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

Nope. Nintendo has a good relationship with Atlus already. Sega even more since most Sonic games are exclusive to Nintendo (but not all). Should be good news for Nintendo.

So does this mean we won't be getting anymore Atlus games localized ?

If so then f#ck SEGA for purchasing them I would have preferred Square to do it.



Smart phone games. FU Sega! Even though I love Yakuza and PS. I might hate you for this one. >_>



At least this means SMT x Fire Emblem is safe and should not have problems in development (other than some delays I imagine).



Nintendo and PC gamer

It depends on what degree of acquisition we're talking about here. If Atlus' corporate culture is preserved, then their degree of localizations will largely remain untouched. If Sega's degree of control is more direct, then localizations will suffer more.

Atlus USA's continued existence is sign to watch for.

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

I think I'm going to have an Ulcer... >_<



Noooooooooooo


I hope we hear from Atlus soon. I need to hear from them that everything will remain largely unchanged.



Largely unchanged? Ha no.
