NIS AMERICA NO LONGER PUBLISHES ATLUS GAMES FOR EUROPE







Some really sad news for European fans. NIS America has announced that they will be longer publishing titles from Atlus according to the article from MCV (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nis-america-cuts-ties-with-persona-publisher-atlus/0165969). The reason is they stated that NISA found it difficult to work with Atlus since they are now owned by SEGA. NIS America's Managing Director Takuro Yamaashita explained the following to MCV: 

"Around ten days ago, we terminated our alliance with Atlus in Europe and the US," Yamashita told MCV.
"Atlus became very picky about selecting the European publishing partner after it was bought by Sega. It always cherry picked its EU publishing partner based on who offered the highest minimum guarantee on a title by title basis. I noticed that it was very difficult for NIS America to establish an equal-partnership with Atlus.
"Atlus and its European games have contributed a lot to the expansion of NIS America in Europe. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to them for that."
As a result. This could mean Europe may have a tough time waiting for titles created by Atlus since NISA parted ways. Not only that, Atlus will stop publishing NIS America games for North America. This means that Europe could be waiting for Atlus titles to be released in Europe for months or even a year later after the North American release due to NISA not being around anymore. NISA will still publish Odin Sphere as normal but after that. Except really long waits for Shin Megami Tensi IV: Apocalypse, Persona 5 and SNK's King of Fighters XIV (Atlus is publishing it) for Europe as SEGA Europe only cares about PC games such as Total War and Football Manager.
Back then, you didn't had NISA as a publisher for Atlus until late 2013. EU had Square-Enix publishing Persona 4, Bandai Namco published Demon Souls since the US version was published by Atlus, Deep Silver published Catherine, Koei published Persona 3 and Ghostlight published the PSP Persona games. Even SEGA Europe published P4: Arena Ultimax. In speaking of Atlus, Conception II and Shin Megami Tensi IV (which is released a year later after the NA release btw) were digital only. 
If that's not enough, European 3DS owners are screwed due to region locking. Let's just hope Atlus doesn't region lock Persona 5 like what they did with Persona 4: Arena. Let's hope fingers crossed that EU will get a new publisher for Atlus someday.
But hey, they can release Citizens of Earth just fine in both EU and US the same week right?
  

SCC IS ON TAPTASTIC






Ah yes, there’s this awesome website where you can publish your web comics online. It’s called taptastic. Not heard of it? you can visit the website here: https://tapastic.com/
In a nutshell, you can basically view other webcomics and even create your own by drawing, sketching or even use photoshop and then publish them. When I’m bored, it will give me an awesome opportunity. 
Btw, because tapastic can’t allow Smith & Company Creations which is a bummer. I came up with an alternative better name which is:

Smith & Company Creations Cartoon Studios!!
Right now, I’m currently working 2 stories which are SuperMantuXtreme and Kids Squad (A spiritual successor to KND with EarthBound elements mixed in)
Many more will soon follow. As of now, Only the first page of Kids Squad is published but I will have MantuSuperXtreme uploaded at some point. Stay Tooned!!
Here’s the first page of Kids Squad if you’re interested: https://tapastic.com/episode/331219
Even though I haven't worked on Chapter 1 of Kids Squad as of now. I will start working on it next week.

LET'S SWITCH TO BLOGGER!















I decided to move all my blog entries into Blogspot now since I kinda want to blog about other stuff as Tumblr is more a social site than a blogging site and it's much easier to write blog updates than Tumblr. With here, I can provide more news, gossip and much more interesting stuff. Stay tuned and follow me for the latest news and updates.
