As I point out in just about every single post I’ve ever written about any Atlus game, European Atlus fans have really been getting dragged through the mud recently, the worst example being the two year wait to play Devil Survivor: Overclocked, an enhanced port of a DS game that still shipped with game breaking bugs not seen in any other region’s version of the game.
It’s a situation that deserves to have been addressed years ago, and it seems like that might just have happened, as Nippon Ichi Software America sat down with Siliconera and told them that they’ve reached a deal with Atlus where they’ll handle the publishing of their titles in Europe.
Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan arrived in Europe a decade ago, taking the Nintendo 3DS RPG scene by storm.
Atlus has announced a collaboration with a well-known Japanese distillery to launch the Persona series' very own whiskey, releasing tomorrow.
Only one of the games on the top ten is completely original.
90 percent of Metacrtitic's top ten highest-rated games of 2023 so far are remasters and remakes, with Hi-Fi Rush acting as the only wholly original game to make the list so far.
We might only be in March, but it seems like we've already got tons of great games to be talking about, including Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Hi-Fi Rush, Persona 4 Golden, and Metroid Prime Remastered. There is one commonality between those games, however - most of them are remakes and remasters.
This is awesome. I always feel bad for JRPG fans who live in Europe because they always seem to get games late (or not at all). Hopefully they'll get games faster and with more quality control than before.
Cool. Maybe our friends in Europe will get their games published faster.
It's a matter of re-localization. I don't think they just want to give Europe the US translation.
