Enjoy. Also, if you like dungeon crawlers I would recommend checking out Unchained Blades. It is a difficult game at times though. Not as good as Etrian Odyssey, but I had fun with it.

As much as I think EO is held back by the resolution and general low graphical fidelity by being on a handheld, being tied to a TV would be even worse. Despite devouring the games in long sessions, I probably would have never bothered with it if it didn't have sleep mode and the freedom to play anywhere I want.
Not to mention making new assets, moving series to the anemic Wii U install base after building the fanbase on the DS and 3DS is crazy. The series already doesn't break 50k per title AFAIK. Atlus too is busy milking all they can from the diehards they have that are willing to buy more than 2 EO games a year.

Still working with Idea Factory as far as I can see. They developed the Neptunia SRPG for Vita and they've worked on two Date-a-Live games for PS3 (and presumably the upcoming Vita ports).
I'd love to see Kenka Bancho 6 come west too, but given that it was Atlus that gave the series a try last time and it under-performed for them, I'm not sure how much they'd be willing to take another gamble on it. Different platform this time of course, but still.
Legend of Legacy I could definitely see happening though, presuming everything goes smoothly between them & FuRyu regarding Lost Dimension.

You mean Spike.Sting is a different developer. They made games like Dokapon Kingdom, Evolution, Yggdra Union, Knights in the Nightmare, etc.
Spike made games like Fire Pro Wrestling, Kenka Bancho, Conception, the Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi and Raging Blast series, etc. Spike is the one who merged with Chunsoft.
Ah hell. It happened again. It's Monolith/Monolithsoft all over again.
Ah, my apologies. Not sure why I confused it with Atlus.
Disgaea suuuuuuuucks
No it doesn't.
Not since part 2, where your healers gained EXP from doing their damned job, lol.

Besides Nintendo themselves they're basically the reason that's making me stay with the 3DS, despite me being Yuropean (thanks NISA). I own following games:
SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked
Etrian Odyssey IV
SMT: Devil Summoner - Soul Hackers
Shin Megami Tensei IV
I still plan on buying at least Persona Q, maybe EO Untold and of course Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker if they manage to release it in a timely fashion.
As happy as I am with their output though, I wish they'd make some new and experimental stuff again. The Trauma Center games and Radiant Historia mark some of my favourite experiences from last gen.

Atlus USA published the first one on PS2, but that was before NISA as a company existed.
Trauma Center would have lived if more people bought it.

I'm still mad at whoever's responsible for not bringing Trauma Team to Europe. Luckily playing it on a PAL console is pretty easy but still.
Atlus will have it on sale before you know it, that's the odd thing about them, they have sales arguably more than most publishers.
It's $50 now, but it might be on sale for $25 soon enough, depending on how long it takes their games after release to be part of their sales.
I'll likely pick it up then.
Completely true. Atlus is good (from a consumer's perspective) with sales.
I would have purchased it day 1 if I didn't have other things on my plate. As is, I'll just wait.

Capcom has done pretty good sales with Ace Attorney and there have been some good indie sales as well. And I bought Super Metroid for fucking $0.30.
But yeah, Atlus sales are pretty balling.

After a few months, I decided to add a couple of games since we have newcomers... sort of. Stella Glow has a box and a possible date as well as Legend of Legacy!

I feel that Code of Princess is an underrated game. Its very fun with a lot of detail going into the combat system, graphics, and localizaiton

I own most of their games. Was even thinking about picking up the ones I don't own on the cheap to say I have them all.
Still miffed I didn't get the outer box and CD with Soul Hackers though. Like New from Amazon Warehouse Deals and yeah.

Soul Hackers and Etrian Odyssey Untold are the 3DS games by them I enjoy the most.
EOIV, SMTIV, SMTS, Code of Princess, and Persona Q (not enjoying this one really surprised me) all really rubbed me the wrong way for one reason or another. It has less to do with their quality as games and more my picky nature and limited time to spend playing.
Excited for Legend of Legacy (terrible name) and Stellaglow.

About half of those titles (basically anything SMT or EO) related are interesting to me, so they're good in my book. I've been meaning to buy EO4 and SMTIV for way to long now, but I keep getting sucked into similarish games in my backlog
There was a time in my life when I was good for picking up pretty much any game Atlus or NIS put out in the States, but both of those companies have completely lost me. NIS because they pretty much only release weeb fanservice games and Atlus because they release the same 3 games over and over again.
I bought a 3DS like the month they announced Pokemon X/Y and have used it to play a grand total of maybe 10 or 15 hours of that game (absolutely hate it) and literally nothing else. I feel like a total idiot for having bought it.

That's a big part of why I wait so long between entries. I love the EO franchise (well...maybe a bit less after some info on the upcoming game) but EO3 filled that need in my life for a very long time and I'm only now starting to feel l like I need a new one.
Atlus's lineup was more diverse because there were far more weird third-party devs releasing DS games for them to bring over, but those days are all but over (and the small devs that are still around are almost all working on NIS/Compile Heart-esque garbage).

SMT IV
The reason I own a 3ds
The reason I own a 3ds
I played the first EO game a lot. I really loved it and I loved that that style of game was coming back... Tho I never finished it. I sunk maybe 30 hours into it and also a few dozen hours into The Dark Spire, another first person dungeon crawler that I really liked, and I was pretty much done with the genre. Haven't played any EO since then. No desire to.

That is one area Atlus really need to fix, all they ever make on their own on 3DS are EO games these days (DS2BR was vaporware for ages, think it was supposed to be out in 2013 or something).
The variety comes from what others make that they localize, that's wonderful, but Atlus are capable of so much more.
I've thought about another Persona they could attempt on 3DS (Persona Q did REALLY well), personally another P4 game (it is still the fan fav after all) in the style of SMTIV. Another suggested a Devil Survivor-style one, hmm, maybe? But SMTIV, but actually with the battles of Persona Q, could be a treat, also making sure they aren't chibi this time, since they claimed that choice was also down to it being a "crossover" with EO to match the style.
What about that trademark they had? Devilizer was it? That sounded like a shoe-in for 3DS if that ever showed up. I also thought that game they made for DS near the end should've gotten a Devil Survivor-style port to 3DS:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_to_Toki_no_Kōbō:_Kiri_no_Mori_no_Majo
As I said, they just need to do more than just EO over and over again, at least on 3DS. I'm still hoping that EO5 is actually a Wii U game, one of the games that would be a match made in heaven on Wii U with the GamePad. But alas, it's surely not happening.
Honestly it's shocking they'd been so silent about it, they announced it at the same time as Etrian Mystery Dungeon, that came out, but no word of EO5 for some reason.

Atlus is definitely a large reason why I enjoy my 3DS so much. I'd say about 35% of my retail purchases have been Atlus games, the other 35% Nintendo published, and the rest is a mix of the others.
They're the biggest supporters of the 3DS, aside from Nintendo themselves, so I've made it a point to get (eventually) all Atlus games. Super excited for Legend of Legacy as it looks like more my jam than Bravely Default did (they share similar art styles which is why I compare them).

Eh...I tried to like it, but it just didn't work out. It runs like dogshit, the bite-sized stages hurt the game big time, and the combat system impressed me at first but ultimately wasn't enough to excuse everything else.

Glad this thread got bumped,couple of things to speculate about;
-Atlus is probably bringing the Langrisser:RE to 3ds this year as well(from Harkin's podcast where he says they are bringing a game which hasn't released yet Langrisser is the title that fits the best,considering the stuff Atlus brings)if they manage to release it before FEF i think the game could do well for them(if it's any good)
-By all means Maniax team should be working on the next SMT spinoff(from CEO's comments last year to Famitsu),so when do you guys think it will be revealed?I think(hope) it will be a Strange Journey 2 or a remake of the SJ,all those Demonica assets on IV should be put to a good use,i love SJ so much i never wore anything else throught the entire game other than the Demonica(and got punished so much due to it,still worth it)
If it isn't SJ what do you guys think/hope it will be?

I will be really, really sad if that POS cash-in is the first localized Langrisser(not counting Warsong).
I wish they'd port IV and SJ or update them somehow. They're great games held back by crappy hardware(though they did the best they could).
IV was a miracle, all things considered. For me, SH was the best. IV was a great product, but SH is still the better game. IV really goes nowhere in the endgame. SH is great from start to finish.
wittengstein
Member
Yeah Langrisser looks like a cheap Awakening knock off but i still have some hope that it might turn out okay,we'll see.
I've bought SH 2 months ago but haven't played it yet,judging from your comment i'm in for a treat =)
Also what are the chances that Kaneko makes his return with the next SMT spinoff?
I hope his recent absence only meant that SJ was his passion project and decided to take some time off after that,nothing permanent.The time is right for his return.

Member
I honestly think Kaneko's all but retired. He's about letting the next generation take over, and Atlus has a lot of talent on deck.
None of them have his style, though. Only Soejima and Doi come close, but they still have no replacement for demons.

After getting into Tokyo it gets easier.
Yea, I don't know if I'll ever make it there. This dungeon I'm in just keeps getting more and more difficult, almost hilariously so. Now my party is perpetually poisoned on top of difficult enemies...

Atlus is the best! Some of the best games out there!
I would love to see an Atlus RPG on NX launch!

Atlus's output is freaking phenomenal on 3DS. To the point that my 3DS is pretty much an Atlus machine.

Same here. I'm sure I would've sold it long ago, otherwise. Nothing else has really gripped me as much.
