose to associate them with jrpgs since that is their most popular genre.

 

[Delio]

All in for 3Ds. Looks like fun.

 

[kitchenmotors]

.

 

[Dead Prince]

probably cross buy with playstation ecosystem. hopefully that's the case.

 

[Eusis]

Atlus has always been pretty diverse. It's just that many people only choose to associate them with jrpgs since that is their most popular genre.

It's also what they almost exclusively released for long stretches of time. The last few years they've been trying to find the right western games to take on, and I think thanks to DD they've been finding a sweet spot.

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

New what it was as soon as I saw the teaser pic. Can't wait, am really looking forward to this one.
