imao and people still think they gona put P5R on switch when they did not even put p4 on it and put this instead

 

[Xzi]

Nice, love me some ArcSys fighting games. Great price on Steam too, especially if you already have P4G.

 

[guisadop]

and hopefully get a physycal release as well.
also, no P4 on PS4?

 

[RichardTheKing]

Wait, wasn't there a prequel to this named simply P4 Arena? Where's that?

Wait, wasn't there a prequel to this named simply P4 Arena? Where's that?

P4 Arena was the first game, and its story mode is included in this for free

I'm astonished that they put this on Switch, but not P4G. It's not a big deal to me, since I played through it already on PC, but it's still pretty funny.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Least I'll be able to buy the right Persona 4 game instead of accidentally buying Persona 4 golden for vita.

 

[fvig2001]

I thought they'd release it earlier on PC since the arcade game runs on Windows with PC hardware. Thought we'd get Persona 3 next. Oh well, it's progress. Bet the next game would be Dancing All Night

 

[LinkmstrYT]

Hope it has rollback.

 

[NumberXIIIEdwin]

Please let there be a physical version for this. I mean there probably won’t be but I can hope right? RIGHT!?!?

 

[The Catboy]

But still no Persona 4 Golden on the Switch

 

[DJPlace]

hopefully the input commands are better cause try to do moves were a pain.

 

[pwjpssdfvqyuhweuxx]

please, P4G and P5R for Switch...

 

[Ace_Axel]

please, P4G and P5R for Switch...

Yes! Along with P3F and on PC, as well!

 

[duwen]

Awesome! I get to buy this for a fourth, and potentially fifth and sixth, time!
(already have OG P4A on 360, and P4AU on both 360 and PS3)
Hopefully this will benefit from Arcsys's current push for rollback netcode.

 

[AlexMCS]

That's great news for me.
It's the one game I won 1st place in a tourney lol.
Fun and accessible.

It's also the only game (not counting the original one) I like with "persona" in the title.

 

[eriol33]

Atlus being Atlus. Why no P5R??

At this rate it will be faster to develop ps4 emulator and make p5r into a playable state rather than waiting persona 5 royal to be released on PC.

[WG481]

LMFAO imagine begging for ports. We ain't getting them lol.

I am excited to finally see Chad in another Switch game though. Should be nice, provided there's rollback netcode.
