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

Hmm not good for Western fans of their games, probably.


Also I lol so hard at all the Nintendo fans who now think Nintendo should or will buy Sega xD they didn't shell out 140m $ for Atlus but definitely will shell out way, way more for Sega! Yeah right that has got to be the case :D



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Oh lord, we are going through some testing times. The moment I saw the titles I was like oh god no, no no no no no. Then I saw what was inside and it was an extended NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Please...I don't want to see Atlus making smartphone games. FU SEGA if that is what you are intending to make them do.



 

....SEGA has localized the vast majority of their games. Hell, they just brought over Hatsune Miku. The only notable games I can think of that they didn't localize have been Yakuza 5 and Valkyria Chronicles 3...and that was after the previous games in both franchises sold terribly. Atlus localizations probably won't be affected that much, unless consumers spontaneously decide to stop buying them.

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....

god dammit, Nintendo/Sony fucking 140 million for Atlus !!!

Yes,because Nintendo is just ooooh so reliable with localizing games. Remember how quickly Nintendo brought Last Story, Pandora's Tower, and Xenoblade over? Wasn't Captain Rainbow awesome? And those Fatal Frame games? Day of Disaster? And don't forget how quickly they gave Earthbound fans what they wanted when they localized Mother 3!

Seriously, comments like these crack me up...if anything, Nintendo is worse then SEGA when it comes to localization. Getting Xenoblade out of them was like pulling teeth. We had to rely on other publishers for LS and PT, and a fan  translation for Mother 3. We will NEVER get the other gams I listed. And the real kicker? Pretty much all of these games were localized in NoE, and NoA STILL wouldn't bring them over.

I can assure you, if SEGA had Mario, Zelda and Metroid, they would have absolutely NO problem bringing them over.



Goodbye localizations.



Well thats the last time we'll persona come over to the west lol

No one had faith in JRPGa.

They've been localizing everything, lately cant afford not to.

Namco and Nintendo have improved on that front, except Namco not bringing over One Piece

Come on Persona iOS!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

At least it's a third party publisher.. But forcing them into creating some iOS/Android games would be just a headshot to gaming Industry.
