S as in.. Scramble. Or strikers?  like R for Royal,  and G for Golden. But sure blame ATLUS because a bunch of salty fans saw an S and lost their mind?

IF they put an A would they be at fault if people thought it was coming to Apple?

M for Mac? X for Xbox? M for Microsoft? N for Nintendo?

P for Pepsi, C for coke?

Hell look at their pattern. We have Person 3 portable, Persona Q, Persona Royal, and Persona Striker.

P,Q,R,S.  Accidental or intentional?

I was always fairly sure that P5 would end up on Swith, but not because of Joker in Smash. While I think it increased the chance, I didn't think his inclusion meant it has to happen. A lot of different companies want to collaborate with Persona 5. Fashion brands, popular Japanese mobile games like Granblue Fantasy and Puzzle & Dragon, and studios like Omega Force and (probably) Arcsys.

Atlus had put the previous Persona games on the most relevant handheld (has to be able to run the game) so I thought Switch seemed like an obvious choice.

But I did not think it would be called Persona 5 Switch. Maybe 'S' if there were some substantial differences, but not Switch. If it's the same game as its PS4 counterpart then that would only cause unnecessary problems and confusion that can be easily avoided.

I went from being certain, to 'not sure' yesterday, to not expecting it anymore today.

It would have been nice if they released it on Switch because P5 deserves to expand it's audience.
But it's Atlus decision. It may still happen at some point, but for now they killed my expectations with the trailer.

"Im surprised this coming to the "[3ds]". How are [3ds] players supposed to know who the characters are? Is basically the exact same argument when it came to the 3ds.  The same for theaterhythm games etc.  Oh and Dream drop distance etc.

But yet it is some how different when they do it for the switch as opposed to the 3ds?

Again very strange argument. Specially since yesterday you had several post that seemed very certain that it would be Persona 5 switch.

Oh like Persona Q2. That game on the 3ds that is out already? Jee if only many, many, many people pointed that out...

And yes exactly look at Cloud. It took FOUR YEARS to get that added to the switch. It never actually ever came to the wii U.  Yet there are multiple 3ds games with him.

OR hey look it is Snake which was added not because of the Nintendo games, but because KoJima's son asked for it.
