Logan Booker Writes:
"ALTUS is well-known for its unique, anime-themed role-playing titles. Not quite as well-known as the formidable Square Enix, but it's secured itself a healthy portion of the market with products such as the Persona series.
Etrian Odyssey continues the trend on DS, bringing a pure Japanese role-playing experience to the handheld. It's a shame it brought frustration along for the ride.
The player is tasked with exploration, and subsequent looting, of the menacing Yggdrasil Labryinth. Up to five characters can embark on this journey, though the player is free to create, and have on-call, as many as they want."
Atlus's latest financial report reveals a net loss of over 900 million yen. Despite this, Atlus states its overall business sales have been strong.
Unfortunately that wasn't caused by a lack of sales. So they will mostly likely not expand their multiplatform catalog.
"Bring the P5R to the Switch" comments will show up in the following hours for sure
Nothing. It's just in every articles that includes Atlus, there's always some people begging for it to be release on the Switch. Sorry it's just funny. They begged for a Persona game, now they have it. Persona 5 "Scramble"
That amounts to about 8 million dollars.
The loss is more because of all they have in production, so bringing a game to switch may cost them around a million, at which they'd probably return 4-5 million, which means less of a loss.
But, because of the way corporate finances are determined, it means they may have better profits in the future, as money would have been written off this year, instead of the year of release.
Looks like someone didn't actually read the article. The posted loss is just them posting amortization from their business transfer to Sega. Their sales helped Sega this year.
With Persona 5 Royal launching this year then coming next year in N.A. their sales will be better than this year so no worries they'll be more than fine.
Looks like someone didn't actually read my comment: "Unfortunately that wasn't caused by a lack of sales".
That doesn't exactly disprove that great games sell well either - they didn't say ONLY great games sell well.
That's neither here nor there.
The loss is essentially from loan repayments following the Sega acquisition.
their great games are kinda spaced out, they really waste time and probably money making filler games in between.
I would have been worried if their sales weren't strong. Honestly Persona 5 is one of the best games ever made and it would be a blow to gaming if they stopped making similar games
Back in 2007, Atlus decided to use the Nintendo DS to do something ambitious. It brought back the days of first-person RPGs with original party members you had to customize and dungeons you needed to map. Thanks to the handheld's design, the bottom screen allowed people to practice cartography as they played. Since then, 10 games have been released, each bringing something new to adventurers.
Materia Collective is thrilled to release Reprisal, a collection of videogame remixes by artist Harry Lodes. Featuring some of the most iconic pieces of game music from titles such as Final Fantasy VII, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Okami, and many others.
