Watch The Intro For Persona: The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena


Granted, it's in Japanese, but if you're allergic to the language, you probably wouldn't be interested in this game anyway.

This morning Atlus unveiled the Japanese intro cinematic for Persona: The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena. You may recall this as the game that we've been collectively salivating over ever since the first snippets of info floated across the Pacific Rim [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/113803-Atlus-Adds-Two-Characters-To-Persona-Fighter].

Alternately, you may recall it as that fighting game created by the people behind Guilty Gear and starring characters from Atlus' brilliant, beloved Persona series.

Alternately alternately, you might have missed out on it completely and are suddenly baffled by the intro embedded at top-right. If so, rest assured, it is super awesome. Not only because it offers an appropriately stylish look at the fighter's cast, but also because Teddie is rocking a dapper M. Bison-style dictator outfit. Man, I love that goofy stuffed bear so much.

Sadly, this is the part of the post where I have to yet again remind people that we have no idea if this game will ever appear on American shores. I want to think that my willingness to pimp every bit of ephemeral pre-release news might drive Atlus to localize the game here, but I'm just a guy with a fancy laptop and a captive international audience numbering in the millions. There's only so much I can do.

Persona and Guilty Gear/BlazBlue have big international followings. I would be very surprised if this didn't get released outside of Japan.

My money, take it!
Considering that all of the Persona games get localized and all of the BlazBlue games have been localized, it is safe to say that this will be localized.

Even thought I have only played Persona 3 and Persona 4, I still feel like this series is so darn awesome and really hope they do release outside of Japan.

So, RPG series known for its distinctive art style, turned into a 2D fighter from the team known for its high quality animation.

...If I could be bothered to use Twitter, my level of excitement would require creating a new hashtag.

Aigis is in this, is she not? And if that were so, why not bring the whole rest of the gang? This game would only have like 8 characters otherwise.

I really wish Rise was a fighter too. She could analyse her opponent and counter their attacks or something. T'would be swell

I remember at one point hearing that the main character's name was Seta Souji, but ever since the anime came out it seems his official name is now Nakamura Yu. Can anyone help clarify? Or was I just remembering that name wrong?
