Raidou vs The Souless Army is a PSN Classic April 1st.

NOOOOOO! MY RESALE VALUE!!!!!!!

Edit: GOtta love Atlus though. Most companies wouldn't announce things that are actually probably going to happen for April 1st.

It's okay, we've still got our sealed Raidou 2 copies with the Raiho plush.

I do, at least. :smug:

I wonder if the problem with Nocturne is Dante. They replaced him for the re-release they did in Japan recently and republishing a game with Capcom's IP in it just might not be possible without their permission.

I wonder if it'd be easier to swap out Dante for Raidou in the localized version or if it'd be easier to transplant the localized script and translate Raidou's lines in the Raidou edition.

Almost certainly the latter, but they'd still have to do retranslations of the Raidou material where it varies from Dante and do new Q&A and certifications and such to make sure their translation didn't break anything. I mean look at the European release of Overclocked where Ghostlight managed to gently caress things up despite using the same script. It's not remotely an impossible task but may not be worth it for a $10/$15 PSN re-release.

That's a little disappointing to hear. I was hoping some version of Nocturne could be released so that we might have the chance to play the game with audio that doesn't sound like it's coming from a record player.

Well give Atlus some time, surely at some point they'll decide they need more money and put out a new version of Nocturne for like the 3DS or PS3 or something.

They'll put Persona 3 Really Portable and Persona 4 Platinum before touching Nocturne I feel.

I'd say if the Vita was doing better it'd probably be a sure bet there. Maybe if Nintendo gets a 3DS successor with more horsepower out.

Not to be a downer but as much as I'd like any portable port of Nocturne, MGS3 notoriously ran like poo poo on the 3DS.

Just rip out random encounters and there you go. Ta-da. I guess you might have to re-do the battle system if people really want models instead of sprites. Either way I can't imagine it being too hard for the 3DS; Nocturne wasn't the most graphically intense PS2 game.

Atlus discovered people don't like Pewdiepie last night. The post about him playing Daylight and the apology were both taken down, but comments were tearing into Pewdiepie and recommending they work with Two Friends Play or Game Grumps. Slowbeef got a screenshot though.

Kanji gushing over Koromaru and miniature Teddy is pretty funny. I like that PQ seems to be taking the P3/P4 crew to their logical Hanna-Barbara cartoon conclusion.

Dear Atlus, please make a SMT version of Wacky Racers next, with Personas as go-karts.

Might be a little trickier than it seems-- SMTIV strictly curtailed the size of its maps, and Nocturne's are pretty sprawling. I'm sure it could be done but I'm not sure how easy it would be.

Yeah, JRPGs work so much better on handhelds. I feel the same with SRPGs as well, so Persona 5 being PS3 and the Fire Emblem crossover being Wii U really sucks (also I don't have a Wii U and don't want one for much else).

Well, we don't really have any story or gameplay information on P5. Something about being chained to society's norms and still being set in anime high school if I'm remembering correctly. It could be quite a good game but they could try something "new and revolutionary" that ends up making it horrible.

Considering literally the past 4 games were set in a high school, I don't see why P5 would be special. EP is the only exception to the rule and that's a sequel.
