The perverse reluctance of the shade of Atlus to make a new Persona title for the PS3 is now reaching farcical levels – the latest addition to the series is to be a 2D fighting game spin-off, accompanied by yet another portable remake.
The game, dubbed “Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena,” is set to hit arcades in the spring of 2012, with a console port for PS3 and Xbox 360 following in summer. Along with the expected Persona 4 characters, some characters from Persona 3 will also make an appearance.
In addition to the fighting game, the PS Vita is to see a heavily upgraded port of Persona 4 proper, dubbed “Persona 4: The Golden” – including a new character, new voicing, more anime movies, and some coop play possibilities utilising the Vita’s new features.
The online reaction of most fans seems to be one of fatigue at having to endure yet another non-RPG release (at the current rate of progress it seems the PS3 will be obsolete before it gets a fresh Persona RPG), but there still appears to be a great deal of interest in the Vita edition.
Need more characters for the beatm up preferably characters from all 4 games, and seeing the remake of 4 on the vita… I wouldnt mind getting 3 if it was remade yet again for it aswell
After seeing someone mod Tartarus as a map in Dissidia I thought….hey Persona would make a badass 2D fighter or even Dissidia type fighter
not bad… not bad….
what seem to be the problem here, artefact?
this is not persona 5
its persona 4: golden (psvita version for persona 4)
and persona 4: ultimate (fighting games)
if you really want to play persona 4, then sold your ps3 and buy a ps2 to play it.
well i definitely will buy psvita but this game not my priority for it though
also Catherine was a nice game. Atlus did nothing wrong with it. And Atlus make fighting game from persona characters? i would totally buy it.
Argh, I hate Arc System fighting games.
