Persona All-Stars racing anyone?

 

[$h@d0w]

Winter Olympics Presented by Jack Frost

 

[Soulflarz]

Fuck my life

 

[MechaX]

I... don't really see this ending too well in the long run.

 

[Daingurse]

Hmmm . . . I thought this might happen.

[funkystudent]

Persona 5 be released in Japan but never localised for anywhere else confirmed.

 

[Kazerei]

 

[Gartooth]

Pack it up folks we won't see a single Atlus game localized anymore unless Nintendo foots the bill for Sega. /s

 

[oVerde]

Microsoft, you lost it, again.

 

[LQX]

How much is 14 billion yen in real money?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Atleast we pretty much know shin megami tenseiXfire emblem is safe for now.

 

[ClintonBowman]

Sega got money like that? Oh snap!

This could be quite interesting. Do we see Virtua Fighter crossing over into other arenas? Sonic melding into the world of Shin Megami Tensei? The questions that can be asked here...

 

[scy]

Well, we had a good run.

 

[darkside31337]

Persona 5 will finally come out.

And not get localized.

 

[kayos90]

Who knows what this means.

I can only be pessimistic about this...

 

[Sophia]

Remember this is under SEGA Sammy, not SEGA specifically. Still, not the news I wanted to hear out of this situation.

 

[epmode]

Instabans on Persona 5 comments pls.

oh god oh man oh god

 

[mrjohill]

Atlus has there own localization branch don't they?

 

[Megidolaon]

Ohsnap.

Make that SMTxFire EmblemxValkyria Chronicles please

 

[KillerTravis]

I don't know how to feel, I hope they don't change anything.

 

[hwy_61]

Larry David GIFs sum things up so well, don't they?

 

[ZealousD]

I dont know how to feel, please tell me how I should feel.

Cautiously pessimistic.

 

[A Black Falcon]

So, how soon until Sega shuts down Atlus US and decides that Atlus games won't be released outside of Japan anymore?

Months wouldn't be surprising, honestly...

 

[Kincaido]

RIP localization

 

[firehawk12]

RIP Persona 5.

 

[starwarsfan541]

I'm happy, as long as sony didnt get them I am pretty happy, Nintendo would have been nice but this could be good or really bad.

 

[UberTag]

This news is disastrously awful.
Sega destroys everything it touches.
The only purchaser that would have been worse would have been Square Enix.

All our beloved Atlus franchises will now go the way of Valkyria Chronicles sequels.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ohsnap.

Make that SMTxFire EmblemxValkyria Chronicles please

oh shit

 

[wapplew]

Dreamcast 2, come on Sega!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Better buy Soul Hackers on 3DS while I have the chance then. Hmm.

 

[sixteen-bit]

More Persona pachislot games

 

[DukeTogo1300]

Maybe they actually see value in their IP's, we won't even notice their involvement...

No, that didn't make me feel any better. It will be all Persona, all digital downloads from now on, if that.

 

[Cbajd5]

I guess SMT X Fire Emblem is safe then?

I mean, Sega and Nintendo already do crossovers. So I guess Sammy's alright with them even if Atlus will be kept separate from Sega.

 

[jello44]

So is Atlus USA done? Was that GI article a send-off?

That article was in the magazine about 2 months ago.

I'm just glad it wasn't Nintendo that grabbed them, not that they would.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Vakyria Chronicles 3. Yakuza 5. Phantasy Star Online. Persona 5.

 

[Ridley327]

My immediate reaction is GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.

 

[InsaneZero]

Well, all good things...

 

[Soulflarz]

RIP localization

RIP Persona 5.

Fuck.
My.
Life.

 

[Sgblues]

Atlus USA better not go anywhere, they can localize Yakuza games now.


....................I hope

 

[RyoonZ]

This is great news. Considering the relationship of current Sega and NIntendo, we can now expect most of Atlus games to release on Nintendo platform *coughcough*Persona 5*coughcough*, not to mention the success of Ryu Ga Gotoku 1&2 HD For WiiU, this just seal the deal!

 

[Persona7]

How the fuck does sega has that much cash?

Are you trolling or just haven't bothered doing any research?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Cautiously pessimistic.

I'm gonna go with this then.

 

[$h@d0w]

Sega has so much money because of all the pachinko machines it makes.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How the fuck does sega has that much cash?

Sammy's amusement division.

 

[GuardianE]

Why do I have this sinking feeling?

 

[jj984jj]

Wow. I hope it turns out okay.

Put the Persona series on Steam please Sega!

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I could be wrong but I don't remember SEGA (I'm assuming SEGA Sammy is a subsidiary of SEGA?) having a good track record when it comes to localization.

You forgot Capcpom

 

[KillerTravis]

This explains why Persona videos were taken down from Youtube...

This is sounding more awful by the minute.

 

[MechaX]

Atlus has there own localization branch don't they?

Which could be rendered redundant with Sega of America still... kind of existing, worst case scenario.
