There are six non-mobile-phone-only SMT games. There are six Persona games, nine if you count the Arena and Dancing games. There is also SMT If, which is both Persona and SMT.

Persona seems to be a Sony thing. Let there be more SMT spinoffs aside from the most popular one? We’ve only just gotten back the mainline series, after all.

That’s Ose, he’s an SMT mainstay since forever.

SMT games don’t normally get cross-company post-release ports outside of remakes of the first two SMTs.

There’s also a Brazilian made ‘port’ of Duke Nukem 3D to the Genesis. Look it up, it’s... an experience.

This is about GATE and Demonbane and the like, right? (Then again, GATE has a lot of other issues besides dubiously framed fanservice)

If it’s there on top of a good story, I’m okay with it. I’m told people are in for Yuri on Ice due to the relationship building and the feels, not the female gaze, although the fujoshi crowd may be after both.

Didn’t the Mass Effect and Dead Space PR disasters teach anyone that EA’s real fond of Twitter SNAFUs and its PR is apparently permanently staffed by incompetent people?

Many games did the same with Wii and DS, sometimes WITHOUT the game, via Download Play (like Guitar Hero did with the Roadie functions, making for crazy asymmetrical 2v2 gameplay).

There’s also several WiiU GamePad-style tablet-also-gamepad Android devices out there, some of them close in appearance to the portable mode of the Switch.

Did you not live through the StarForce nightmare age? That thing ate processor speed, ate hard drive space, fucked your registry and hurt legitimate buyers far more than pirates. I think it hurt sales of UbiSoft games much more than their steadily diminishing quality.

Because Konami doesn’t do what will make it money in the West, plain and simple. There might also be some copyright issues, like there were with the modernized rereleases of the first two Metal Gear games on mobile and as part of MGS3 Subsistence (Hollywood star based faces for all characters replaced with Shinkawa…

And yet the first Mass Effect’s did include studies of what Tali may look under her helmet.

Look who finally realized they acted like complete asshats for a decade too long! I hope it will be better than the Marathon 2 Windows port, which was the last and only shootah they brought to Windows themselves.

Well, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne and IV (and Apocalypse, I presume) all had real-world locations as well, so it was to be expected, no?

Yes. That is actually the EXACT PURPOSE of QA playthroughs.

Compare and contrast to the clusterfrak that was the Devil Survivor Overclocked localization for America (one scene has one character’s subtitles entirely in Japanese, another scene has one character’s Japanese VO, the VA direction is all over the place, etc, etc) that got worse for Europe (none of the above was fixed…

Or a Giant Zombie Gear, akin to the dinosaur’d Gear REX in Peace Walker.

Have you never last-minute-shopped for an obscenely specific Mother’s Day gift which leaves you nigh penniless after prepaying due to how online ordering works outside of the Soviet Union? You have to try it at least once in your life, I promise it's worth it.

He needed the laptop urgently enough to not have time to haggle, I presume.
