Atlus and remakes

citra can't run DLC

I read that if you unpack the rom and manually put the dlc files in and rebuild it you can. Might've been bullshit.

I recommend you stick with the original, the extra timeline fucks with the game's narrative.

To be fair, both games were out of print, and I'm not sure how viable doing new prints of DS software is at this point, as in if Nintendo would even allow them to do it.

Last set of reprints that I'm aware of were in the latter half of 2016, when VGC or whatever that canuck vendor is got some in for the likes of Trauma Center, Front Mission DS, Infinite Space, etc. Beyond that, Radiant Historia DS already got a reprint years ago (for NA anyhow) when demand was seen to be sufficiently high enough. It averages about $20 complete where I live. Other Atlus DS games haven't been as lucky, especially ones where Atlus merely published them, rather than both developing and publishing (Izuna 1 and 2 and Endless Frontier, for example).

Pretty sure they don't have a say anymore since Bamco whores the series out to Gaijinworks to translate botch instead. Though, I'm not sure just how binding such a thing is. I mean, Falcom seemed like they used to have one with XSEED for a number of years, but were all too happy to give Tokyo Xanadu to Aksys and Ys VIII to NISA. Maybe Atlus could wrest Summon Night back, but that would require they actually be interested in bringing further entries west, and post-Twin Age, they don't seem to have been (and even then, the only games in the series they'd ever brought over were the spinoffs). Another spinoff, Summon Night X, got a fan translation patch recently.

And in Japan? That's going to be what decides it for a Japanese developer.

The guy who runs Gaijinitjustworks probably has right of first refusal for them, since that is a thing they try to push for when getting obscure series like this.

True. I honestly don't know what the status is in Japan, or if they're even prone to reprints beyond "Playstation the BEST" Greatest Hits types.

Nu-Atlus is a mistake.

Atlus USA is so incompetent that the included the full script translation of Legend of Legacy in the demo. It's already been injected into the nip and is playable in full english bar some map names a month before official english rleease.
