MacLovin Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 What's going to happen to Banpresto and SRW? I'm just hoping that Microsoft never gets their hands on Atlus. Nintendo/Sony would probobly be the most likely of the possible scenarios. SANGER ZONVOLT FOR SMASH 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen Yang Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 What do you mean "What's going to happen to Banpresto and SRW"? Banpresto has always been a subsidiary of Bandai (and now Bandai-Namco), and as we can see, they've been productive with SRWs. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I imagine there's probably going to be rage no matter if Sony or Nintendo buys Atlus. Hopefully a third party that doesn't suck ass picks them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auben Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Best scenario in this event is that another good third party buys Atlus so everything goes on how they went before the bankruptcy. Otherwise, if it's completely Nintendo VS. Sony, Nintendo deserves them the most. I mean, Sony gets Persona, while Nintendo gets Shin Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey and Trauma Center. I'd mention Dept. Heaven, but both Nintendo and Sony get some of the games from the series. And I guess I could mention independent titles like Catherine, but there are too many to look up.

I don't see how any company could "deserve" to buy another one more than the other. Sony and Nintendo especially have been pretty shady in the past, if either of them purchases Atlus it will be because they had the money and desire to do so, not because either of them deserved it. Either way Sony seems more focused on creating new talent rather than buying existing talent, so I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't even bidding.

I was trying to go for which company receives the most from Atlus, so the majority of Atlus' projects are kept the same. Something along those lines, Still, a third party buying them is the best case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyknightXi Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Just to be sure, who IS bidding on getting jurisdiction over Atlus? I'm kind of hoping for Koei... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This made me lol at first, but then I realized, that would be kind of awesome... Warriors Orochi 4 or something, guest character Flynn or Hitoshura... and for the lulz FExSMT turns into......

Auben Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's over, guys. It's over. R.I.P. localization. It's fucking over. Sega hates the west, and they'll go out of their way to make sure the west doesn't get any games. So long, Persona 5. It would have been fun.

Jyosua Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Lol, if anything this will likely push Sega to do more localization, now that they have a fantastic localization team under their belt. Also, I told you so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinRPGamer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Now the only hope that remains is that Sega Sammy keeps Atlus and Sega separate because if not... On the other hand it might mean localization incidents like VC3 won't happen anymore but the glass half empty from this POV Edited September 18, 2013 by ShinRPGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 They've handled Relic well, so there's hope indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinRPGamer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 They've handled Relic well, so there's hope indeed. Yes but on the other hand VC3, Yukuza 5, the Shining Force fiasco, All of Sakura Wars except the 5th game, the majority of Hatsune Miku, the abandonment of IP's that isn't a blue cartoon rat, PSO2, and we might be adding ruining Atlus to the list.

Fala Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well, we'll just have to see. And there is no way in hell that SEGA wouldn't release Persona 5 overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
