Atlus: Difference between revisions

For the record, a good number of their internally developed<ref>Games published by Atlus USA but not developed by its parent company may not have this trait</ref> 21st-century games are [[Nintendo Hard|freakin']] ''[[Nintendo Hard|hard]],'' though good design means they usually avoid [[Fake Difficulty]]. Their American branch is also famous for the translation of their games: [[Woolseyism]] and [[Superlative Dubbing]] abound in games they publish. Atlus is also famous for first exposing North America to [[Nippon Ichi Software]], having published ''[[Rhapsody a Musical Adventure|Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure]]'' back in the [[Play Station|Playstation 1 era]], and later the first ''[[Disgaea]]'' game for [[PS 2]]. This led to NIS eventually branching out on their own, and to this day the companies share many staff amongst their translation and dubbing teams, as well as an amicable business relationship. In fact, NIS are the ones publishing ''[[Persona Trinity Soul|Persona: Trinity Soul]]'', the anime based on the Atlus game.

 

 

Also note the number of [[Widget Series]] below.

=== Tropes associated with Atlus ===

* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: The Persona Series, specifically ''Persona 3'' and ''4''.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Atlus-developed games have a tendency to be quite hard. However, with Atlus USA, this doesn't always apply to games from other companies that it picks up for a Western release (not that Atlus USA hasn't localized hard games from other companies, which it definitely has).

* [[That One Boss]]: We can't stress enough that they have [[That One Boss/Atlus|their own page]] for it
