Atlus

Posted by VirtualRealityZone

Atlus has been and will be forever, my favorite game company.

About a month or two ago in the 200th Nintendo Power issue, their were companies in the magazine congratulating Nintendo on there 200th issue, Atlus being one of them. For those of you that don't know who Atlus is, they were the company that created the masterpiece "Jack Bros". Anyway...there page in the magazine had Jack frost and Jack Lantern on it. It was great to see that Atlus hasnt forgotten Jack Bros. and/or the Virtual Boy.

Haven't heard of Jack Bros. but I do love Atlus. A lot.

The only reason they've probably included them is because its one of the few games they've made in the past decade. ;)

They win for Disgaia, Riviera, and Yggdra Union.

Dood, of course they aren't going to forget them! They put them in a ton of games still. Jack Frost anyways

But like Zeta said, those games (Yggdra Union hasn't come out yet but still) are all fantastic. They are high up on my resepect ladder as far as gaming compaines go.

You mean games such as Persona?

How much does a copy of Persona go for these days, anyway?

Actually, that price seems to be the norm. Not much higher or lower. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, however, was going for about $150-$200. Then, Atlus decided to re-release the game for whatever reason. They didn't even announce it. Or if they did, they were pretty quiet about it. So, some 'new' copies were being sold on ebay for the price of originals until the word got around. I paid $140 for mine about 3 weeks before I heard the news. Anyway, I still play and love both. I hear they announced that they were going to make one for the PSP. But, there is no other news on it.

Yeah, Persona 1 & 2 are both being bundled on the same UMD, apparently. Haven't heard anything of it for a while though...

Hmm, after reading the description it sounds a lot like Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. Although since that came first, Nocturne was probably based somewhat off of Persona. Interesting! And considering I've never heard of the game until now, I have a feeling you won't find it in many game stores and that Ebay would be your best bet.

Atlus wins forever for Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Absolutely Forever.

Also, Digital Devil Saga (1 & 2) and Stella Deus were pretty good too.
