SNK starts countdown teasing a new game
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt O'Keefe(@matt_okeefe) in General Gaming, News | 0 comments
A web page on SNK’s Japan website has a countdown clock and below it the tagline “A new dawn rises.” Given the URL includes the text “snknewgame” it’s safe to expect a new title to be announced when all is said and done. There’s no guarantee it will hit a Nintendo console but, given the recent releases of their 40th Anniversary Collection and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, it’s not unlikely. The clock strikes zero next Monday at about 10pm EST.

New Atlus survey in Japan asks fans which systems they want to see Persona 6 and other games on
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Gaming, News | 64 Comments
Atlus has sent out a new survey to its Japanese customers. In it, they want to hear their fans’ opinions on a variety of topics, but mostly which games they want to see on which systems. The games range from sequels to remakes to re-releases to entirely new games and IPs.
A big topic is naturally the Persona series. Atlus is even asking fans about non-video game stuff here, asking whether fans would be interested in a new Persona board game. Another question is about interest in a non-RPG Persona game, such as a strategy game or a shooter. Atlus also mentions a hypothetical Persona 6. As mentioned before, fans can choose which systems they’d like to see these games on. The choices for the system include the Switch and the 3DS.
Naturally, you shouldn’t be jumping to any conclusions based on this survey. Atlus has sent out surveys like this in the past and the choices aren’t necessarily indicative of Atlus’ actual plans. Persona 6 on Switch is sure to be a popular choice, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually going to happen. For now, Persona fans can look forward to Persona Q2 on 3DS.
