aka 5 minutes.

What Duckroll thinks it is is what would be the most logical assumption, but I also don't see why they'd be announcing it now, presumably as a means to promote the Atlus Best Collection release. It doesn't make sense unless, like people are suggesting, they have some type of upgrade process in place for people who already own SMTIV.
 
I'm hoping that's what it is and it seems likely, and yeah not sure why they'd announce it so close to the re-release.

Also, did they not bother to announce this at TGS because they felt it would be overshadowed by P5 or something?

It's not even getting a week long countdown or a livestream. I don't think Atlus consider this to be especially major.

You can also see the "IV" in the top right pretty easily.

Oh man if both those games appeal to you how can you not already own one!? So many good RPGs.

I know, right? Seems like such a no-brainer. Lol.

Like I said, I was going to get one last year but then they announced the n3DS so I held off. And when that finally came out in NA the pricing (and the charger being sold separately) kinda put me off so I put the money towards a new GPU instead.

But if they wanted to maximize sales, they would either announce this months later, or release the Best Price version months ago.

If this is a updated SMT IV with new content then maybe the additional content it will be available as DLC for current owners of the game, therefore not hurting sales of this best price version.
 
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Finally Reprinted

It'll just be a reprint to troll everyone. Atlus: Thanks for marketing the reprint/re-release for us, guys, see in the new year.

This countdown hasn't been showy enough for even an HD remake announcement.

Maybe they'll just reveal the date for a livestream two months from now. :)
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

The original game did. But this is probably a revision.
Of course it is. This is why it is not so useful to release it on the same console that had the original. They will grab more sales on Vita for example. At least this is my humble opinion.
 
I'll stick with the Enhanced edition theory. Offer a digital upgrade for current owners priced at the difference between the budget edition's price and enhanced edition's price, and release the cart in 6 months or so.
 
Maybe like a Persona 2 innocent sin and eternal punishment type of thing is what i was thinking

Are the two P2 games not like two games that make up a whole? If not I've been skimping out on P2 for ages and with no reason....(I can only get Innocent Sin on PSN)
