A moment to celebrate Atlus games...

I believe that Atlus is one of the most inventive and truly original companies in the gaming industry today. Yes, it's true that not all their games are hits, but I appreciate a company taking risks over releasing someting old and proven.

With games like Trauma Center, Etrian Odyssey, Odin Sphere, Riviera, Contact, Disgaea, Ogre Battle, Cubivore, Izuna, Shin Megami Tensei and more, Atlus is one of my favourite developers/publishers today.

So with all that, let it be heard that Atlus is awesome.

I'm new to Atlus ? Why do they write it like this? Why not Atlas ?? Anyway... Odin Sphere alone was enough to make me watch out for every title they make. The game is a blast.

Ya, Atlus is great. It's so great I wrote a blog entry about it not too long ago. ;)

Own all these games and loving them :)

Thank God SOMEONE else realized the greatness that is Contact and also Izuna.

Anyway IMHO Atlus is by far the best publisher in the Western Market now. :)

Well, I don't really attribute the likes of Disgaea or Contact as really being Atlus's games, as they really only were responsible for western localization of those titles. Granted, they get mad props for doing that, but when it comes to giving credit for the core game themselves, Nippon Ichi gets it for Disgaea, and Grasshopper Manufacture gets it for Contact.Skylock00

This is why I say they are my favorite Western publisher, since if it wasn't for Atlus these games would NEVER come here. :)

Indeed, a great company. I'm saddened by the lack of Astro Boy: Omega Factor mentions in this topic (I'm sure it was an Atlus developed game - if not, excuse my ignorance :( ). It's a challenging scrolling beat 'em up for GBA that pushes the hand held to its limits and makes good use of the classic anime franchise.PAJ89
