What does squid ink actually taste like? For some reason I imagine it to be oily and alkaline
SMTV is something they committed to quite a while back. I'll believe their support is not one sided when we see EO on the Switch. Everyone is expecting this to happen, and i was at the time 100% certain it will, but more and more time is passing with nothing being announced...
You mean the same company that is solely responsible for us getting Dragon Quest games localized in NA for over a decade or the same one that started promoting Monster Hunter in the west, for again, over a decade? Yeah, they're clearly so terrible at dealing with third party companies.
It might have sold more but Dead or Alive definitely has more letters than Musou, one has 11 letters, the other one only has 5.
They released games on 3DS these past couple of years like EO and PQ2.
You shouldn't only look at their Switch output when comparing the PS/Nintendo dichotomy.
This is where I disagree. their support for 3DS is nothing more than reusing assets and minimizing costs as much as possible. it doesn't mean anything for their situation with Switch. Capcom did the same, releasing many MH spin offs on 3DS only to announce and release World on PS4 as an exclusive in the Asian market.
Monster Hunter had sales potential in the US as it was a multiplayer RPG about fighting dinosaurs.
EO has, uhhh, basically no sales potential in the US.
We'll see if that gets made in general or if Atlus becomes largely SMT from now on.
True, Warriors Orochi 4 and Dynasty Warriors still did triple that. It'a a far cry from their hey day though.
I was thinking more worldwide, especially when we're considering Ni-Oh as a major game. That only did like 120k IIRC?
Wasn't that just in the first month? I assume it sold a bit more than that but yeah major bomba.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster, PS4 could end up selling worse than PS3 in Japan, and considering current trends and even stronger US focus PS5 might end up selling even worse in Japan.

Of course, and its obvious that Capcom made the right decision with MH.
I just wanted to say that their support for 3DS in past years is not an indication for their future strategy.
They released the free version very quickly this time too.
I wonder if they will release a "plus" version in the future.
Of course (I mean, unless you expect us to muse about a possible cancellation without any indication). The most recent thing I could find is from late 2018, where they said in an interview that it is taking a bit more time to adjust to UE4 than expected.
It's probably largely just Sakurai choosing things and Nintendo approving it. I think that's why Nintendo is not half as aggressive as they should be. Hero made a ton of sense with DQ11S. Banjo at least is a fan request and Microsoft has been supporting Switch quite a bit for being a platform holder (Minecraft, Cuphead, Minecraft Dungeons, and now Ori).
Joker to me shows it's partly games that Sakurai likes, because he plays a lot of games...
You are twisting facts to fit your argument.
Stick to facts please, support is evaluated by the output not the reasons behind.
Saying that Atlus and Capcom didn't support significantly the 3DS isn't true in any way, especially since MH4 was on the system and probably killed the Vita.
But I think he's right when he's saying that strong 3DS support means very little for the Switch. Atlus was just cashing in on investements they had made since the DS era. With the death of that line of consoles, everything is reset.
I don't understand why you are throwing accusations now. I didn't say Capcom and Atlus didn't support 3DS at all.
What I said is they kept reusing assets and existing technology to minimize cost and this in no way is an indicator for their future release strategy. isn't it a fact that MH moved to another platform and Atlus didn't release any Switch game for 3 years now? this is the point I wanted to make.
That's Atlus usual strategy. Catherine remaster and P5R for example aren't any different, in terms of rehashing old games, with added content as a bonus.
The only visuals we have are from the reveal trailer back in January, which was CGI.
Tastes quite a bit like squid, saltier and richer umami. It's not very heavy in its oiliness, lighter than olive oil, it's fairly alkaline, similar to maybe seaweed.
Never tried it with tomato sauce, like in the picture, wonder how it would taste with the acidic tomatoes.
Oh damn, I completely, utterly forgot about that one!
Aostia82 I was wrong, PA has linked the real gameplay trailer from October 2017.
I would second this. People are too focused on persona 5. Atlus hasn't released enough games to make a statement about loyalties and such. Atlus isn't as prolific as in the ps2 /ds days. In the time frame of p4 and p5 (console games) they released a game on ps3 and one on the wii u.
And to be honest....we are giving atlus way too much credit. They made 1 game for ps4....during it's entire run. Maybe the new ip will be a cross gen game like p5 or maybe it won't release for the next 3 years....we simply don't know. To talk about strong sony or strong nintendo support is silly. (Imo)
As far as Atlus goes though, we just haven't seen much of their other developers outside of the Persona team (who are coming with a quick game since it's an enhanced version too). It's not like we saw Etrian Odyssey or the Devil Survivor teams going elsewhere for example. They're just nowhere right now (well, the Devil Survivor team is probably behind the enhanced TMS). Keep in mind that in Atlus' case they were supporting the 3ds up late into the last year, they were one of the last developers to drop it.
Speaking of SMTV there's a lot of areas and scenes in Astral Chain that really gave me SMT vibes.
That isn't true even if you only count non-ports as they did the two Persona dancing games too.

Im pretty sure the Vita did a fine job of killing itself, even if Sony did their best to hasten it along.
It took Atlus 3 years to get a game out on PS4 too. Switch seems like it's on the same schedule.
The director of Smash Bros is a huge Persona 5 fan. Base off interviews he's given and Atlus as well. He picked Joker to be included in the pass and had less to do with Nintendo themselves picking Joker.
You're jumping to conclusions right here. It was more a favor to the director who's making Smash add a character they like.
If you said Persona 5 instead of SMTV I would have believed you.
I mean simply by being on an HD system this is going to be the most expensive SMT game by a country mile
SNK's heavy Switch support probably has more to do with Hamster selling a shitload of NeoGeo games on the system than anything.
KOFXV is going to be on Switch. XIV was looked at but SNK decided to just move ahead to the next game (probably in part because the old engine runs like crap).
If Garou 2 happens I bet that's on Switch too.
Sakurai was not the one who picked the DLC characters, though.
I really doubt Nintendo picked Terry. Sakurai has constantly talked about how King of Fighters was part of the origin story of Smash Bros. and Terry's announcement has created zero hype in the United States (though perhaps some in Latin America, no idea about how much hype was created by Terry for Japanese or European fans). A Sans costume has generated like 1000x the hype.
So he says, but Nintendo picking Joker, a PS exclusive character, makes little sense whereas Sakurai, a huge Persona fanboy, picking Joker makes far more sense. Maybe Sakurai asked for Joker or something
He downplayed his involvement. Recent interviews from him and developers suggest he was the driving force behind the recent picks.
When you think about it, the profit maximizing pick for Smash Bros was really picking Terry over Tracer, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro.
Despite all three of those non-Terry characters having really popular games on the Switch and being really popular characters and from a publisher that is very important to Nintendo.
Sakurai obviously picked the DLC characters.

How do we know KOFXV will be on Switch? Did they say anything about it?
Would Terry make a 25 or 50 character shortlist for Nintendo?
Activision: Tracer, D.Va, Crash, Spyro
Bethesda: Dragonborn, Doomguy
Square: Tifa, Terra, Vivi, Ashe, Lightning, Aerith, Steiner, Locke, Cecil, Kain, Sora, Riku, Aqua
Capcom: Dante, Leon, Chun-Li, Jill, Amaterasu
Namco: KOS-MOS, some Tekken characters
Sega: Tails, Amy
Level 5: Professor Layton
And many more beyond that as these are just off the top of my head, IDK.

IIRC they told investors that they will release their games on all consoles, and they're at least backing it up with Samurai Spirits(a few months later). Plans could obviously change but the intention seems to be there at least.
There was a press conference for investors last year.

(I'm pretty sure they meant KoF XV rather than XIV, XV is the one that is coming out next year)
I think SNK would and he's basically their mascot.
Yes, specifically they said the next new Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug and KOF games would be on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and Steam.
