Atlus is set to shower us with more Persona love and will be porting Persona 4 to the PlayStation Vita as “Persona 4: The Golden“. This remake will contain a host of new features including a new character, a new opening sequence with new music from Shouji Meguro, and more voice work than the original PS2 version.
Atlus has also announced that it will release a 2D fighting game called Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena. And though its title says “Persona 4”, it will also feature characters from Persona 3. This student/persona brawl will be the product of a partnership between Atlus and Arc System Works, the makers of fighting games such as the BlazBlue and Guilty Gear series. Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena is scheduled for a Summer 2012 release (in Japan) on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Persona 5 has also been teased and some details, such as the game’s staff, have been revealed. The regular team, including Director Katsura Hashino and composer Shouji Meguro,is returning, but no other details (including which systems it’ll land on) have been mentioned. I’m personally hoping that it’ll come to PS3 and expand on the magic I felt from stumbling around drunkenly in a bar.

Shadows of the Damned was a unique game to say the least. It was chock full of memorable characters and weapons. I quite enjoyed the demon harmonica player. But the most striking thing about the game was that it eschewed the expected heavy metal soundtrack in favor of a more haunting and melodic blend of nylon string guitar, horns, and reverberating drums.
We’ve got something new for you on the latest edition of the Warp Zoned podcast! Not only do we talk about what we’re playing, we actually sit around playing some games for your amusement! Ryan Littlefield and Adam Woolcott take on the devastation that is Beautiful Katamari, while Nicole Kline fruitlessly curses at Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. They eventually actually sort of talk about the news and what’s been going on, like PAX Prime and Operation Rainfall, and there’s a certainty that someone mentions Mass Effect, which pleases Ryan. Want us to play a specific game, or get in on the fun? E-mail us at mailbag [at] warpzoned [dot] com and give us some love.
Yay! The holiday weekend is upon us! I’m looking forward to doing a lot of reading and gaming and sleeping, as well as cuddling with my kitties. Oh, and of course, obsessively playing all the NES games I just got on my 3DS! Ambassador status FTW!
