NIS America llega a un acuerdo con Atlus para traer los juegos de esta, a Europa. Se acabó el mendigar a Ghostlight.

Cita:Atlus, developers of the Shin Megami Tensei, Persona and Etrian Odyssey series, have had an uncomfortable relationship with Europe for years. Unlike a lot of publishers, Atlus have no European publishing branch of their own, and so they license their games out to other companies to publish. Sometimes.

When these games are released in Europe, it tends to be several months after their U.S. release. Other times, Europeans miss out on them entirely, like in the case of stellar games such as Radiant Historia and Trauma Team.

Of late, however, NIS America have shown an interest in publishing Atlus games in Europe, and doing it in a fairly timely fashion. This past February, the publisher released Persona 4: Golden in Europe, just three months after its U.S. release. This Summer, NISA will be releasing Etrian Odyssey IV. And theyÔÇÖre interested in pursuing other Atlus games, too, they tell us.

Siliconera got in touch which NIS America to better understand the relationship between them and Atlus, and the companyÔÇÖs VP of European business, Takuro Yamashita, answered some of our questions. First on the list was whose idea the publishing deal was, and who the involved parties were.

ÔÇ£NISAÔÇÖs European producer approached Atlus USA to propose a partnership for publishing Atlus titles in Europe, and after discussing and finalizing everything, we came to an agreement,ÔÇØ Yamashita shared with us. ÔÇ£NISA has self-published a large number of RPGs in Europe since 2009, and Atlus had a strong desire to license their titles to a company that had experience selling RPGs in Europe. So the talks between the two parties went very smoothly.ÔÇØ

It turns out that the talks took place largely between Atlus USA and NIS America. Index Holdings, AtlusÔÇÖ parent company in Japan, werenÔÇÖt as involved in the negotiations. However, they are involved in modifying the code for the U.S. version of each game to prep it for European release.

Europeans can probably expect to see more Atlus games from NIS America in the future, too, provided all goes well.

ÔÇ£Currently, the games are selected on a title-by-title basis,ÔÇØ Yamashita revealed to us. ÔÇ£However, NISA is very interested in establishing a long-term relationship with Atlus to secure future titles from them.ÔÇØ

Buena noticia, a ver si se animan a traer juegos (y a traducirlos)

Pero NISA decide cuales trae a Europa y eso ¿no?

Esta claro que si pilla toda la saga Shin Megami Tensei es la mejor noticia que he podido ver en mucho tiempo xD pero espero que sepan venderla (no cuatro unidades en la tienda). Por otra parte la gente que tiene problemas con el idioma ya le puede decir adios porque NISA creo que te saca a los pocos meses el juego (lo mejor) y en ingles.

NISA decide que juegos traer, pero es un avance importante este acuerdo.

Que lo traigan en inglés no me importa, sólo quiero jugarlos y punto.

La única vez que me quejé de esto fue con KH 3D, pero porque es una saga que siempre se había traducido y no esperaba que no lo hiciesen.

Hola.

Es mejor que depender de Ghostlight, desde luego, pero espero que puntualmente les distribuya Nintendo ahora que parece que están interesados en los Shin Megami Tensei principales.

Un saludo.
