You meet all kinds of comical teachers in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, but Mr. Hosoi is the most memorable. He lectures players on Japanese literature with a hand puppet sort of like early Mr. Garrison. I can't say for sure if Mr. Hosoi was directly inspired by the South Park character, but the localization team at Atlus USA gave another nod to South Park by having Mr. Hosoi say Mr. Mackey's catch phrase "mmmkay". I don't remember South Park ever being a hit Japan so Mr. Hosoi an unusual and interesting addition for Persona 4 considering the game was developed in Japan.

The Switch would definitely benefit from Persona games, but at the end of the day, it doesn't need them for fans to scratch the itch.
Nobody asked but nice of you to write an article trying to convince yourself of that.
At the end of the day Atlus/Sega can put Persona on whatever platform they want. Their business and their choice.
I mean techincally there are Persona games on Switch. Just not the core series. That being said, sales would definitely benefit from the Japanese market Switch owners if they ever decided to put them on there.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The first of the Persona 25th anniversary announcements will come in September, as early as the 1st of the month. Which will start a series of 7 announcements, all the way up to Autumn 2022. With the announcements coming as early as tomorrow, I thought it would be interesting to talk about what I think my be announced during all of it".
Surely a Persona 4 Golden is on the cards? I played about 5 hours worth years ago on the Vita. Would love to play it on a present-day console.
@curtain_swoosh. Yeah, I wouldn't mind the PC version but I have a crappy old Mac (better not say that too loud as I don't want it to hear me) so it can't run Parallels PC software. I'm sure a home version will come, someday.
I mean it's Atlus.
One would think that Persona 4 Golden would have gotten a console version together with the PC one. And if not for all consoles at least a Switch release.
So, yeah. I'm betting on nothing.
As excited as I am to see more Persona, I really want to know the status of Project Re Fantasy. It's been nearly five years since that game was announced and we know absolutely nothing about it outside of a teaser trailer.
As it's a persona specific event i doubt it will show up. But maybe. Probably a Sony event ingame reveal seems more likely.
Persona 6 and Persona 3 FES port to PC, I don't know what else to expect, I'd buy a port of P3 Fes to go with P4G.
Strong sales of Persona 4: Golden port will lead to more Sega catalogue titles on PC
It only makes sense. I expect to finally see the hd definitive version of p3 by the end of the year.
I'm pretty sure Sonic 2 allows 2 player on steam lol. Unless I misunderstood what you mean
Yes, definitely need to bring over Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours.
P5 I definitely ain't complaining about either. I still haven't played through royal for backlog reasons. If I can get a PC version instead. I'm not complaining
I'm even surprised by how well it did. But I was one who bought on day one. Despite it coming out of no where. Loved the game on Vita. Hopefully they'll bring a version of Persona 3 that's a mix between combat from P3P, female and male protag, as well as the complete 3d game like FES etc. Basically the version where you get the best of everything, no compromise
Someone's forgotten/doesn't know about the South Park scene in Fooly Cooly.
I doubt the using a puppet is a homage to South Park. A teacher using a puppet is something that is funny and it's used a bit more then you may think it is. However the Mmmkay is most likely a reference to South Park.
Butters you black asshole!
well it does have a few similarities....
this game is gonna be sooo awesome...!!!
Rofl! That's awesome. This game is going to be great.
