Meh. I don't know anything about GoT, but I'm sure it will make Atlus a ton of money. I used to hope that they'd use that money (like all that they got from Demon's Souls) to continue to localize smaller games from Japan, like those from Sting and the like. That doesn't seem to be the case though. I'm fairly certain that the old Atlus is dead and that the mainstream success of a couple games has gone to their head. I think we are witnessing Atlus having their Square Enix moment.

I was going to post something, but then I thought about it and decide not to.
There's no way I can post something without getting gang raped by those idiots.

Yeah, fuck that thread. Simply put, the success of Demon's Souls has gone to Atlus's head. The people over there acting as if Atlus never made money back when they localized niche quality games like Luminous Arc, etc.., are nuts. There are so many games made by Sting and the like that have been released in Japan over the past couple of years that are likely never going to see the light of day here because AtlusUSA has seemingly abandoned them. With the consoles that many of these games were made for now entering their twilight, I doubt they'll ever be released in America.

The truth: Atlus started dying a little bit when Tomm Hulett left and went back to Konami.

Edit!

I decided to go back and look at past Atlus game releases to see if this lack of games was all in my head. Answer, it isn't. Atlus has still been localizing good games this year, just not in the same quantity as the past. There is no denying that Atlus was really busy, especially in 2008/9, localizing so many great niche games. I think that is what some Atlus fans (myself included) would like to see more of, less Naruto and more Gungnir.

So apparently that Skyward Sword LE with the Wiimote really was limited. Amazon has stopped selling them as of a couple weeks ago it seems. I pre-ordered a copy of the game the day it was added to Amazon though, so I'm all set. Other retailers are still taking pre-orders for this LE, but I wouldn't be surprised to see another Dark Souls type situation happen.

Wait, let me get this straight: you put the UMDs you own and bought into your PSP...then the gracious folks at Sony charge you $15 to buy a game you already bought just so you can play it on this new handheld of theirs?

Horrifying.

Elsewhere, Hideo Kojima continues to troll his dedicated fanbase by having AKB48 member Haruna Kojima promote the HD versions of MGS 2&3 and Peace Walker.



The response? Some 586 likes vs. 1,689 dislikes. :lol: I love you, overreacting Japanese fans.

So I heard that Super Mario 3D Land doesn't come with an instruction manual, which is even worse than Ocarina of time's instruction paper.
