Atlus-published PSP games get huge price drop on PSN

Posted on March 28, 2012 by John Scalzo

Atlus wants to takeover your PSP or Vita with their “Re-Vita-lized PSN Price Drop Event.” The publisher has slashed the prices of their PlayStation Network games by 25-50%, meaning that now is the best time to dive into a quirky Japanese RPG (or several, which I’m sure Atlus would prefer).

Here’s the full list of “Re-Vita-lized” titles and their new prices:

  • Persona (New Price: $19.99, Original Price: $39.99)
  • Persona 2: Innocent Sin (New Price: $29.99, Original Price: $39.99)
  • Persona 3 Portable (New Price: $19.99, Original Price: $39.99)
  • Knights in the Nightmare (New Price: $14.99, Original Price: $29.99)
  • Riviera: The Promised Land (New Price: $9.99, Original Price: $14.99)
  • Yggdra Union (New Price: $9.99, Original Price: $14.99)

  • Crimson Gem Saga (New Price: $14.99, Original Price: $29.99)
  • Hexyz Force (New Price: $14.99, Original Price: $29.99)

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Whew! I’ve had a horrible flu the last few days that basically knocked me out of commission. I’m still dragging a bit – I’ve got that slightly stupid sick feeling – but I’m out of bed, and that’s what’s important! I’m back with a vengeance, ready to deliver you the hottest scoops on the Internet!

Let’s see, what’s going on? Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is the recently released Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 Innocent Sin by Atlus. This PSP remake – released in America for the first time – is just $29.99 today. Fans of the series who can’t afford it at $39.99 might think $10 off isn’t the best deal, but if it’s enough of a discount for you, you know what I say! Scoop it up :)

What else, you asked? Well, there’s one Lightning Deal up at Amazon as well:

2 PM PDT/5 PM EST: For those who love the classic gaming experience, this handheld breakthrough is sure to guarantee hours of fun on the go. (Could this be the PSP Go? No…)

New Releases: Gears of War 3, Persona 2, Kirby Mass Attack, More

Posted on September 17, 2011 by John Scalzo

Are you ready to finish the fight with the Locust and the Lambent? I hope so because Microsoft and Epic Games plan to release Gears of War 3 in three different configurations this week: a standard edition, a Limited Edition and a $150 Epic Edition. A Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 console bundle is also on the schedule.

Atlus is making a different hugely anticipated game available this week with Shin Megami Tensei Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP. Innocent Sin was originally released on the PSone in Japan, but has never made it to America until now.

Rounding out this week’s big releases is a pair of DS games: the crazy platforming of Kirby: Mass Attack and and monster-raising of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2.

Check out the full list of the rest of this week’s new releases after the break. (more…)

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Sometimes, I go for days at a time without offering up a t-shirt of the day. Today there are two that I feel I might not be able to live without! But first: today’s deals!

Fortunately, there’s not much to report today. Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is Nintendo’s Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for the Nintendo DS, on sale for $19.99. This latest addition to the Golden Sun saga “takes place 30 years after the final events of the second game, when the Golden Sun Effect occurred” and uses the touch control for the battle system. Scoop it up!

Don’t forget to check out Amazon’s bonus offer page as well, which has tons of great promotional credit items – including a free soundtrack with Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 Innocent Sin. Good times!

And now, today’s double whammy of t-shirt designs, which are about to make me $20 poorer: (more…)

Persona 2: Innocent Sin finally coming to America on PSP this fall

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

The Persona series has built a strong cult following in the West over the last several years, and its fans will finally get a chance to play the one chapter that never made it to the United States. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin will be releasing on the PSP in North America this coming fall. Over 12 years in the making, Innocent Sin aims to have all the features of a great PSP remake – enhanced visuals, 16:9 widescreen, new interface, original sidequests, and an optional remastered soundtrack. No word yet on the typically awesome special editions Atlus is famous for, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Persona 2 is credited as where the franchise found its own identity and distinguished itself from its parent meta series. Although the second part of the installment, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, was quickly localized after its Japanese release, this first chapter unfortunately never made it.
