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 the end begins >_<

Good God No!!! That's it for the main SMT series.



Well...



Nintendo and PC gamer

Calm down ethomaz... that can't be too bad... I prefer that to a real Atlus dead.



Could be good or bad. I'm ambivalent with regard to Sega as a good publisher as of late. Rome 2 was just rushed out the door by CA and I believe Sega had a hand in it.

More translation from GAF.

セガサミーはスマートフォン向けゲームへの展開なども含め、インデックスの資産を有効活用したい考え。

To make effective use of Index's (Atlus's) assets...Sega Sammy is thinking about expanding them into smartphone games.

Sega canned Bayonetta 2, so as long as they have Nintendo hawking down their behinds all should be fine.



No ethomaz you have to be worried... Sega killed your loved Valkyrie Chronicles.

Shit... this is bad... bad... bad.



I guess we won't see Persona 5 in the West huh



I don't like this one bit. Sega is the worst when it comes to localization. Says goodbye to a beautiful days of Atlus.
And for those who wish it to be bought by nintendo. That's the worst lamest acquistion. It's not god for us gamers. Atlus is one of the great publishers that localize JRPGs and japanese games. Even I a Sony fan doesn't want Sony to acquire them.
