We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Also Splatoon, Mario + Rabbids, Advance Wars, Triangle Strategy. Insane year.
Yeah thats why I don't get the pessimism. Persona is on an upward trajectory in terms of sales and it is all but guaranteed to sell millions. Also the software for PS5 is Japan is bad, but nothing huge has come out for it. Once FF, Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter etc etc start coming out for it it'll start blossoming again.
I don't get the "switch holding it back" complaints when we'll probably be multiple years into the lifespan of a more powerful switch by the time P6 is out lmao
plus the fact that persona is a turn based RPG who's visuals are heavily carried by its particular stylized art style and not detail or realism. Like if there's any game that wouldn't be "held back" by not being on next gen, it's that
the concern trolling is getting a bit ridiculous

I've already seen the video, but that doesn't answer the question at all. Damn near everything SMTV does was already present in Xenoblade 2, and that game had a far larger scope in terms of size, geometry, population density of enemy models, on top of having more large areas to explore that are almost all entirely unique from each other versus SMTV's more limited palette. Yeah, the resolution in handheld mode for Xenoblade 2 is infamously terrible, but even the video mentions that UE4 titles on Switch have had far better results overall than what SMTV delivers.
Isn't the Three Houses team Koei Tecmo? I think they had like just a couple of IS dudes to shout at the KT devs.
K-T puts out about a billion games a year, so if anything they're overdue here.
It looks to be rivaling the Switch's launch year but will personally surpass it for me, and that's without Mario and a likely Zelda delay. 2022 is shaping up to be an incredible year for all platforms. I only worry games will be delayed to space out releases
This is actually very true and it expands on what I meant. My point was that I'm not sure there's a "Three Houses team" and KT probably already reshuffled those guys into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms 37 team.
I wonder if that means that the Genealogy remake is largely IS working on their own, as it's been a fair bit since they shipped Paper Mario and I imagine that they already have a solid base to work with that won't require K-T to be over their shoulders (ironic, I know) to pull it off. If that is to follow so quickly in its footsteps, it would almost have to be that setup.
A Nintendo direct should be coming up soon, I feel. They usually have one in January. Would shed a bit more clarity on this leak.
But why did they just drop a kirby trailer with a release date this week if that were true? wouldn't they have put that in a january direct instead?
clearly they're trying to clear the way for more important games!
Damn I forgot about the Kirby trailer. Chance isn't zero but it's pretty low. Oh well.
We all still try to apply logic or patterns to nintendo's announcements and releases?
Like a certain other company with a rumoured game in this rumour, it just never works

Isn't February the more consistent month as of recent for Nintendo's first Direct of the year anyway? Between the Kirby release date and all the focus now being on Pokemon Legends at the end of the month, I doubt Nintendo would even want anything to get in the way until next month, which is appearing to be the rare quiet month for their releases otherwise.
Dragon Quest will be on PS5 day 1 in the West realistically.
If X does show up the Switch will be my favorite console of all time. Almost there.
If you want to go by patterns then 3D World + Bowser's Fury got a twitter dropped trailer/release date the same day as Kirby did this year before a direct on Feb 17th
Clearly they're holding out on X on Switch because they're waiting to announce the port along with X2
A man can dream.
Odds are looking mighty high for a Direct next month. It's a fairly consistent pattern they've followed for a few years in the Switch generation thus far:
Notable Q1 release (re)revealed in September the previous year. Provide new information (new trailer, release date) outside of a Direct in January. A Direct follows in February to reveal the remainder of the H1 lineup. Yoshi's Crafted World and 3D World + Bowser's Fury followed this; and now Kirby seemingly is too.
They'll want to give X the same care and attention the original got I imagine. I expect it sometime after Xenoblade 3; possibly a cross-gen title for late into the OG Switch life cycle (and early for Switch 2).
Just give me persona 4 golden on PS4/5. I'd be fucking jazzed if the new PS whatever service has FES too to save me from setting up my PS3.
I just don't see all of those making 2022. I can see 90% of them but Zelda slips to 2023, or Zelda makes it and 3 of those slips to 2023
my guess is M+R2, AW, Kirby, Triangle Strategy, and Zelda WW/TP HD, Metroid Prime Remake, Splatoon 3, FE Sequel with Zelda BOTW2, FE Remake, Bayo 3 slipping into 2023
Being multi platform with the Switch would mean the game would be watered down in development
Nate said in the podcast that he had heard that M+R2 was not going smoothly and would probably be delayed into 2023 unless it somehow makes late 2022
2022 is going to be a massive year with Pokemon Legends, 3D Kirby, Triangle Strategy, Advance Wars, Mario + Rabbids, Monster Hunter: Daybreak, Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, New Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime remake, and BoTW 2. I really hope rumors pan out for a new Resident Evil for Switch. I've craved a new Resident Evil experience on the Switch. I also would presume that they would have some smaller casual titles intermixed. Not really heard of for a platform 5 years in. Also I'm skeptical of a Switch successor coming anytime soon. This amount of software and level of support is typically reserved for early on in gaming platform's lives.
Shadows of Valentia was faithful to a fault, so maybe Holy War will be too?
I'm very excited about a new Persona game, that being said...I would bet my savings it isn't coming out this year.
Edit: Totally mixed up two of the bullet points, Persona 4 Golden this year is totally possible and I'm here for it.

Fuck, shit, I'm not ready! I still need to do Three Houses DLC and a Maddening playthrough!
I can appreciate that stance. I like my Switch quite a bit and will even buy games that run worse on it if I think they are a better fit for the console. However, that hardware is old (it released feeling dated). The games being released on it are being held back by the Switch's limitations. For a big new release, I want Atlus to be able to deliver something that runs silky smooth and looks like a dream. If they are targeting the Switch on release then that isn't going to be possible.
Persona 6, current-gen only? Very highly doubt that. Persona 4 came out on PS2 several years into the PS360 gen, and Persona 5 was on PS3 in 2017. P6 could come out in, say, 2025 on PS4 and no one would so much as bat an eye.
I do like the branched paths in 3 houses, but I hope they cool it on divergent routes in the next new game, I think it makes the stories of all routes worse than they could be(I did like 3 houses story, but that game was made way more engaging by its great characters more than the actual story/plot).
Persona is not graphically intense enough to warrant a PS5 exclusive. Sony exclusive? Sure. PS5? Nah.
Every game ever made will be held by the platform they're on as well have their hardware dated from day one. It just depends on how you judge them. Just like I didn't compare the Vita to the PS3 or PS4, I don't really compare the Switch to the PS4 or PS5 as their form factors and focus is completely different
Well...I mean, it'd certainly be silky smooth on the other platforms, if they actually did use the Switch as the lead platform and, if SMT V and P5 are any indication, will look great either way. Like I can totally get wanting an ambitious next gen designed Persona but I don't think ATLUS has ever really made a game that's particularly ambitious
