Not surprised, I did think that a Switch version must be a given considering the inclusion of Joker in Smash (though I would have preferred Morgana, I wonder why).
I'm not sure if it will eventually happen but 2019 seems unlikely to me. Atlus is already developing RE Fantasy, Catherine full body and SMT V, as well as (I guess) doing the localization for Persona Q2. It seems like a lot of stuff already going on, I would say 2020 for the japanese release and 2021 for the west one as the earliest dates. I hope I'm wrong, I still haven't started a new game + on PS4.
at that point, they might as well skip the port and move straight to Persona 6
I'm surprised to see that no one has quoted the answer from Reggie at IGN about a port of the game:
This pretty much confirms that Persona 5 is on its way on the Switch.
That's just the usual PR fluff , but at this point it doesn't take any strong evidence if someone says Persona 5 is coming to Switch anyway.
Hmm I would normally be inclined to double-dip, but the only way I will do another playthrough of P5 without the perks of new game + is if the Switch version has the Golden treatment, ... which the Switch doesn't seem capable of?
Hopefully whatever is added is brought to the original version as well, as it is a much different situation than P4 to Golden.

The event, I platinumed P5 so clearly I enjoyed it but there's a lot of scope for improvements and additions even with the current length.
That is...such a shitty article, not going to lie. He's not a "longtime veteran in the industry" at all, so that's strike one. Strike 2 is framing of his words as something more authoritative than they really are. All the stuff about the possible names and what will be included sounds like pure speculation on NintendoSoup's part.
Is P5 on Switch happening? Yeah, there's a high chance. Is it happening because this one person said so? No. If anything, the most damning evidence of this is the, y'know, Smash inclusion. And the fact that there's a bunch of unused content, some of which even got published in official works.
Also P5U.jp is almost certainly referring to a fighting game spinoff, not a mainline release, because the -U is reserved for the Persona fighting game spinoffs in Japan. P4 Arena = P4U in Japan. P4 Arena Ultimax = P4U2 in Japan.

Would double dip as Persona handheld is the best Persona. However, it would need the golden treatment for me to be there day one. Else, I'll get it when I get it as I'm not jonesing to replay it any time soon (it went a little too long and needs more QOL improvements).
No. Taking out the end of Persona 5 would severely damage the themes and narrative of the game. I get that people is annoyed by it, but you don't go abusing a series just because you can't be bothered to play 10 to 15 more hours. Persona just isn't meant to be a "compact game", and it isn't meant to be "oh here is this asshole guy here" because it's still a Megaten game, and the themes of rebellion and deicide wouldn't fit in anymore. You wouldn't take difficulty out of Dark Souls, so don't take the year long aspect of Persona out of Persona.
Game needs some more stuff after the Haru recruitment so her character is fleshed out more in the core story events.
Please add options or change some scenarios so that I can do what I wantm add a penalty to it.
I am sure it might be too much to ask since it isbpart of the game but I loved every aspect anout the game except how time constrained the scenarios were.
Now I understand there has to be some set up but hust make me go automatically through it. Don't send me to my room so that I can't only sleep then others just auto load the next day. Just do it or allow me to do anything with a penalty involved if I stay out too late. I just found that to bother me a lot.

Wait, wat? How!? Lol
Is metal gear solid coming to switch too? How about the zelda with toon link, port confirmed? Where is castlevanias confirmation?
Thread is embarrassing.
No one is "abusing" the series. In Persona 4, you can finish the game without ever knowing the true cause of all the events in the game. I'm not talking about taking out anything, the game will still be rather long for a JRPG. Though the final stretch of the story can be largely ignored.
I also don't understand how lessening 10-15 hours of needless gameplay from a 90-100 hour game will be damaging to the series.
Reggie has been more straightforward in the past in shuting down rumours. The fact he's saying "I can't comment" (which means "we can't talk about that yet" in PR speak) instead of "There is no plan" or "We would love to see great game like this one on our platform" or "We're not aware if Atlus is planning it, ask them" is indicative that's in the works.
What's the relation? There have been Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania (mainline or very close to it) games in the past on Nintendo hardwares, it's not the case for Persona (Q2 is more a funny cross-over minor spinoff and the fact that the Smash Bros crossover specify that it's about the Persona 5 franchise, not Q2).
Except the last part of Persona 5 is actually meaningful compared to Persona 4. It was actually more enjoyable than most of the mindless running in hallways most of the dungeons of the game are composed off. I'd vastly prefer smaller dungeons than cutting away a big part of the story and its roots to SMT.
You could also just stop playing if you get bored.
When Arc Systems inevitably announced Persona 5 Arena, it would surely come to the switch.
There you go, a Persona 5 game on Nintendo :D

Indeed, I played P3 and P4 during commuting and playing P5 on my TV still feels weird. But I'm in the second palace right now and will most likely continue playing it on my PS4 instead of waiting.
That said, I would totally buy a Persona collection for Switch.
Giving a satisfying ending at Shido would literally go against the entire point of the aftermath of that fight.
*heavy breathing* my heart can't take this. i would actually start crying if this was confirmed.
pls pls pls pls do it.

Why is that? Is there a space issue? I know little about Switch's spec.
I'm sure the switch can run Persona 5. I just meant for me, it wouldn't be worth it unless it was a major jump in quality like what was Persona 4 to Golden
Thats a pity, i was really excited as a fan of theme parks. Oh well, like i said lets hope they improve it on the port.
Agreed, it's more likely than not that the game will be ported, there is too much money on the table and stranger things have happened. I also expect it to come mid next year. I just doubt these rumours are legitimate.
Persona 5 Reloaded is a dumb name
Persona 5 Rouge
Rouge is the French word for red and fits in well with the game's style.

It runs on the ps3 so technically no issue. There's some sort of exclusivity to Sony isn't there?
How much was golden deferent o persona 4? It sounds like even from fans of the game that it could do with some editing in places.
Would they do that for a golden version?

Why would the hardware not allow that to happen when the Switch is much more capable than the PS3 relative to the jump from PS2 to Vita ?
What was this studio that became some months ago a switch dev and said it was working on the porting of a jrpg ?
No, not Ghostlight. They partners with Idea Factory NA, not Atlus
Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to Fairy Fencer? It was supposed to come out this year.
Wish we'd get an upgraded version of ATLUS that actually does feel more progressive all around, not only against the japanese stereotypes of overworking and apathy...
And the creppy Ann stuff too, you know, her "friends" sexually harassing her in cg scenes.
Ditto, adds literally nothing to the game in any way.
And not get the good ending.
You're suggesting cutting the collective unconscious part of a game abouse Jungian philosophy. The game needs to be less verbiouse, a little shorter, and smoother pacing but the solution isn't to lob off the last part of the game.
Persona 5 happened 8 years after Persona 4 and 4 years after P4 golden. I'm not saying we won't have Persona 6 until 2024 because Persona 5 had a difficult development delaying the game, but we are talking about Atlus. Hoping for a 2019 extended Persona 5 on Switch is setting yourself for disappointment. I absolutely hope I'm wrong but I still remember the long wait for Persona 5, I don't want to get hyped too soon again.
Considering the original tweet has been deleted and seems to have been based on speculation, I'll lock this for now
