@sunrisensoul Your right, Megaten has been on Nintendo platforms for a long time. I guess I should elaborate on what I said and say that if Nintendo owned Atlus, I don't think they would be willing to Publish games like that. There are plenty of mature games that are on Nintendo systems, but you don't really see Nintendo publishing them, though they do show support. If Atlus was more or less an in house Nintendo developer, I couldn't see Nintendo themselves publishing the games.
I honestly hope Nintendo and Sony leave Atlus be. Atlus has dedicated franchises and fanbases on both Sony and Nintendo platforms. If Nintendo or Sony buys them out, a lot of people will be missing out. Plus what would Nintendo do with existing Atlus games and franchises on other systems? Also Nintendo doesn't exactly produce M rated games, which Atlus does a lot of. SMT games of any kind are explicitly known for having dark subject matter, very mature themes, nudity, disturbing images, ect. I can hardly imagine Nintendo allowing one of their studios to produce a game like that. These elements are also. What makes Atlus games so good. Winding it down would only hurt the games. No, if anything, I hope NIS buys Atlus out. They may be somewhat small, but they're not dedicated to any any one platform and could actually put games out in Europe too, which is something Atlus normally just can't do. Plus, NIS being an extremely Japanese developer wouldn't influence Atlus in the slightest. They would just let Atlus keep on doing whatever it is their doing.
@squashiejoshie, shin megami tensei isn't very well known here in comparison to the like of final fantasy and other jrpgs. It is targeted towards a very limited audience, but has always been amazing with each installment ( in both the main series and side franchises). These games have extremely dark story lines that generally tackle some pretty mature themes.
No. Never in a thousand years. This idea should be locked up and thrown in a pit full of venomous snakes and a bag containing the foul stench that is the B.O. that resides and young teenagers. This idea deserves to be sentenced to this said pit for all eternity, never to see the light of day again.
I'm playing SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked (153 hours in and i still have 2 routes to go, loving every minute of it!) and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.
I hope this games price doesn't go way up after launch like overclocked did. I can't get enough money to pre-order it. I am still super exited for this. I wonder if it will be as good as the original.
