Forums - Gaming - SEGA SAMMY Purchases Atlus (Index Corp) For 14 Billion Yen ($140 Million)

Xxain on 18 September 2013

SEGA is denying the purchase because it has not been officially announced. Compare it to a new console development. Not real till announced

The purpose of the transfer, according to the press release, is Index’s “excellent track record in the design and development of content for mobile phones,” and “on the development of home video game software,” in which the company owns “a number of prominent IPs,” such as Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Etrian Odyssey.

 

^ R.I.P. Home and portable console gaming Atlus wise - love how they say excellent track record on mobile games but shrugged off on the development of home/portables l0l

 

Hello New Games for the iOS and Android platforms! Your day of reckoning has come console peasants!


Basil show some respect to japanese publishers for trying to succeed in the mobile market. (XD)

Moments like this remind me how grateful I am for the fact the the franchises I hold the closest to my hard (Read as Mario, Zelda and Metroid) are in Nintendo´s iron grip!
...oh good, this won´t end well....

I still think it would have been a major coup if Nintendo had purchased them as rumored. But there could be worse outcomes, and while Sega hasn't had a sterling record lately, hopefully they'll handle Atlus properly.


Would be a tragedy if Sony brought them.

Why is that?


So everyone can enjoy its games and not go down with Sony.

If true this is a missed opportunity for Nintendo imo.


Nintendo has a close partnership with SEGA, so this works for them.

 

After hearing these news i let out a sighing Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

SEGA's track record with localisations lately has been terrible and this could mean the end of SMT for the west. I'm not happy with this resolution at all. Stupid sammy sega.

Would be even worse if it were Nintendo after that whole operation rainfall fiasco.

You should be glad Sony can't change them like what they did to Naughty Dog.
