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

Says good bye localizations lol.



Around the Network

Iwata could have just put his hand in his back pocket and give it to them! oh well



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Atlus USA means Sega can have Atlus make new games in Shining Force.

Also means we get Persona/SMT/EO/Trauma Center ect

Iwata's working on his relationship with Sega and Capcom.

They tried buying Bandai back in the day, think, they'll go after Sega

Localization? How about the entire Franchise. Sega is good at killing their popular franchises. 

This really puts a dampen on my spirit, today. -_-

It is not only Atlus... it is all the Index Corp... Atlus is a subsidiary.



OP updated with proper translation.

Sega will restructure the Index Corp.



The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away



A GAFer said that the original article in Japanese says...

"Sega Sammy wants Atlus to make some IOS/Smartphone games too."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it's the end.



So... does that Nintendo/Sega Exclusive Partnership thing apply to Altus as well? loll

However, as much as I would love for Nintendo to aquire Altus... I think its good that a third party like Sega got them (better than Capcom or EA purchasing them) or else every game that would have been made by Altus would be Nintendo exclusive which will be great for Nintendo gamers but bad for Sony with the persona series...

On the other hand... Sega has always been a hit or a miss... So hopefully they won't interfere with Altus
