Hey there, my mischievous koopalings!
This week on NEP, we’re doing a special feature on just how much we adore Reggie Fils-Aimé: our favorite moments, how he helped define a new era of Nintendo and the games industry, and how he interacted with the fans on an intimate level. Plus, who is Doug Bowser and why are we looking forward to him? Then we go deep, DEEP into the Xbox Game Pass for Switch rumors by having a great discussion on the industry moving forward, how Microsoft is trying to have it evolve with this new tier of streaming and distribution, and the infrastructure they depend on. Plus, so much more! We hope you enjoy our insight.
A big thank you to all of our listeners and to those who share the podcast and contribute to NEP’s continued growth! Check below for more details and timestamps.
Atlus survey asks about interest in Switch ports for its IPs and more
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Atlus launched an in-depth survey today. It asks about topics such as how fans were introduced to their franchises, which game in the series they’ve played first, and more.
One particularly interesting question concerns what fans want to see from their IPs in the future. Participants of the survey are able to check various options, including a “Nintendo Switch Port”, for a few of Atlus’ franchises. This is an option when asked about Catherine, Dragon’s Crown, Persona, and Shin Megami Tensei. However, the choices for Etrian Odyssey only mention DLC, merchandise, remake/remaster, sequel/next installment, and “other”.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth won’t have an English dub
Posted on 6 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 6 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.
