Sega Sammy announced a new Persona 5 "game" and it's a ... Pachislot!
- Thread starter Arubedo
- Start date
Honestly would like to play one of these weird pachislots. I don't gamble but it might be a fun use of ten bucks.
Reminder that Persona 5 came to casinos before the Nintendo Switch and Joker is in Smash. lol
God I wish they picked a better rep for Atlus in Smash.

If Sega places a building in Las Vegas like Konami it's all over
For better or for worse I feel like this is a sure sign that the game is codified as culturally significant.
And unlike Konami, at least it's still been a steady drip of what appears to be well-received content outside of pachislot-only relevance. The Animation was a bit of a bust, but seems people enjoyed Royal and Strikers. In other words, feels like pachislot is absolutely fine when the series doesn't feel effectively relegated to pachislot-only relevance.

Y'all would be surprised to know how many pachislot games there are like this that never get any press because people don't need them as an excuse to be mad at a publisher.
I understand the point of making these machines in the first place cause they draw the attention of fans in the casino, or advertise the game to casino-goers.
But making a promo video like this for a themed slot machine is such a bizarre concept to me. Is there someone out there actually hyped by this? Is someone excited to go out and gamble on the Persona 5 for Reels™ slot machine specifically?

you really think people would acknowledge reality rather than use any excuse to dunk on a company?
the existence of said promo would be proof enough, no?
finally hanging with the big boys like House of the Dead and Jet Grind Radio
Persona 5 Royal is one of my favorite JRPGs and I'm utterly sick of hearing about it now. We got slot machines now? Cool, cool. Ok. Looking forward to next bit of information about the IP in the form of pencil cases, hot air balloons, gas station pump handles, napkins, NFTs, home appliances, and maybe even a cross-collaboration with Butterfingers. Let's just do literally whatever comes to mind until it's fully saturated into everything and then we move on to the next title. Because that's what fans of the game want - fucking slot machines.
This shit is not mutually a Konami thing. Reminder that Capcom made Onimusha pachislots. And one even got a console port, by none other than Sega Sammy. We even had a Bayonetta pachislot before Bayonetta 3 and don't get me started on how Kaiji season 3 is a pachislot.
If it's akechi narrating it or on the slots, it wouldnt be that removed from what japanese fans want, no
I want to say that I'm proud of you OP for not clickbaiting the title an unnecessarily getting peoples hopes up.
Technically this is the Sammy way, they've been doing Pachinko since way before they bought SEGA.
It's expected. Sega Sammy does dabble in casinos too.
Atlus still makes games so it's nothing like Konami.

Konami released one of the top three selling games in Japan last year.
A game that won't get localized. Unless the people behind Train Simulator fund it with all their insane DLC money.
SegaSammy have had slot machines making their way into casinos for a couple years now.
There's a "House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn On Reels" slot that's gotten super popular recently.
They actually seem way less shy than Konami to utilize their IPs in this gaming segment

That doesn't mean anything, it still sold over 3 million copies. Nearly 4 million at that.
And going on Amazon Japan, the 9th best selling game is currently a Konami game. Right under Monster Hunter and Nintendo games.
I still don't understand why people disliked P5A. Sure the animation was uneven and it wasn't quite up to the visual quality of the game cutscenes, but it looked fine, and it told the game's story really well I thought. The new music made for it was really good too.
if this is gonna boil down to "i don't like it, it doesn't count" then there's no point to this argument
Persona 3 and Persona 4 had pachisolts so this makes sense. A lot of popular anime/video games get these so no need to get upset, which I'm sure no one here or anywhere else online would...
Unless you think a Smash rep NEEDS to have a history on Nintendo platforms which Sakurai himself said doesn't really matter.
I don't know, something about their most popular character from their most popular game being in Smash makes sense...

I could understand your frustration if there was any indication this stuff was preventing P6 from happening but it's not. All of this merchandise exists independently of the main game. Modern games take a long time to come out, this is just Sega capitalising on the brand and keeping it relevant while the main games get made.
People get unreasonably mad at this stuff and I just think its childish.
