It has now been one year since they game was announced and apart from when myself and other people went out of our way finding out who the publisher was for EU, no news has happened in that year.


Here it is

[Shun]

Let us have Europe in our hearts and hope that Devil Survivor 2: Break Record is still on track this year.

It's baffling that you've yet to get SMTIV.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

But the "miracle "never happen.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It hurts to cry. :')

 

[Earthpainting]

ShogunDarius, do you derive jollies from re-opening wounds and salting them? I was just starting to forget about this.

 

[vocab]

Atlus needs to end this whole Europe crap. Either release your games in a timely fashion or don't release them at all.

 

[Prophet Steve]

E3 - BELIEVE.

Spoiler

No

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Happy anniversary to us, and an affectionate thought for people who believe zone restrictions are a good thing.

They seem to be going with the latter

 

[redcrayon]

Ha, my preorder was placed with Amazon UK almost a year ago, it's still in my order history, with them sending me an update every three months saying they still have no idea. At this point I'd be happy with a digital-only release.

 

[PirateKing]

This is why region locking fucking sucks.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

It's okay, it'll launch the same day as Dr Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I don't see what the big deal is.
It's not even a good RPG.

Spoiler

It's a FANTASTIC one and I'm so sorry you guys can't play it yet.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Gotta wonder what the fucking problem, a year is a ton of fucking time for basically no news.

Lols I was going to make the same joke except it wouldn't have been a joke.

Anyways I may not have liked the game but still sucks for the fans that have been waiting so long to check it out.

 

[TheChaos0]

I doubt there's an actual problem. Sounds more like Persona 4 Arena sitiation to me.

 

[Dragon1893]

This is fucking disgusting. Bought a 3DS when the game was announced for Europe. Now because of that fucking region lock I'm screwed. If they had just said it wasn't coming I would've imported an American 3DS instead. Thanks nintendo and atlus.

Maybe they forgot

 

[Palette Swap]

My favorite explanation was that 2013 was too crowded.
Because 2014 is pretty barren so far and there's still jackshit on the horizon.

 

[Yagharek]

This + DQVII + Rune Factory 4 are a trifecta of infuriating decisions.

 

[Semajer]

Don't worry, they'll announce SMTIV:Maniax Chronicle Edition and SMTXFE release dates at the next Nintendo Direct. Right?

Spoiler

Right?

[FluxWaveZ]

Happy anniversary!

Perhaps one day, an Atlus Europe will come into existence.

 

[Reknoc]

This + DQVII + Rune Factory 4 are a trifecta of infuriating decisions.

At least DQ isn't in a language I understand and if it ever does get localised is highly likely to get a timely euro release.

 

[Squire]

Atlus needs to end this whole Europe crap. Either release your games in a timely fashion or don't release them at all.

If I'm not mistaken the issue is their relationship with Europe is a non-starter.

 

[Takao]

Congrats on the lack of game!

 

[Kysen]

Your first mistake was buying an eu 3ds. With the sales situation as it is right now everything is hinging on Nintendo to bring it over as publishers aren't willing to take the risk. All they'd need to do is patch out the region lock.

 

[Jb]

Luckily for us, Nintendo has a mountain of great and exciting 3DS games they're about to release in its stead!
Wait.

 

[NIN90]

Goddamn it. Just put the english version on the european eShop.
It's honestly baffling how Nintendo and Atlus can't figure this out.

 

[Yagharek]

At least DQ isn't in a language I understand and if it ever does get localised is highly likely to get a timely euro release.

DQVII stings double for PAL though because the PSX version never came here and it did in the US in English at least.

 

[Earthpainting]

For those that are digital distribution-savvy, is there anything stopping Atlus USA/Nintendo Europe from publishing a game in Europe on the eShop? What kind of requirements would have to be met, aside from probably having the thing re-rated by for the PEGI system?

 

[Helloween]

It's just like being back in the 90's again, oh gee whizz how i missed that

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Tis very disappointing. I wish they'd at least address it rather than being left in the dark.

 

[vocab]

Wait.

You got tomadachi life. Please be excited.

 

[Resilient]

Fuck you Nintendo and Fuck you Atlas. I've made these posts before. I'll make them again. If you're a US citizen and you complain about not getting something before Eu/Au...I have nothing good to say to you.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Fuck you Nintendo and Fuck you Atlas.

Atlas sounds like a company that would care very much about Europe.

Well, they are self-publishing Conception II in Europe via the eShop. So this is just strange.

 

[Earthpainting]

See, that's what just baffles me. There has to be licensing issues at play here or something. I can't imagine a world where they see a bigger market for Conception II over a mainline entry in one of their most precious franchises.

 

[Resilient]

There is no time for laughter or typos.

 

[Xater]

Yeah...


Fuck you Nintendo and/or Atlus. Whoever is responsible for this mess.

 

[Recall]

Atlus hates EU.

It was the same crap with Persona 4 Arena though I suppose we did get it eventually, even though the reason for the delay was dumb.

 

[impact]

This is why region locking is a terrible practice that no one should support.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Shibata we trusted you :-/

 

[Yu Narukami]

As a European I'm already afraid of what will happen with P5.

 

[Higgins113]

There's never gonna be an update on it, is there. :-(

 

[Recall]

I put money on them region locking the crap out of the NA version.

 

[ShogunDarius]

I put money on them region locking the crap out of the NA version.

the rage that would ensue would be on an epic scale if they did that

 

[m0t0k1]

Saddest anniversary we have ever had

 

[Infernal Monkey]

I really doubt it at this point, sadly. Nintendo's had countless European Direct's since the initial announcement, yet not a single mention or update on its progress.
