The survey contains 49 questions, and includes questions about titles released on the Switch, and what platform players would like to see future titles in series such as Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Etrian Odyssey appear on, as well as potential remakes and ports of existing titles such as Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Dragon’s Crown Pro.
Will you be participating in the survey this year?
