Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth won’t have an English dub
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus finally announced earlier today that Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is heading west. In both North America and Europe, it’s scheduled for June.
Atlus has since confirmed that, for the overseas version, it will only be playable with a Japanese voice track and English subtitles. “There are no plans to add an English dub to the game at this time,” the company told IGN.
No further comments were shared, so it’s unclear why exactly Atlus isn’t going with a dub. It’s possible that they may not want to sink in extra costs as 3DS software sales have slowed and many gamers have moved on to Switch. Since we lack an explanation, fans can only speculate.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth rated in Australia, likely coming west
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth shipped on 3DS towards the end of last year. While Atlus has yet to make any localization announcements, we’re likely going to be hearing something soon.
Earlier today, Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth was rated in Australia. These classifications usually hint at overseas plans. That’s actually what happened with Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission. After it was rated in Australia, Bandai Namco confirmed this week that the game is coming to North America and Europe. Persona Q2 is probably following similar pattern here, so stay tuned.

Shin Megami Tensei V producer asks fans to wait a little while longer for news on the game
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Shin Megami Tensei V was one of the first games officially announced for Nintendo Switch, yet we’ve heard very little about it since its reveal, presumably because the game was still in its very early development stages when it was announced. The last time we heard about the game was back in August, when the game’s producer, Kazuyuki Yamai, assured fans that Atlus was hard at work on the game and that news would be shared at a later date.
Well, that date is..not quite today. In this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine, several Atlus developers shared their plans and hopes for 2019. Among them was Kazuyuki Yamai, but he didn’t really have anything substantial to share about Shin Megami Tensei V. He says that the team is still steadily working on the game, and that he’s sorry that he can’t disclose the date of the next reveal. Working with Unreal Engine 4 and implementing various details in the game is taking some more time, and he would be happy if fans could wait a little while longer for news.

Persona Q2 debut sales compared to the original
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Media Create reported this week that Persona Q2 sold 80,000 copies in its first week. The sales tracker has since provided additional tidbits about the game’s performance.
Compared to the first game, Persona Q2 didn’t do quite as well. The original managed to sell 187,000 units in its first week. Also, while that title sold through 80.64% of its initial shipment, Persona Q2 sold through 64.54%.
While that may seem a tad disappointing, Persona Q2 did have the best opening week of any 3DS game in Japan this year. It surpassed Etrian Odyssey Nexus’ number of 72,000 copies. Given that the momentum for 3DS hardware is on the downturn and interest has shifted to Switch, Persona Q2 had a decent result in the end.
