The Nintendo Switch has salvaged the remains of my shattered gaming life. No longer do I feel content to sit in front of a television and plug away at video games. Between jobs, travel, family, friends, and a shrieking baby boy, I want options for how I play, when I play, and most importantly, where I play. The Switch has opened my eyes to how limited a television and a PC can be, and...
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is about as amazing of a crossover as you could hope for. Not only does it bring together the popular casts of Persona 3 and Persona 4, it also fuses together Persona’s mechanics seamlessly together with Atlus’ other killer series, Etrian Odyssey. The game was a critical hit, but I never expected a sequel to it. Boy, was I wrong! Atlus has confirmed...
SEGA is all set for a huge E3 with a handful of fan-favorite titles in tow. Thanks in part to the purchase of Atlus, its list of games extends to Yakuza, Sonic, the latest game from popular developer VanillaWare, a handful of excellent JRPGs, and even a Warhammer game. Check out the list of games and their descriptions below. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and Yakuza Kiwami Visitors...
Yesterday’s slip up on Atlus’ official website revealed three games slightly earlier than the company had planned, and today, Atlus is rolling with the punches and coming out with official announcements. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, and Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth will all be heading to North America in late 2017 and early 2018...
Persona 5 is riding high as the second-highest rated game of 2017, and Atlus has certainly noticed the broadening appeal of its once niche franchise. The series broke ground back in 2007 when the North American sleeper-hit release of Persona 3 stole the limelight from AAA franchises like Mass Effect, and its fandom has only expanded with each passing release. Longtime series Director...
Atlus is not taking it easy on the Nintendo 3DS during the handheld’s twilight years. More so than on consoles, the company carried itself through this previous gaming generation on the ongoing success of its handheld JRPGs. Its smartly designed, tiny games filled in the much-needed JRPG niche that only recently decided to start blooming again on home consoles. Atlus is definitely...
Persona 5 is finally on the North American market, bringing a much-needed revival to the series which itself revived the JRPG genre a decade ago. Fans are thrilled to finally be sinking 100 hours of their lives into being Japanese high school students, which, trust me, isn’t all that fun and glamorous in real life. Maybe that’s because actual Japanese high school kids don’t dress up...
Persona 5 has a huge list of DLC that will be available until deep into the summer. Atlus released the dates and price of each bit, and while a good amount of the content will cost an extra few bucks, the company was also sure to include free bonus content as well. See the schedule and prices on the list below. April 4, 2017 Persona 5 Healing Item Set – Free Persona 5 Japanese...
Atlus released the first trailer for its upcoming Nintendo 3DS remake Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology during its livestream event over the weekend, and the trailer shows where most of the resources went into upgrading this game. The gameplay and sprites remain mostly untouched, and instead, it’s the character art that has been given an overhaul that isn’t always for the better....
Radiant Historia isn't the only Nintendo DS JRPG that Atlus is tapping for a remake on the Nintendo 3DS. During a livestream event over the weekend, the publisher announced that it plans to give its excellent Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey a similar update on Nintendo's aging handheld. Hopefully, Atlus is able to make better adjustments to the game than its ridiculous title. Shin...
