Atlus, bringing you games you would typically never get to play

 

[The End]

Can you gay marry a corporation?

Because I'd totally gay marry Atlus.

 

[Link1110]

Cool, now where are the 2 Devil Summoner games?

 

[BobbyRobby]

[chaostrophy]

Wow, the two japanese games I was most anxiously awaiting localization news on, picked up in one fell swoop!

I'll be preordering both of these. Go Atlus!

 

[Stinkles]

Bumpy Trot is the greatest game name ever conceived. It was naiive to think they'd leave it intact. Steambot Chronicles WOULD have been a good name, had we not known about Bumpy Trot.

 

[antipode]

<3 Atlus.

I'm going to have one heck of a backlog going into next-gen.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I've got wayyyyyy too many PS2 rpg's to buy before I can go next gen.

Next gen in.............2007.lol

 

[atomsk]

i'll keep trying to play through the import regardless.

but this is awesome news. the more IREM love the better.

 

[Prospero]

Where can I see Bumpy Trot screenshots? (Though I'm already sold on the game based on the title alone, to the point where I'm going to cross out "Steambot Chronicles" on the box with a Sharpie and write "Bumpy Trot" beneath it.)

 

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

In celebration, we must all blast Battle ~WANTED~ as loud as possible for the next 24 hours.

 

[Soul4ger]

I sure am happy I just bought Bumpy Trot for $9 on Play-Asia. >:O

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Any chance we might see a 40 dollar price point since we are so late in the PS2's life span?

 

[Ironclad]

Great news.

Bumpy Trot is definitely > Steambot Chronicles

 

[Kiriku]

Bumpy Trot!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow....

 

[CO_Andy]

Metal Saga looks trippy... I gotta buy it!

 

[Bebpo]

Atlus USA is awesome. Best localizer of obscure Japanese games this generation!

 

[djtiesto]

Atlus <3 <3 <3

What exactly is Bumpy Trot? I noticed IREM in the box art, interest automatically raised.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

ROX!

What would rock even harder is if they could get the US rights to Remote Control Dandy SF.

Come on Konami, give me gaming goodness; because I sure as hell ain't buying your Metal Gear Crapslevania 3D garbage for my PS2.

 

[Mr_Furious]

Atlus fucking rocks like there's no next-gen!!!!!!!
