[PerSoBa]

Atlus just confirmed they'll be bringing over "Persona 4: Arena" (http://guardcancel.com/atlus-confirms-p4a-for-north-america/)

[Bernkastel]

Its coming out in the Summer, the same time as Japan.

Please EU gets the same release date .

[Narukami]

Name change lol, but who cares about that.

PRE ORDERING THE HELL OUT OF THIS

[Oblivionsdawn]

This summer? Thats freaking awesome, way eariler then I thought they would release it outside of japan. Preordering right now, the wait is going to be horrible.

[RedGraveXIII]

whoa summer!? daaammn you're good atlus.

[OchiChernye]

Fuck yes! No more importing ^__^

Gonna get a copy for each console!

[SerRodrik]

And Atlus continues to prove why they're the best.

[Katsuragi]

Time to change some thread titles :l

[ludwig van]

It might just be a placeholder, but Amazon has P4A's release date set as August 7th. (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007B7BHJ8)

Also, HYPE

[Katsuragi]

Still gonna pre-order from Gamestop. :J AND THERE BETTER BE AN LE

[OchiChernye]

Just pre-ordered a copy for each console from Amazon :D

ALL OF MY HYPE!!!!!

[Katsuragi]

o.o You don't waste time, do you? XD

[Zorgen]

Lol 'Arena'
Denying this name forever and you should too because it blows :J

BUT WHOA SUMMER
WHO CARES ABOUT EU RELEASE I'M BUYING THIS

[Katsuragi]

It'll take some time to get used to D:

But we'll manage

Now if Atlus could be so kind as to release a PV

[Kairos]

Thank you based Atlus

Getting Day 1.

[JohnnyLamonte]

Persona 4 Arena huh? Works for me. oops like our time is coming a lot sooner. We better get ready!

[Ghurdrich]

P4A makes me confuse it with the anime >.>
Still, I'm sure it will have good coverage, same as KOFXIII, so that will be cool.

[OchiChernye]

o.o You don't waste time, do you? XD

P4A is a dream come true for me.

Of course Imma order it as soon as it is available :D <3

[Serph]

Well that saves me the extra $20 bucks importing may have cost me. Good stuff Arc/Atlus. Now give us a limited edition too and I'm all set

[Pandaryu]

ATLUS, GREATEST PUBLISHER IN THE WORLD, thank you. :)

[FluxWaveZ]

Yep, this is exactly what I thought: a simultaneous North America release with Japan. Feels good to be proven right once in a while.

I'm kind of hesitant to pre-order it just this instant in case they do a Limited Edition, though.

[Chrono Reyer]

So yeah, atlus wins yet again.



*spoiler*

[Z3PHYR-11]

,^_^, *Manly-tears of joy*

YES!!! Now, I need to post this on another site... if you guys don't mind. ;D

[GetBent]

Oh boy, I sure hope there is a special edition, if it ends up only being japan getting the special version, i'll end up still importing xD

[Glenburg]

This news made my day!!!
I'm glad It's getting the KOF release early stateside treatment

[HeeroYuy135]

Wait, wait, wait, what?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY ATLUS!
*spoiler*

[Z3PHYR-11]

*Now, I just need to check if GameStop is starting to take pre-orders, ASAP!*

[Mikachiru]

2012 is the year of winners, I see. Good news for 2012 all over the place. SSB4, GGAC+, Skullgirls, P5, FE13, BB3 + the release of Extend, and now P4U coming to the US at the same time as the Japanese release. The only thing that'd make this year gdlk is if Level 5 announced they would work on a Dark Cloud 3 (a real one).

But enough off topicness, this news is grand. I'mma pre order it soon.

[Kairos]

Didn't even think about this. Was going to pre order this weekend but now I'll just wait.

[Serph]

Things have been going a little too good in 2012. The world is explode

[Zorgen]

God is making the last year of our lives awesome
cuz y'know dat 2012

[Katsuragi]

Welp, might as well go out with a bang a-la P4A(U)

[HeeroYuy135]

Didn't even think about this. Was going to pre order this weekend but now I'll just wait.
You can always put money down for just the game, then move the money to the Limited Edition when they announce it. I've done it for a number of games, and Gamestop's always welcome to move that for you because either way you're giving them your money.

[Vysetron]

Sooner than I thought! Good stuff.

[zak89]

And now P3's MC can be save because no one could have wish for the Fall after reading this

[HeeroYuy135]

I noticed on the bottom the Microsoft trademark also includes the Kinect.
The first thing when I saw that was "Is there going to be Kinect support for the 360 version?"

[Z3PHYR-11]

*Oh god, I hope that was just added there on accident.* Then again, would the Kinect function correctly with the game? *Hmm... guess we'll have to find out.*

[Komrad]

Need to preorder, ASAP. I know how games like this get limited runs, and I'm not getting burned again after Tales of The Abyss 3DS. :lol

[RedGraveXIII]

Then again, would the Kinect function correctly with the game? *Hmm... guess we'll have to find out.*

You'd get a pretty good workout if you tried!

im just glad we get to play some p4A before Nyx descends to destroy humanity.

[Ascension]

Freakin' awesome news, I've never actually imported so I'm glad to get a hold of this so soon. I best get on that preorder as well. I didn't with Extend and barely lucked out in getting my copy so I'm not gonna run the risk this time.

[Satsujinki]

This is why I love Atlus.

[Grayfox]

Awesome I didn't expect this so soon. But I still plan to import it especially if there is a collectors edition. Cause we all know Japanese get better collectors edition for fighting games. Take BBCSEX for example.

[Ghurdrich]

>implying Gamestop ever has copies of BB even if you preordered
>>implying large quantities of sodium

[Amaterasu]

I honestly did not expect to be getting the game so soon. This is awesome news.

[Symm]

P4A is gunna' be the abbreviation now, not P4U.

[Mikachiru]

P4A is gunna' be the abbreviation now, not P4U.

P4A for Arena and P4 animu for the animu. Or P4tA. Whatever.

[Zorgen]

Can't people just stick to the P4U? :/
It'd avoid confusion or w/e and people are already used to call it that and stuff

[DevilTrigger]

While we are a SMT forum in general, at heart we're a P4A site, so P4A stands. P4tA or P4At (I prefer At myself, but I anticipate it'll be tA that wins the day) is what the anime will be hence forth referred to

[Ghurdrich]

Guess it's time for me to start calling the anime "Ultimate in Mayonaka Anime" to balance the scales

[Narukami]

I can't stop accidentally saying P4U

I can't

[Z3PHYR-11]

I can't stop accidentally saying P4U

I can't

You're not the only one, it stuck to me ever since I heard the news on this game.

[DevilTrigger]

All mentions of P4U will result in immediate permanent bans

To Scratch and only Scratch

[HeeroYuy135]

I just call it P4Arena and leave P4A to describe the anime.
Also, Gamestop is taking pre-orders for the game at their stores now. They said that they'll call you when Atlus announces a limited edition version to ask you if you want to upgrade to that version.

Dat piiiiiiic

Won't be getting mine from Gamestop since there's a local store I like to use, but seeing a receipt is all kinds of hype.

[Mikachiru]

Well, I'm (even more) hyped for P4A.

[Zmizk]

We have an awesome internet store here in Sweden who decided to import the game from the US. So I just pre-ordered. The hype is unBEARable!

[PerSoBa]

It seems Amazon's listing for August 7 has more weight now as this Playstation Blog entry (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/03/02/persona-4-arena-brawling-to-ps3-this-summer/) confirms an August release.

[Serph]

Huh. So I guess an early August release window is pretty certain. Wish it was a little earlier but I'm not complaining, at least we have a date

[pjca]

PS Blog made an article about P4A (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/03/02/persona-4-arena-brawling-to-ps3-this-summer/)

[Z3PHYR-11]

^ About time an article like that is written. ;D
