Atlus has just released its annual online survey for 2021. As usual, it asks Japanese fans a number of questions about their own personal gaming habits and more. In terms of Switch-related questions, the same one from last year about possible ports is arguably the highlight. The only difference is it's no longer a Switch-only question.
As explained by Persona Central, the following question now also considers ports of previous Atlus games for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, smartphone, Steam and "other".
"If previous Atlus games (games which can be played on other hardware, without adding additional elements) were ported to different hardware, would you want to play them? Select all of the titles below that you would like to play based on platform."
Some of the games mentioned come from the Persona series (titles like Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4, Persona Q), Shin Megami Tensei series and other titles referenced include games like Etrian Odyssey. The list is now also asking if players want ports of the "Devil Survivor" series. You can view the full list over on Persona Central - it's Question 59.
Following last year's survey in February, which featured other titles like Catherine: Full Body, the same game was officially announced for the Switch in March. So, what ports would you like to see Atlus bring to the Nintendo Switch? Tell us below.

Persona 5 (Royal)!
Everything except Persona 5. That way Switch owners realise that there are other games in the series which are just as good. Plus it would be hysterical.
Bring out the DS/3DS library, those games have been stuck on handheld long enough.
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey and Dark Spire are the two big ones. Etrian Odyssey games too, especially 3. (Though honestly for EO I'd like to see an all new entry more than anything)
Getting a little past the point where porting Persona 5 would be expected. I'm sure all their resources are being spent on Persona 6 at this juncture among SMT and other sequels and spin-offs.
And like its parent company Sega, these annual surveys will probably mean next to nothing, other than to get fans riled up over a fraction of a glimmer of hope to see ports of old games.
DoDonPachi!!
I'd love Etrian Odyssey (new one rather than a port though) if they can figure out a way to make it work well on one screen without scrapping the map drawing mechanics.
Of course Persona 4,5 on Nintendo Switch!
@masterLEON Yes indeed! Still got my Saturn copy, loved that game.
Uh. Every single Atlus game?
Jokes aside, they included Odin's Sphere Leifthrasir and Dragon's Crown Pro by the end of the list. These, along with Muramasa Rebirth, would be such a treat
P4G please !!! I already played and loveD P5R But I bet a lot of people would love it to on the switch
We really gotta stop asking for just ports of old games
They will receive the same answers as every year. If they didn't get what games people want to get ported to the Switch yet then I don't know
Almost everything not on Switch yet. Heck, I might even double-dip with Strange Journey, not to mention the owned but not yet substantially probed stuff like Devil Survivor or SMT4 dilogy.
@nessisonett yeah lol. I thinks persona 5 is actually in the back end of quality for MEGATEN. I do want to play it on switch though because I don't have a ps4 and from what I played on ps3 it's a great game. The thing is that megaten games have been masterpieces and persona 5 while absolutely phenomenal is not a masterpiece. I'd argue persona 3 is better but that's subjective as they are all pretty even in quality. But yeah I wish persona fans would realize that... It's a spin off... Of a better game series. That's no diss on persona I love those games. But it's like atluss best games are unheard of because of some of their less good ones it's just kinda confusing NGL. I'd argue even the entries on the ds outdo persona by miles. Hope smt v 3 nocturne do well...
@TheLightSpirit p5 strikers is gonna not be selling great on switch because it's a seuquel to a story heavy game not a lot of people have on PS4 or PS5 because a majority vod switch owners myself included can only afford one console in the generation
I'd really like to see SMT IV get somd love on Switch as well (and I would double dip).
But hey Atlus, before asking us what we want next why not deliver on SMT V, which has been 4 years in the making at this point?
Personas 3 and 4
I really think Atlus needs to start making new games. They haven't made many lately. I've recently bought all of the EO games on 3DS, (3 on DS) so I don't really need ports. 3 would be good as it's hard to get and so expensive. But I really want is new Etrian Odyssey and new obscure RPGs not connected to any of their main series. Give us new stuff like Radiant Historia (but not a port). No more ports!!!
Persona 5r, then shut up afterwards atlus!😁
The Atlus game that I want to be ported is Snowboard Kids
Etrian Odyssey wouldn't make sense on the console, but I want everything else: Persona, SMT, Trauma Center, Devil Survivor, you name it.
Atlus is my single favorite developer in the industry.
@nessisonett Persona 5/Royal is one of my favorite Atlus games, but the toxicity of the Switch port beggers seriously makes me understand why some people would grow to start hating it. Especially when most of those same people will almost certainly ignore the fantastic SMT games hitting the console soon.
Honestly almost everything they've done.
Localisations of the S/MT games for the FC and SFC I would eat up without thinking. Obviously all the Persona games. I would even love a localisation of Kat's Run for the SFC. Anyone remember that? It's great.
@masterLEON I basically just signed in to agree with this. Sad how they are just sitting on the games when they are some of the very best in the genre.
Snowboard Kids!
It'd be cool to see a new Etrian Odyssey entry on Switch, though I'm not sure how they'd translate some of the mechanics over from the DS and 3DS.
Wouldn't mind seeing a HD version of Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology either.
I think 3 is due a remake, they need to mix FES and Portable somehow.
...and all of the main cast has HD models made, that helps.
@TheLightSpirit what I'm saying is a lot of people only have a switch. There still may be a lot of people who do have a ps4 or switch, but the people looking at the game is probably a lot lower on a console with no prior experience to the game that spoils the original game if I had to guess. And even if it doesn't most people will think they need to play the original first. I just think that newcomers to the series probably won't start on switch.
Would love to play persona 4 golden on switch, would also like atlus to remake persona 3
@DjinnFighter omg this.
@Kimyonaakuma bro I'd take a straight port of portable at this point I love that game so much
Google Translate:
I want to taste the stimulation....
okay yeah I don't think that's what it means
@Ralizah The sad thing is that it’s gotten to the point where people that have actually played a single game in the series are outnumbered by people who think Joker looks cool and listen to the soundtrack. I bet they won’t even play SMT V when it releases. Which then will reinforce to Atlus that they shouldn’t port Persona 5 as the audience isn’t there.
@burninmylight exactly! I feel they run these surveys so they can ignore them
@nessisonett if smt 3 flops on switch or 5 I will just be sad... Not for the company or anything but that so many people are busy with a lower quality spin off that they don't play some of the best games ever... Smt v I don't know about yet but I can say for certain nocturne is a lot better than p5
Atlus is just trolling at this point. The amount of money they could have made if they had spent their time porting games instead of creating these surveys is outrageous.
Friday the 13th (1989)
Wait a minute let me see if i got this right? Last year that question asked about getting Switch ports but this time they name every other relevant console EXCEPT Switch?
I gave up and got Royal on PS4, i was prepared to wait and hope as i already played the base P5 but Royal was on sale and i don't think Royal to Switch so i got it. Would be nice if all of them made it to Switch but if had to pick it would P4 Golden as its fantastic and in some ways is better then P5 Royal.
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
The Persona 2 games. On Switch.
Atlus needs to do two things:
1) Release everything they can on the Switch.
2) Stop making these damn surveys!
@Rika_Yoshitake
They definitely ask about switch ports. I just completed the survey thanks to google translate, and there basically asked what games you would want on which console. (could select multiple consoles per game) I mainly just picked EO on Switch and then told them I want new EO games over ports but would still grab the ports.
Persona 5 royal of course! There’s money to be had atlus.
@Radbot42
Ah Ok so they still mention the Switch by name as opposed to "other" as that post suggested. Good to know.
I just want a port of Persona 4 Golden. Seriously... No joke or trolling. I don't care about Persona 5 because I don't really like the characters, but I love the cast from P4 and never had a Vita and refuse to buy the PC version.
It sucks how they've completely written off Trauma Center as a franchise. The Wii made motion controls work for it; the Switch could do the same, and they could do what VOEZ did at first and be touchscreen-only if it really came down to it.
Persona from 3 to 5 and royal
Riviera: The Promised Land
Dragon's Crown looks good. That would be nice.
Snowboard Kids and the two persona q series games.
Persona 4 arena ultimax
I want Persona games on Switch.
so this is just an obligatory thing
There's so much Atlus could port they shouldn't even ask, Raidou Kuzunoha, Digital Devil Saga, Trauma Center, Devil Survivor, all Personas (especially the first three that are still trapped on PSP/PS Vita), Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown, 13 Sentinels, etc. Everything from Super Famicom, PS1, Saturn, GBC or GBA would need actual localizations or being completely remade which is so out of the question for Atlus
I'd like to see the Trauma Center series on the Switch
Easy answer: Full Atlus catalogue
Persona is whatever, I just want Vanillaware games please! I'd love to play 13 Sentinels and Odinsphere on my switch.
Is it even worth asking for Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royal at this point?
Other than that, or more so in fact, Odin Sphere: Liefthrasir, Muramasa Rebirth and Dragon’s Crown Pro, please?!!! We need Vanillaware on Switch. No, we deserve their games!
Etrian Odyssey all the way. I have all the English games and really loved the series. Dungeon crawler games are one of my favorites types of games.
All of them please, but hopefully more PS2 SMT games depending on how SMT Nocturne does.
Persona 1 & 2 really deserve to get out there to more people. P2 is my favorite mainline entry to date and in the wake of P5R and P4G's success I'd love for more people to be exposed to the darker, more character driven narratives of yesteryear with classic Persona. It's about high time they also bring Eternal Punishment's PSP remake to the West.
Also Raidou and Digital Devil Saga ports on PC please
I also wouldn't purchase P5 again anyway. I'd be happy for people that didn't play it, to play it, but I already beat it on PS4. I didn't even buy Royal because I had my fill of it the first go around. It's a great game, but it gets way too long in the tooth. The later dungeons are way too long. Game should have been 60 hours instead of 100. Just my opinion.
@nessisonett While P5 fans who have never played anything else in that franchise (or even 5 itself and only care about the MC because of Smash) are beyond annoying I do want a port simply because it's my preferred way to play rpgs. Wouldn't have finished all past Personas and SMTs if they weren't on PS Vita/3DS and it's why I've yet to try Royal, Atlus could very well release it after SMTV to not take away its spotlight.
I've already played P5 but I didn't get far into P5 Royal (meaning I probably "only" played like 25 hours or so) before I had to sell my PS4 for financial reasons, so a port of P5 Royal for Switch would be amazing.
@Bobb Muramasa wasn't published by Atlus, the only Vanillaware games the could port are Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels
Did this actually achieve anything the last time they did a poll like this?
@Zebetite These surveys have actually resulted in a number of games and ports materializing
The article mentions Catherine Full Body on Switch but this survey has also previously asked about different genres the Persona series could explore like Action RPGs and rhythm games, which directly resulted in games like Persona 5 Strikers and Persona 4 Dancing All Night. It was also because of responses to inquiries about Persona games being developed for specific platforms that we got Persona Q on 3DS
Persona 3 FES, 4, 5... Those are my personal picks but I’d be down for anything thing they choose. I’m grateful for any titles that drop on the Switch.
@Kr96 yeah... I know... still wish could get Muramasa, though 😂
Persona 4 Golden
@nessisonett because people won’t play SMT 5 they should not port p5? I guess I missed something as a good reason why. Do you care to elaborate?
If I were atlus I would starting porting the most requested game. Having a lower high risk high return rate.
Do they even have to ask????
P5R
Persona 5 and some of the 3DS Shin Megami games that are ridiculously expensive right now. Oh, and Odin's Sphere and Dragon's Crown.
Currently playing Persona 4 on PS Vita and it's awesome!
Persona 4 Golden. Nothing else.
Great more port begging. Please atlus just port all your games on every platform.
Because if there's one series thats losing out on money being stuck on 1 platform, it's SMT. Considering Nocturne hd only sold 5k more on switch than on ps4, smt is losing more or less half of it's potential sales being exclusive and that's not even counting pc
Thanks Altus. I would like the trilogy of games from the DS Castlevanias. Maybe you can take over porting duties from Konami.
KONAMI NINJA APPROVED
@Ghostchip You do realize SMTIII sold pretty good in Japan (considering it's a remaster) and did the best numbers on Switch (despite the numerous bugs both versions had at launch)? I don't undestand this false narrative that Atlus games don't sell on the platform when they've barely supported it with two ports (three if you want to count TMS, I don't) and a new title that sold decently considering it was a sequel of sorts as a reason why P5R isn't getting a port
@Quarth Unless you really care about physical media the 3DS SMT games among other Atlus games on the console get frequently discounted so they're actually really easy to pick up, especially SMT IV and Devil Survivor Overclocked on the eShop
@Bobb Absolutely! Isn’t it about time we got some Vanillaware, erm... ware on Switch? I’d buy full-priced ports of Muramasa Rebirth, Dragon’s Crown Pro and Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir in a heartbeat.
I’ve even been thinking about picking up a PS Vita so I can play those three and Persona 4 Golden again. In fact, I’d prefer a Switch port of P4G over P5R. It’s the game that got me into JRPG’s in the first place.
@Bobb
Muramasa Rebirth on Switch (bundled with all of its DLC) would indeed be sweet, but Atlus isn't the company to ask about that. Atlus didn't publish Muramasa.
@Judal27 Historically japanese aren't trilled with ports and remasters, P5R sold below expectations there and it was only when it released in the west that Atlus reported strong sales. SMTIII isn't even exclusive so that's not the problem, it sold decent but if you look at reviews the players were displeased with the shoddy audiovisual quaility, bugs that have yet to be fixed and so on
@BrintaPap No I think he means because of how fixated the Switch community is on Persona those same people will not even give SMT a chance because of how different it is structurally and tonally, because SMT doesn't have the added quirks that made Persona stand out like social sim elements and the day-to-day micromangement aspect
SMT by comparison is a lot more atmospheric and is basically just no-frills dungeon crawler with demon summoning/recruiting and in the past that's turned a lot of people off from it because it's purely just an RPG unlike Persona
Especially considering how much more popular Persona is than SMT and how much more widely known it is even to people who haven't played any of the games there's been a clear divide between those familiar with just Persona and those who've given the wider MegaTen library a try despite the fact Persona is an offshoot of that franchise
Persona 4 Golden. That is all, because that’s all the world needs.
Persona 3. And some of the SMT games from the 3DS, like 4 and Strange Journey.
@The_Pixel_King about Vanillaware, me too. About Persona, I played P4 very recently, so I'm not much in a hurry to dive again, I've played 1 through 4, so I'd rather have P5/P5R or the Arena games as I'd love to see the P3 cast in a canon game again.
@RushDawg Yeah, I know. Just some wishful thinking as I'd love a chance to play any Vanillaware game on the Switch. Let me hope for Princess Crown while I'm at it
i played all of p5 but I've only gotten about 12 hours into royal, so that'd be nice other than that i'd like to see some more of their other titles akin to Catherine since that was a blast.
Literally anything they have. P4G and P5R would be nice, but really any game they have I would take
I’m enjoying P5 now on my PS3 so I doubt I’d double dip if it came out on Switch, but I’d love to pick up P3 and P4!
@TheFrenchiestFry There's a running joke that real Persona fans haven't even played the games and gotta say that's not too far from the truth
I actually want Trauma Center back.
Yet another situation of Sega pulling a Sega
@TheFrenchiestFry I live in Europe, so I have no access to the eshop. It got discontinued not long ago.
Port ALL of the persona games(especially persona 2's games from psp...one needs to be translated though :/) AND any games.
Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 Gold would be awesome along with P5R.
And obviously all of the ds/3ds SMT games and spin offs.
I'd also love if they were on PlayStation too.
More exposure of SMT and the spin off series Persona is great.
Hell, bring the ps2 SMT spin offs to join nocturne on switch and ps4/5!
Not sure how probable this is, but I'd buy them ALL again for Switch/ps4-5.
I guess Xbox too, but not sure if there's as many that'd buy them there.
@nessisonett
SMT IV did pretty well on 3ds.
Not sure why V wouldn't do the same if not better.
Every time persona is mentioned people like you(and me of course) bring up SMT.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I can see switch owners grabbing SMT V since it is associated with persona(or just the fact it looks interesting?).
@Quarth damn didn't know that about the EU 3ds shop...
Wonder how many have just hacked their 3ds to get the smt games :/
Seems like such a no brainer to port the ds/3ds games to switch.
Persona 4 Golden! I know it's on Steam now, but my PC is Windows 7 so it can't run it. lol
Persona 3 Portable.
Persona 5: Royale (or even regular P5), P4 and P3 for that matter, too.
Quit wasting time with ports and just finish SMT V! As much as I loved the DS and 3DS SMT and Etrian Odyssey games, I'm not going to play them again. And let's be real, unless the "port" involves a heavy graphical upgrade, a lot of these games would look pretty bad on the Switch. I LOVED SMT Strange Journey, but when they rereleased it on the 3DS, the graphics were already subpar.
@shonenjump86 I think it's a tragedy that they didn't make a Trauma Center for the Wii U. That seemed like the kind of game the Wii U was made for.
Rockin' Kats on NSO?
@Kr96 I'm not saying it sold poorly if that's what you mightve been thinking. Just that half of those sales were on ps4.
That ratio should definitely be more skewered in favor of switch considering SMT has been exclusive to ninty for a while now so it's fans are on ninty consoles. Nocturne is more newer for ninty fans, it got a Direct spotlight, and there's basically double the amount of switches out there than ps4 in japan
All of that and yet half of it's sales still came from ps4. I don't doubt SMTV will outsell this HD remaster but clearly SMT still has a fanbase on other platforms. And considering it's trying to get out of Persona's shadow, its definitely missing out when potentially half of it's playerbase won't be able to buy it
Also i find it ridiculous that Royal sales are considered underwhelming in japan when it kept pace with the ps4 version of P5. As you said, japan doesn't take too well with remasters. It makes no sense that a remaster selling almost as good as the original should be considered underwhelming unless sega's expectations are just super high
Dark Spire, Etrian Odyssey and Strange Journey would be my choices. I wouldn't say no to a Devil Survivor game.
How long are they going to force people to beg for Persona 5?
This is getting into Nintendo and Earthbound 3 territory.
@Telin Yeah, it sucks. Don't know why they closed it here, while it's still up in the US.
I would buy the s### out of the vanillaware games. At full price. So long as they're released physical.
I just want the world of Etrian Odyssey to be continued on Switch. Retool some of the mechanics if you have to, it's fully possible. Oh and add multiplayer so I can dungeon crawl together with people!
P3P. It won't happen because this is Atlus we're talking about but it's still the best thing they could bring.
Ok heres what I have to say.
P5R (or at least P5 because P5S is a sequel to P5 not Royal) should be on switch and PC. We have P5S on switch and PC which is a sequel but we don't have the first game. So it HAS to come eventually.
BUT Ik that it is time to give up on P5 for NS. We have been asking for months and years and they still didn't listen. It is time to move on and give up on this
As for SMT, we don't have release dates for Nocturne HD and 5 so if anyone is saying that people will be not excited for those two games, they are for now wrong because we have no release dates for those games. Those games could just come out at the end of the year for all we know.
@haniwa
Do we? Why? Because if others haven’t played said games, they’re new to them.
For all the toxicity rampant amongst switch port beggers I place the blame squarely on Atlus' shoulders. They have been doing these surveys every year since 2017 with little to show. I get the impression that community engagement exercises like this just give the audience false hope and fuel the endless social media hype cycle towards things that don't exist and may never exist.
3D Dot Game Heroes please!
No amount of gatekeeping will prevent me asking for the Persona games on Switch. P4G is one of my all time favorites and I would double dip in a heartbeat if it came to switch. Persona 5 on Switch is loooooooong overdue. Atlus has no excuses anymore.
@Kr96 I don't think it won't succeed but I do want people who liked persona to check it out because although it does succeed it probably won't get near p5s success. Again, I think it's too bad that the people who loved p5 aren't gonna experience this game. Also in the east I think smt is much bigger I don't know for sure though but over here persona is the name people know not smt.
@nessisonett true so true!
Now lets see, no Persona games for switch besides those 3ds ones, and Persona 3 for steam because l hate the way that you basically have to hack to get the game on pc... lot of work at some point. Also thinking about Devil Survivor..hmm
Hate my comment? Then don't bother to say anything
@nessisonett
i played and finished the previous console ones (DDS, nocturne etc) and still would love to see P5R make its way to the system. and i imagine there are many other switch owners who enjoyed the other smt games be it console or the ds/3ds entrys (depending on if you consider strange journey a mainline one. i personally do)
shouldn't let a few vocal fans demanding the game come to the system ruin it for those who were patient or polite in regards to the game coming out on the system, also personally hope the smtIII remaster is fixed by the time it hits the west since that one was looking rough and i imagine wouldnt give newcomers to nocturne the best impression.
though at this point it feels like persona has branched off to become its own thing
There's no doubt Persona series will be ported to Switch, it's a matter of time, but it's taking so long!!
@Radbot42 agree they should make new games already, like a new series!
Id love a Devil Summoner Collection. Oh man that tingles me britches.
@nessisonett Want to know what else would be hysterical?
Them releasing Persona 5 for Switch.
Oh, and you not making a comment like that ever again
Do we really need to remind them again that Persona isn’t a Sony exclusive?
@Ghostchip Nocturne and it's soundtrack I live by. Best Shin Megami...
Just give me persona 2:eternal punishment and innocent sin in one package and I’ll be happy.
Why they even bother to ask? they know the game we want. They will end up releasing some persona dancing all night anyway
I must ask, if the survey is specifically addressing the Japonese market. Why is this posted here? Why specifically post that head line with THAT thumbnail, in a site focused on Nintendo, unless you are fully aware you are just going to help flood yet another survey with an endless flood of morons port begging for that seemingly bottomless pit of idiocy, again. But just didn't care as long as it got you some easy clicks.
There IS a freaking western survey people, this LITERALLY doesn't concern us.
Persona 5 was a mistake.
For the love of YHVH, just focus on getting SMT V out this year. Then we’ll take remakes of the first two games. Thanks.
@Starcakes Gotta get that clicks somehow
I mostly want the PSP Persona 1 and 2 remakes. If we got P3FES and P4Golden I'd consider grabbing them - I didn't finish either vanilla game back on PS2 and didn't have the will to start either over back then, just like I have no desire for P5R since I beat P5 a few years back.
If we're going beyond Persona, I would consider buying Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 if ported. But realistically these are all long add games and I don't have that much time anymore. I bought the Soul Hackers rerelease on 3DS and maybe played 10 hours before stopping. These games need to have some modern QOL additions.
@Entrr_username And why would that be hysterical? It would give those slimy man children exactly what they want.
@Starcakes
The 5th question literally asks where outside of Japan you live, also majority of the questions pertain to switch owners, most of the questions are asking about ports . Obviously Atlus is expecting feedback from fans worldwide...did you even read the article or the corresponding links or did you just decide to be triggered over a headline and thumbnail?
Persona 4 and 5. Please make it happen Altus
@Xenomorth He’s saying it would be hysterical for atlus to port every persona game EXCEPT P5 because it would in fact not give those slimy man children what they want.
@Xenomorth Because people like you and @nessisonett aren't any better than those "slimy man-children". They're just games
Persona 5 Royal please :3
trauma center....please
@TheFox i mean, they rereleased trauma team on the wii u but that doesn't really count i guess
@Asthmalxrd I suppose I should give credit to Atlus for adapting to the fact that no matter what they did, their survey would just get hi-jacked by persona 5 port beggars anyways.
Of course we wouldn't have gotten here if games media hadn't fostered that sort of reaction for 3 freaking years in a row. So yeah, sorry, but after seeing the same none sense play out 3 times, I jumped the gun. My apologies for what it is worth.
And no, I didn't enter the survey. But now that you have corrected me, I might, just to try to get 13 Sentinels on more platforms because that game seriously deserves more than it got. Even if I know it's futile.
It’s like Altus loves to troll. They already know what people want. PS5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden possibly Persona 3.
Even though I just bought it, I would rebuy muramasa rebirth for switch in a heartbeat. As a day one wii buyer I think that was the first time (and only) I felt honestly wronged by a game dev when they ported the game to vita instead of a wiiu rerelease. Such a great game!
I would also buy any vanillaware game a second or third time on Switch.
Oh, I don't know..... Persona 5 !
Seeing how Persona 5 Strikers has made it onto the Switch and how there was a Persona 5 crossover with Dragalia Lost, I think it's pretty clear to me that there is some undisclosed exclusivity deal between Atlus and Sony that restricts mainline Persona games to PlayStation consoles (and the same can be said with Shin Megami Tensei on Nintendo consoles), probably for a pretty long period of timed exclusivity. At this point, is it even worth requesting at this point?
No more games! We enjoy not being able to play a selection of winners, naturally.
@Starcakes I definitely see where you’re coming from but I get why P5 fans are frustrated honestly they’ve been telling atlus they’ll throw money at them just to get these surveys every year asking what they want and being ignored,I probably wouldn’t touch P5 on the switch since I’ve played the original and royal on PS4 and imo strikers is pretty ugly on switch even in docked mode but if it means earlier entry’s can get love on the system I’m all for it with that said I would kill for all the vanillaware games to come to switch(witch is even mentioned in the survey) I’ll admit I haven’t gotten around to 13 sentinels because my wife hijacked our ps4 but it’s definitely up there in my most wanted list.
Avatar Tuner!
I know I'm a minority here, because otherwise it would have happened already. But how about PERSONA 5 GODDAMMIT
@Daigoras my personal favorite is strange journey. I love this series so much lol
Was all set to do my duty and vote for Persona 5, only to have "Questionnaire time: Approximately 45 minutes" appear. Sorry, but ain't no one got time for that.
@haniwa agree with you 100%
What I get from this is they don't listen to what people want for ports at any other time of year for them to be completely oblivious to what people are asking for.
I mean... how many times can we all just say "yes"? As in "yes, all of it".
@Wilforce But...why? It's still like undoubtedly the best version of the game even if it comes to other consoles
I’m gonna be the guy requesting Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest.
@Shadowthrone Funny you say that considering I'm pretty sure the developers at Atlus said that ports like Catherine Full Body and SMT Nocturne HD happened BECAUSE of the surveys specifically
Maybe the demand for Persona 5 isn't nearly as big worldwide as people think it is
@Asthmalxrd Ehh, no? He clearly said it would be hysterical for them to release it, not release everything but P5
Persona 5 AND Persona 3 are the emergency asks. They've both been platform locked for far too long, and Persona 3 needs a definitive version instead of forcing people to choose between inferior gameplay/content (P3FES) and inferior presentation (P3P).
I would be so happy if the SMT titles from PS2 were ported to switch. This includes Summoner and Digital Devil Saga.
Altus the games that should have a port would shin megami tensei persona 2 innocent sin, shin megami tensei IV, and Shin megami tensei Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon
@masterLEON Need all the Cave shmups on Switch!
A remake of Rockin' Kats!
Seriously?! Do we NEED to say we want Persona 5 (Royal) ?
@Kr96
It’s a nice thought- strangely ports are shifting towards games from last year right?
As much as last gen games are nice, things at least Wii/Ds age trauma/EO 3 seems better and much older hard to access IPs the best for ports eg that 90s hacker redux treatment on a saturn game.
Thanks for the titles to check out.
I would love to get the Raidou games ported to Switch, and if not those, then Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, maybe as a collection for both games. Just anything that isn't Persona 5 Royal
This just in...my Science Girl machine learning program has filtered the highest impact comment... yes... its from:
@BloodNinja
The DS Castlevanias! You are the master konami ninja! I think i peed a lil bit.
I just want a new Trauma Centre game, or a collection of some kind.
@TheFox : I had been saying that throughout the lifespan of the Wii U. I had also said the same of Crazy Taxi. The Gamepad could have been used as a GPS and/or a steering wheel. There were so many possibilities that had gone unrealised.
I was also (foolishly) hopeful that the 6 month delay of the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs was due to implementation of the Gamepad (man, was the concept PERFECT for it), but it was just a barebones port. Ubisoft, in typical fashion, charged full price at launch and didn't bother to port over the DLC expansion that was released on other platforms.
@nyaago : That was released on Wii. And it was exclusive to the U.S. and Japan, so a lot of fans had missed out.
@Xenomorth “ Everything except Persona 5. That way Switch owners realise that there are other games in the series which are just as good. Plus it would be hysterical.” He literally said everything but persona 5...idk who taught you reading comprehension but I’d be pretty mad at them if I were you...
@WagnerDDS
Good insight- You are right
It is likely more a ploy for user data and hype far more than an opinion gathering tool.
As an EO girl I know little about persona; but i know 5 is (royal) ...
Steambot Chronicles! But seriously, I would pay way to much to be able to play that game again.
Run Saber. Do it, eh.
Ah yes, the annual Atlus "tell us what you want so we can ignore it" survey. My favorite time of year!
Why are they teasing us
@AlphaElite Nocturne HD and Full Body literally happened because of the survey. I'm pretty sure they're listening.
How about actually giving us SMT 5 before they start wondering what other games to port. I'd love to see the whole 3DS library moved over though. If they can do TWEWY with only one screen, things like Etrian series shouldn't be a problem.
3D Dot Game Heroes would be awesome, especially considering Nintendo doesn’t care about Zelda’s 35th Anniversary!
All I want is a new Etrian Odyssey game, please and thank you.
@rfelixvulture Dark Spire rules. I’d dig a new Etrian Odyssey if they could make it work somehow on switch.
@Dr_G_Lemaitre LMFAO
I needed that.
Wait, not the pee, um
KONAMI NINJA APPROVED
Persona 5/4 on xbox please. I would love that
etrian odyssey, etrian odyssey, etrian odyssey, etrian odyssey, etrian odyssey, etrian odyssey etc etc etc
Run Saber.
Preferably on the SNES app so we can get multiplayer online.
@The_Pixel_King Persona 4 Golden was specifically mentioned as an example to re-release on modern consoles. The original Persona games were mentioned for consideration to remake. I wish I took a screenshot of the survey for what games they were considering... I don't feel like going through 50-somewhat questions again to get to that section.
I wish the thing was easier to answer if you don't speak Japanese. Half of the time I wasn't sure if I was saying the opposite of what I was trying to say. Other than that, PORT OR REMAKE EVERYTHING! I'll buy damn near anything they put out, I just want more Atlus!
The Power Instinct Anthology
Is this a joke? Persona 5 Royal of course!
Trauma Team would be cool
Huh. I can’t possibly imagine what the most requested one will be.
Puzzle Boy/Kwirk the Chilled Tomato!
Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver.
Too excited for SMT V to port beg for anything else right now. Ask me next week.
A full collection of all the original Nitrome flash games with a remastered soundtrack. I would easily pay $100 for that.
I want ports of every single Vanillaware game released by Atlus. Every single one.
They keep asking and then keep doing nothing. EVERYONE knows we want P5R on switch and every year they do nothing about it.
Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner series etc from PS2...
P/s: I am a big fan of Persona 3, so i hope one day Atlus/SEGA will decided to remake that version with graphic from Persona 3 Dancing ))).
All the options Atlus provided is all I want, Except for Stella Glow and maybe a Tokyo Mirage Sessions Sequel.
Give us Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (1995) and Princess Crown (1997).
Why do they bother asking? I thought we've made it clear what we want from the? They know we want the persona series on switch and same with SMT. Also, why do they keep asking if there not gonna do it?
@Expa0
You and I may be the only two people who even remember the dark spire.
But holy smokes, I'd love to see a re-release of that.
Snowboard kids!
Probly not atlus related, but I would Love a new Valkyrie profile game made the for switch. The ds one is my fav. Never played the psp one or mobile one.
Atlas - whatever you want is great. I want to redirect and tell Level 5 to port Fantasy Life to the switch!
I would like Persona 2 series and Digital Devil Saga along with P5 Royal.
I adore Etrian Odyssey, but it's just not gonna be the same without a second screen.
Just make a new Etrian Odyssey for Switch.
Persona 5 Royal, Radiant Historia, Persona Arena, Trauma Team series, Muramasa...
(I imagine adapted Etrian Odyssey series (IV?) would be popular. As would Persona 4).
Maybe some more SMT!?
Odinsphere?! Dragon's Crown?!
A lot of possiblities! Argh!
(Probably the majority of anything in the mentions above!)
Luminous freaking Arc series baby! I never got to complete each game.
bring on a persona 3 fes and persona 4 gold bundle my dudes
I would love a one stop shop for Persona 1-5. It HAS to happen at some point, right?
Any Person Game Will be appreciated
Devil Survivor Series please. It's underrated
I would like to have Digital Devil Saga for Switch and PS4.
Trap Gunner for Switch!
@burninmylight
So you think Atlus spends resources creating surveys to then not use the collected data? As stated by some Atlus dev SMT III Remaster, Catherine Switch port and more have been a result of surveys like that.
I loved Catherine: Full Body! If we're talking straight ports with no added content, then that unfortunately means no Persona 3 FES with the female protag and Vincent cameo from P3P. ☹️
But if I had to pick ten Atlus games, I'm gonna pick Persona 3 FES, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal, 3D Dot Game Heroes, SMT IV, the Persona: Endless Night Collection, and Dokapon Kingdom, and P4 Arena Ultimax. I tried not to include all the persona games, but if the series is made available for Switch at all, it should be a lot of them to make up for the decades of Playstation exclusivity.
Cubivore (Doubutsu Banchou)
@Takosuke Right? They have so many other games they can bring over but I feel they're playing it safe by being the "Persona" company.
The Trauma Center series, although really I'd prefer a Trauma Team 2. If they released a bundle with Trauma Center, Trauma Center 2, New Blood and Trauma Team Id buy it day one.
Skygunner, Trauma Team, anything by VanillaWare, Shinning Force. Make it happen.
This is exactly why I don't like atlus because they know darn well what games people want on these consoles. It's common sense. They already know that Nintendo fans want Persona 5. They know Xbox fans want that game too. They already know PlayStation fans want the numbered shin Megami series. They know darn well that what they should do is just release all of their games on all consoles without any exclusivity deals. But they want to front as if they don't know. this is what pisses me off about this company
@Bobb Muramasa is a forgotten masterpiece that should be on every system possible imo
Persona 4, Persona 3 fps, Persona Q 1 and 3, devil survivor 2, overclocked.
@nessisonett Not as "hysterical" as Breath of the Wild 2 being only playable on the possible Switch Pro. Let's hope that is not the case.
If Atlus can port Odin Sphere to the Switch, I'd be down with that, especially if it leads to a sequel or prequel.
@Deady I forgot to mention Knights in the Nightmare, a game that very few have played and that I would love to play on the Switch. I think they'll find a way to make EO work on the Switch sooner or later
Ppheeeew! Did the whole survey. That was time consuming, but hope it bears fruit
@nessisonett they aren't smart enough to realize that, if persona 5 was included?
@RowdySunstrider is it in japanese?
That's quite a nerve asking that after releasing Persona 5 Strikers but not the original game.
"Did you guys want aaaanything else?"
@Ghostchip
That’s not true.
Persona 5 Strikers is doing exceptionally well on Switch.
PS4 version topped out at #40 on Amazon US, with Switch version at #60, which is incredibly small gap between them. Furthermore, both games have fallen to the #250 range, both within 1 or 2 slots of each other, basically equal.
It’s also broken top 30 on Nintendo eShop.
Even if it doesn’t sell the PS version (which, it won’t), it’s still holding its own incredibly well, especially given the fact there’s a smaller install base and no pre-existing fan base on the platform to boost sales.
And the game is downright excellent by the way. It’s a real Persona game, just with action combat and a few streamlined systems (no big time management). Same great voice actors, same great music, great story, same great writing and characters, very similar mechanics, and those that have been changed have been integrated into the new systems, like all out attacks, weaknesses, buffs, Persona attacks costing HP or SP to use, Persona Fusion, etc.
Anyone asking for Persona on Switch, who hasn’t bought this game, doesn’t know what they’re asking for. And you don’t need to play Persona 5 to play this. It explains everything from the perspective of a newcomer who knows nothing via Sophia, and has a separate story unrelated to the events of P5.
SSX Tricky would be nice, but not sure that's something Atlus can help with.
I want my trauma center HD collection and I want it now!
@twztid13 Yup. ’tis indeed in Japanese.
Friday the 13th - but don't make throwing objects go in an arch this time please.
@JaxonH It's Amazing!
SMT 1! SMT 2! SMT 4! Persona 5 Royal! Persona 4 Golden! Persona 3 FES! Anything!!!
@Bizzyb Agreed. I've been playing strikers and am loving it. I need the og!
@Miadaskate Only reason we know about that game these days:
"Hey All, Scott Here!"
@Asthmalxrd agreed
@Asthmalxrd i'm not the most tech inclined person, bbut i feel's it decent on switch
@Mgalens i feel like more people know abut it than smt.
@Kr96i only have the switch, so i'm open to all. but yeah i have been rooting for p5r
Who wouldn't want a Snowbow(ard) Kids 1 & 2 double pack
@Gaeus So you think Atlus bases its time, budget and resources based on surveys with a limited scope that isn't indicative of the greater gaming community?
As I said in my first post, Atlus and Sega do this every year, but where are all the ports and new games from beloved IPs that commonly top the lists in these surveys?
@RowdySunstrider aww too bad. I tried to see if it would auto translate, but once u get into the survey, my browser won't auto translate, so even tho i could get the translated questions from gaming sites, the ones that need typed answers would be tough to have to write in Japanese, & I'm sure they wouldn't accept english since it's meant to be for Japan. I really like this dev & really wish they would consider the opinions of other parts of the world, but i understand why it's Japan only.
@JaxonH really? I've only played 3 and some of 4 not 5 if strikers doesn't spoil plot points of 5 I'll pick it up definitely
@Ghostchip
It's a different story with different antagonist so ya, it's pretty much it's own thing.
Stella glow!!! Please
Insert #freepersona tweet.
I hate fanboys, but I also hate port beggars.
@Ghostchip you realize SMT is a spin off of Megami Tensei right?
Persona is great for other reasons. Chill.
@Trajan nah man I'm a huge persona fan depending on the day I think about my time with p3 more fondly than megaten. My point is they are both great games even if they are different and persona fans should definitely try these games if they have the chance.
Atlus... remaster/remake Persona's for Switch... Persona 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, revive the Trauma Center Series (would be great now with the improved motion control tech of day), and make a new Catherine with more comprehensive dating/relationship aspects & less repetitive puzzles! All on Switch of course!
Devil survivor 2 record breaker with the durarara dlc
Why does everyone want P5 to be on switch. I get it why it should be thanks to strikers being the sequel but if Atlus isn’t gonna listen then just move on.
Also who cares about Persona as we are getting TWO SMT games on NS soon.
One in May and the other one unknown
@Asthmalxrd
Wish they release BOTH games on pap. One of them wasn't released..
Now many are depending on a fan translation of it.
But I'd love if they released both on Switch. And also the ps2 SMT games. Could do it for ps4/5 and switch, I'd think they would make a killing.
Bring over SMT 4 to switch.
@Telin we do have Nocturne HD coming and that is a PS2 game
I am going to wait until summer and hold off from Nocturne for know for a few reasons.
1. technical issues so wait for reviews
2. Persona 25th Anniversary so I am gonna wait and see what Atlus (or maybe SEGA) annoucnes.
OK everyone say persona and etc but what about trauma team/center like it's been 11 years since we got a new gamw
@Rpg-lover nah they need another trauma center/team game too
