I still can't believe just how well Ichiban's wild ride has done. I mean don't get me wrong its easily my 2020 game of the year and the best jrpg i've played since the ps2 era but the sales, the highest in the entire Yakuza series, along with the worldwide reception has really, really surprised me.
and it would appear SEGA as well as its apparently spurring them to expand their simultaneous worldwide, multiplatform release schedule from things like Sonic and Yakuza games to the Atlus catalogue as well. Which naturally has folks still waiting for SMTV on the switch happy and the idea of a worldwide release of persona 6 on all platforms ain't too shabby either. Hopefully it will also apply to some of the independent games Atlus and Sega buy up to publish that otherswise have had to go with NIS in the past to varying degrees of translation nightmares.
Still i can't believe Ichiban is basically being for Sega in the 2020's what Sonic the Hedgehog was in the 1990's. What a strange timeline we live in.
