Damn, although I pretty much knew that, it still sucks to hear it from the horse's mouth. I really hope they bring over SMT 3, as it has a better chance of selling than shit like Cubivore.

Yeah, I hate it when they are releasing games like Tsungai, Hoshigami,Wizardary Sky Gunner, Dual Hearts, and Cubivore when they could be releasing Atlus R & D 1 games. The series is right behind Dragon Warrior and FF in Japan, but Atlus USA never seems to care.

If SMT3 is so loved and there's a great possibility it won't come out, why won't its US fans buy J-PS2s & import the darn thing just as Sakura Taisen fans did with the J-PS2/DC & its games? Someone out there will have the knowledge and patience to complete a fan translation. If one loves a game that much, it's worth the price!
In the meantime, Atlus USA shouldn't be criticized for localizing legitimately fun games like Sky Gunner, Dual Hearts, and (coming soon) Disgaea.
I hope they do release Shin Megami Tensei III here, if only it will keep a certain MegaTen fanboy (whom I'll refrain from naming, but you know who you are) from whining about Atlus releasing "inferior games" such as River City Ransom and Double Dragon.
I didn't like the first Persona - the dungeons pretty much killed it for me.
I really liked Persona 2 - the story, characters, and atmosphere were all awesome.
I'm gonna pick up Devil Kids.
And I hope this comes out in the US.
River City Ransom will probably be cool, as long as it's a remake not a port with a few additions.
I don't know about you, but I'd be very upset if Nintendo localized Space Raiders instead of giving us Wind Waker.;)Quote:

RPGs are largely story driven, so it's hard to play them if you don't understand any of the story. Sakura Taisen is an exception since there are translation faqs for it, though I admit I enjoyed playing though ST3 the first time without any translation, but I'm odd like that sometimes.Quote:

I agree, actually. :)Quote:

This though... I've played Hoshigami and Skygunner out of those listed. Hoshigami was..mediocre, but Skygunner is one fun little shooter and it, though not the others, was probably a hell of a lot easier to localise than a SMT game would be.Quote:

Most of Atlus USA's games are great- Kartia, Tactics Ogre, and Sky Gunner, but it's just annoying that they don't bring their own first party games over.
I actually have had shin megami tensei nocturne and it definately has an interesting story/atmosphere. And games with this much text do take a long time, and a lot of money to translate so its understandable why atlus is teetering on the edge of uncertainty as to a NA release.
