With Atlus in collaboration with Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force team, the game will be a “warriors” spin-off of Persona 5, a genre also known as “musou” where characters face large amounts of enemies at once. It is officially labeled the first action RPG in the Persona series. No release date has been given for Persona 5 Scramble, as of yet.
So they're gonna put this on the Switch as opposed to Persona 5 itself? ...Why?
If this is the closest we're going to get to a new Raidou game I'm down.
A fucking MUSOU game https://i.imgur.com/SngNlXR.png My disappointment is so great I would be more excited for a mobile game or just a port to another platform
Mainline persona has always been ps exclusive
There's also nothing wrong with jumping to other consoles. Especially with Joker's recent inclusion in Smash, this would've (fittingly) been a golden opportunity to announce a Switch port that I would fucking GUARANTEE will sell like hotcakes and instead they decide to do this.
Looks fun. Curious if it's canon or not
I wonder if Atlus wouldn't let Sakurai/Nintendo have one of the SMT characters and they used Joker instead. This screams blatant cash-grab obligation than genuine heart and soul going into a game.
At this point I'm sure the main games have some sort of secret exclusivity deal with Sony If god knows how many years of port begging isn't enough to get a main Persona game ported to a Nintendo console then fuck knows
Joker is more well known than any SMT character. That's exactly why Joker was chosen, because people know who he is and they like him. People arent familiar with Demifiend or Flynn.
Imagine if we simply all got it wrong, and instead of thinking Joker coming to Smash was a tease of Persona 5 coming to the Switch, it was this game. Atlus. Outplaying us. In all seriousness, yeah, this is kinda disappointing. People have been screaming at Atlus to put Persona 5 on Switch or even PC, and despite the usual bullshit wording of "we hear you", all we get is an expanded version that's a PS4 exclusive, and a spin off game. We're literally just waving this money around for a Switch port of Persona 5, Atlus. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD COME TAKE IT.
I hope the other games get some love in this I would love to play as Makoto Yuki or Katsuya
Sakurai loves P5 tho, I'm not sure why you think there's some big conspiracy. There's an interview with him where he praises not only the game but its UI style as well.
Yeah I'm not really upset, Persona 5 switch would be cool but these games are always neat and the new girl at the end looks like a new anti shadow weapon so that's interesting.
Remember those corrupt-a-wish threads we had back in the days? This is what would happen If I wished for Persona 5 to come to the Switch.
I imagine that Sony puts some money forward for Persona development; that's the only thing I can think of. Especially since Persona has been on every Sony console; excluding the Vita.
Shame, but I guess not unsurprising. What I'm holding out for is a P3/P4/P5 HD compilation. Or Trauma Center 6 COME ON ATLUS
Could have gone with a well known demon like Jack Frost.
Persona 4 The Golden was Vita-exclusive though Persona 3 got a PSP port/remake thing too
Don't care what platform they release it on but I want the full Persona 2 experience. They localized Innocent Sin for the PSP but not the sequel Eternal Punishment. The musou game is just something to tide me over until Royal comes out.
Once again, Joker is more popular at the time, and Jack Frost doesn't have many attacks to choose from. A Persona/Demon user makes more sense in the long run, as they're typically the face of the game. It would be like using a psycho for a borderlands rep because they're the mascot of the series. Yeah they resemble the series, but they dont have much interesting going for them. As SFC said, Sakurai chose Joker because he likes Persona 5, as well as it making more sense for Joker to be the rep, as he is the most recent main character, and the most recognizable at the moment
I included P3 PSP. Didn't know about P4 so nevermind, I stand corrected. Its been on every Sony console; including handhelds.
At least you can buy the PS1 version of Eternal Punishment on the PSN They never realised it outside the US, so to get it I had to buy a US PSN giftcard online at a 150% markup and tell Sony I lived in the White House so they'd let me redeem it
Man, I don't know what I'd do if they announced that HD compilation, let alone if it came to Steam. I mean, besides instantly reaching for the pre-order button.
There's no reason why they couldn't just make a Persona or SMT musou with characters from the whole series and just have Joker be the main focus in the advertising. Even the P5 dancing game had a bunch of mainline SMT fanservice. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107052/a6bf92be-b505-4ae6-a330-86c01be04678/image.png
Metal Gear & Final Fantasy havent been on a Nintendo console in years. Cloud is the rep that represents Squares departure from Nintendo to Playstation, and the only MGS games on Nintendo consoles are Twin Snakes & a MGS3 3DS port. Sakurai got asked by Kojima to add in Snake, dont know what happened with Cloud, and Sakurai played Persona 5 during the development of Ultimate, which inspired him to add Joker. There you go. That's why Joker is in smash over any other SMT Character. DLC slots arent so let advertisements to games on Nintendo consoles, they get in because Sakurai thinks they'd be interesting additions and he gets permission to add them to Smash.
Huh, that's unfortunate. Was hoping the actual game would come to Switch. I want to play it but I'm not buying a whole console for one exclusive.
(seriously though where is Trauma Center 6 guys)
Dang, Switch owners go fucking baited. I mean, in fairness to Atlus, everyone just kind of assumed that S meant Switch.
Though I dont get why people were so hopeful for a switch release. The most we got was a bunch of literal who twitter leakers and smash (which could be explained by the Q games). People were just setting themselves up for dissapointment tbh.
