Forums - Gaming Discussion - Atlus has "No Plans" to release Catherine in North America

I don't buy it.  You don't make a 360 version if you don't plan to localize it.

This makes sense. I want to play it but won't be a big deal for me if they don't bring it over.

I highly doubt that ATLUS USA won't localize this. Catherine is one of the most anticipated games among western ATLUS fans. ATLUS localizes titles that are more niche than this.

Anywho I'm not going to import because if I can't understand the Japanese dialogue I see no point. Given that Catherine is basically half visual novel, it's going to be really hard to enjoy the game without being able to understand what's being said in the dialogue. It better get localized. ATLUS USA would be foolish to not localize probably their second most anticipated title (behind only Persona 5. Assuming that's in development).

Awesome find!



                                        

Ha I WISH that listing was legit. June 1st release for the localization? Only a bit over 3 months away. I doubt it would come that early. But June 1st would be nice.

Catherine is probably my most anticipated title of 2011. I loved Persona 3 and 4. And visual novels/Japanese adventure games are one of my favorite types of games (I enjoy them more than RPGs actually). Catherine is half that, half puzzle game. And the story in Catherine looks real interesting. The puzzles would probably kick my ass but apparently Persona Team is tweaking the difficulty downward for those of us who suck at puzzles.

Obviously it's all placeholder.  Either way, the company expects the game to be released here at some point.

Yeah, GameStop makes up BS about pricing and release dates all the time, but they never list something unless it's coming out.  Hell, half the time they don't list things that are coming out.



I notice they didn't deny they could release it elsewhere, EU for example...

meh, standard PR talk once again. I say localize if just to inject this medium with some truly mature interpretations of sensuality and eroticism. This is Atlus we're talking about, they're the poster boy for quirkiness. If the MegaTen franchise is released over here I'm positive that Catherine will be



@makingmusic I was thinking the same thing. It makes no sense. The 360 aint that great in Japan, I dont think the cost of having to work on 2 systems if going to cover the 360, but then again maybe it really isnt that expensive
