Rebecca "CuatroChihuahuas" Quintana writes, "Basically, two types of gamers are going to be interested in this game: those that played Persona 3 and those who didn’t (but may have played Persona 4, its critically acclaimed follow-up). For those who haven’t played Persona 3 yet, this purchase may be a no-brainer, especially if you already played and enjoyed Persona 4. Fans who have already experienced the game once (or maybe even twice) may have more reservations, especially because of the shift in platforms. While I fall into the category of those who are playing Persona 3 for the first time, I’ll do my best to point out what is different and what’s new in this handheld version for those veterans who may be on the fence about picking this game up."
A new SEGA / Atlus Switch eShop sale started up this week, which includes the lowest prices ever for various games including Persona 3 Portable, Sonic Origins Plus, and more.
Atlus has announced a collaboration with a well-known Japanese distillery to launch the Persona series' very own whiskey, releasing tomorrow.
I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.
Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.
A video reel showcasing what appears to be work-in-progress footage of a Persona 3 remake and a new Jet Set Radio title surfaced online this morning.
UPDATE: Special thanks to anonymous user DM for this!! So it seems this was part of footage from SEGAs Japan’s Internal meeting held in 2021… The Japanese characters on top rights reads “Footage in development” pic.twitter.com/5sW13O1kyQ

A Persona 3 remake would be incredible. It's one of those games that doesn't really have a "best way" to play because the content is split between versions.
And a new Jet Set Radio is definitely interesting. But I do wonder how the current public would accept it. Both previous titles are extremely arcade in their execution.
I'd love a new JSR but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks to be filling that void very nicely. Definitely get both if they release
That short video looks amazing, I love Persona 3, it's one of my favorite games ever. Hopefully this remake will come with the FES expansion included
Looks like they got p3 remake and P6 cooking. In Atlus we trust. One of the final kings of jrpgs.
This to me, is the definitive version. It could only be better if it were just straight up on the PS3.
I kind of see your point in this being well-suited for the PSP, it's just so length and being able to take it anywhere gives you all the more time to snuggle up with it and/or finish it quicker. Theodore needs to go though. Elizabeth would be my choice for life.
I really can't wait to play this. Good review, Rebecca!
Ugh - I sunk SO many hours into the original PS2 version. I'm tempted to pick this up when I have the cash, just to try it again from the female MC's point of view. Still, I have yet to finish P4. I should probably do that first ;P
i never played the original p3, but i might just have to get this for my psp!
