Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers announced (PS4/Switch, Musou, Atlus x Koei Tecmo) (See Staff Post)

It's bit different with Cloud. Sakurai wanted a Final Fantasy character, and Cloud was by far the most popular one. Pretty simple.
Either way, Joker does confirm one thing: not just characters, but now entire franchises added to Smash are no longer decided in relation to Nintendo. If nothing else, it does open the door for the other DLC by quite a bit.
And I suppose it also should teach everyone a lesson about hyping any potential Switch releases based on Smash characters. Anything goes now.
They already have a dating simulator. It's called Fire Emblem.
absolutely. Hyrule Warriors is probably one of the best musou games by Koei Tecmo in years.
One of the best JRPGS in years (even better than P5, @ me so I know it's real!) and it desperately needs a Switch port so it can get more love.
Most popular character of the best selling game of all time from a long and trusted partner? A game that was very successful and considered for GOTY contender. A move to enhance relations with a 3rd party or to celebrate them and their support? A shocking surprise entrance? Sakurai's own personal love for P5?
Most likely a combing a lot of things. It doesn't need to be for a specific game on a Nintendo console
Yea, bc it was totally crazy to think it could have been a port with that name...
Honestly, I'm not buying more than one musuo a year and it'll probably end up being Marvel.
Why was Ryu in Smash Bros if SFV wasn't gonna be on the Switch?
Why was Solid Snake in Smash Bros if MGS4 wasn't gonna be on the Switch?
Why was Cloud in Smash Bros if FFVII REmake wasn't gonna be on the switch?

They did (Atlus, Lancarse, Silicon Studios and Intelligent Systems co-developed it) and it bombed. Super hard. Good game though.
I dunno how anyone thought it would be
arena is actually P5U anyway. And its not a secret that is being made. Its just on the backburner because ArcSys has too much as it is.
I hope it gets ported to the Switch.

Why was Captain Falcon in any Smash game after Melee?
Edit: To be abundantly clear, this is a joke.

Probably because they are 3 of the most iconic video game characters of all time, unlike Joker.
You really gotta feel sorry for all the people who will buy this thinking it is the Persona 5. Because it's in the title.
maybe switch version has some exclusive characters? they can copy those from hyrule warriors like toon link or toon zelda
you know what would be the most logical? having bayonetta in it. nintendo could allow it, her move set would work, it would totally fit in the universe fighting shadows and demons etc (also, dante was in smt3, so it would somewhat come full circle, lol)
it would hype up bayonetta 3, and would explain joker in smash. its a win win win situation
Yeah, it's weird how the did the bigger announcement first.
Not what I was saying at all. I'm saying that this was a dumb, dumb move by Atlus and I have no feeling except to laugh at it. I'm certainly not laughing at people who want to play a certain game on a certain system.
Oh man, the "why was Joker in Smash" and "why isn't P5 on Switch" discussions are still going on? What's done is done, time to move on guys.
Why would Nintendo have to allow Bayonetta? She's Sega's IP.
I understand many people will be dissapointed (musous certainly aren't my thing), but I think this makes a lot of business sense. In fact when Atlus was spreading the Persona brand with Dancing all Night and the Etrean Odyssey crossovers, it occurred to me a musou was the next logical direction.
In a world of consumer products, not absolutely every one of them will be tailored to you. This will be silly fun for die hard Persona fans looking for anything painted with the brand's aesthetics, and musou nerds will be exposed to the property.
The use of scramble in the title, with Shibuya crossing featuring so prominently in the game, is also quite neat, imo.
This + expanded release + Joker in Smash = Persona 6 (in 2024) is going to be massive for Atlus. :)

I know it's being made, I'm just hoping it won't be a 4 year gap like P4 to P4A.
He's a fun character that brings a fun stage and music from a celebrated series into Smash.
i forgot that sega owns atlus. sega owns bayonett, even better
I'm not gonna feel sorry for people who can't be bothered to do research before buying a game.
Is Persona 5 also coming to Switch? I'd heard some rumours but have been out of the loop. I've never played a Persona game and would be interested in trying it on switch.
It's pathetic. Thought era didn't like that sort of stuff either. There was a staff post that said as much in the Royal thread.
