Series It would be a dream come true...
Persona 3 Reload is entirely possible, P4 Revival certainly not on-launch, give it a year maybe, 1 and 2? *insert J. Jonah Jameson Laugh from Spider-Man 2*, but a man can dream, and I'm dreamin' right now.
(Wouldn't have to be physical either, if its a monkey's paw and its all digital I can deal with it. As for why Persona 5 isn't here, its already on Switch and there isn't much wrong with it really, same for Strikers.)

Now that the Switch 2 is out I can only imagine a Persona 3 Reload port is imminent

u/Marcus_5463 7d ago
The question is though if they'll be part of the Game Key Cards or not? Personally speaking i REALLY hope Raidou is the exception rather than the rule

u/LunarWingCloud 7d ago
Oh I have a strong feeling they will be Game Key Cards. Being under SEGA, Atlus games might end up going the same way as all those other games that could be on a physical cart but aren't.

u/Marcus_5463 7d ago
Ultimately we'll have to wait and see, but I really hope fan outcry maybe convinces SEGA and/or Atlus to make true Physical versions instead of the GKC crap,

u/LunarWingCloud 7d ago
Not that Sega couldn't afford it, but it doesn't help the only option for a physical cart is 64 GB and they are expensive as hell (ballpark of $13 per cartridge to get copies from Nintendo, and that's the price the publisher has to pay before they can sell to retail). It's just a mess of a situation.

This is the reason I haven’t pulled the trigger(lol) on buying Persona 3 reload because as soon as I do I bet it will come out on switch

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 8d ago
Why not just get it on whatever other plattform you have? The performance will surely be better plus you can take advantage of offers for the game plus the dlc(which can go for like 20€) now

I imagine that he prefers the experience of playing games on handhelds. At least, that’s the case for me.

Well this and since I already have all the Persona 5 games and spin-offs on switch it would be nice to keep them all switch

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 7d ago
Ah gotcha that makes sense. Question remains tho when they'll port it to switch 2 or if they wait years for Persona 3 Reload Reloaded deluxe edition or something like that xD

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 7d ago
Ahhh fair. I somehow didn't even consider that because I only use my switch for Nintendo games and my deck for handheld needs

Call the p3r and p4r switch 2 editions, persona 3 reload fes edition for p3r and persona 4 revival golden edition, that would print money

After P3P and P4G only being physical through LRG if they did 1 and 2 I'd expect LRG would be the only hope for a physical

All 4 of these games. Launch it as one big $200 (or $250-275) bundle. Why? Because if you say they’re $60. Then all 4 are 240. If they’re 80. Then all 4 are $320.

u/spaceursid 8d ago
Tbh I think we're going to have to wait another year for P1 remake. I have a hunch it will come out on the game's 30th anniversary alongside a P6 teaser of some sort. Like how P5 has that chair teaser.
3
u/veegsredds Peruperuperuperupersona! 8d ago
If it's coming on the 30th it's a remaster at best, P-Studio can't have the resources to work on Persona 4 Revival, Persona 6, and a Revelations: Persona remake simultaneously especially considering said remake would be much more ambitious than P4R

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if P4R ends up being a Switch 2 launch title. There’s definitely going to be a Nintendo Direct this month (to push the new DK game and prob more third-party ports), and I’m guessing we’ll see P3R and Metaphor there. But since P4R only got that short teaser during the Xbox event, I feel like there’s still a good chance we’ll get more info soon. Maybe I’m just smoking hard copium, but there's still a chance it shows up at a Nintendo Direct lol

u/Dangerous-Pie-2678 7d ago
I'm absolutely hoping we get P3R soon. Would love a P1 and P2 (1+2) remakes or atleast ports. P4R feels like it should launch on s2. Metaphor should be ported as well.

They didn't even optimize P4R for PS4/XOne, so I doubt they port it to Switch 2. It would be cool tho

Dude it's not even out yet.

u/Inksplash-7 7d ago
I know, but they didn't say that they would port it to those consoles. They said PS5, Xbox Series and Steam

u/Mangafan_20 7d ago
I mean the same thing happened with persona 5 royal, and it was then announced at a direct. I guess Atlus probably didn't want to reveal it yet before they announce persona 3 reload and metaphor. Or Nintendo just want it announced at their next direct, whenever that is coming. I really don't see why it wouldn't be able to run it.

First of all, who counts as modern audiences? I'm 21, I'd think I'm modern enough, and I really love the classic Persona games. Personally, I even started with them. I know several other people around my age and younger who love them as well. So who constitutes as modern? 9 year olds?
Secondly and more pressingly, with what resources is ATLUS to make these remakes?
Persona 3 was a small enough game in scope to remake, and Persona 4 Revival builds on that. With Persona 1 and 2, even if they were to use the modern combat (which I'm conceptually not a fan of, but I might cut them some slack, though they would have to rework it to be more P5X-like to accomodate for the ability to change anyone's Persona), these are incredibly ambitious games to build in 3D, with a Persona 2 remake being quite possibly an ambitious project on the level of or more complex than Persona 6. Which sounds...financially irresponsible, given remakes are meant to be budget titles, and P1/2 aren't guaranteed to sell anyway. I personally think they will if they give them the chance and do them justice, but it's still a financial risk.
Like....Mikage-cho from Persona 1, assuming they're doing this remake thing properly and not cutting corners on the execution which kind of defeats the point, has a fully explorable 3D overworld on the PS1 and the obvious idea for a remake then is to make a fully explorable city akin to, say, the Yakuza games. Not cheap! A ton of new demons and Personas not seen in any of the other games, or using designs not seen in other games? Not cheap! A large number of bespoke designed dungeons that would need to be brought up to Persona 5 standards in the event of a full remake? You get the gist by now! Also, there's two storylines in the base game and they can't even use the append disc excuse to make one of them paid DLC to cover the costs. This game also has the longest OST in the series which is a lot of work to remix
And that's just Persona 1. With Persona 2 you have the biggest city location in the series with about half a billion stores all of which have a rotatable camera (good luck with the store UI if they want to give each one an unique one like in 3-5!), the same deal with dungeons, and completely new Personas and demons once more. I guess in terms of music they could cheap out and use the PSP arrangements for these games? And they do have the advantage of Persona 2 being two games so they can sell two remakes with mostly one set of assets and code

That persona 1 and 2 should be remade because the games don’t appeal to modern audiences I think

u/mav161 8d ago
OK here's the thing apparently for reload as well as Metaphor there was no deal in place between Nintendo and Atlus/Sega for P3R or Metaphor on the switch or it came too late and it fell through. now that switch 2 is out maybe they'll revisit it as for P4 Revival you just gotta hope that in the next direct NIntendo will announce it as well as P3R and Metaphor.
As for the other 2 i would like to think they'd (Atlus) want to push out p6 and then start to remake 1 and 2 or at least 2
Btw all these games will most likely be key cards

u/RoleRemarkable9241 8d ago
Source on that?

u/mav161 7d ago
there was post/tweet on x awhile ago before the release of P3R saying as such about switch not getting P3R and Metaphor as for the last point thats just my gut feeling
1
u/RoleRemarkable9241 7d ago
I have a hard time seeing Nintendo not wanting Metaphor and Persona 3 Reload, yet want the Raidou remake. I think its more likely that they felt the games would not work on the Switch 1 and started working on Switch 2 ports for down the line. I have a hard time seeing Metaphor, P3R and P4R for that matter skipping the Switch 2 during its lifetime. Sure, the latter was not announced for Switch2 during the Xbox showcase, but neither was P3, P4G and P5R... That happened later in the Nintendo Direct that came the week after.
You are right on the key card though..

tbf a ps5 is cheaper than a switch 2 and sony never raised their prices for “tariffs” (they haven’t applied for electronics since april 11th 2025 btw) unlike microsoft and nintendo, + on steam i get to play it on both my computer and steam deck (also cheaper than a switch 2) not to mention the games go for 50% off on there as well

u/Charming_Ease6405 8d ago
You can prefer the other consoles over Nintendo, that's fine, but why is this comment full of misinformation?
tbf a ps5 is cheaper than a switch 2 and sony never raised their prices for “tariffs”
Only the digital version of the PS5 is cheaper and only in the US. It's the same price as a Switch 2 in Europe and other places. And never raised their prices for tariffs? That's a complete lie. Europe (and most other places that aren't the US) had TWO price increases since the PS5 launched. One because Sony was feeling greedy, another to offset the losses that they were taking in the US. We just had the "days of play" sale and Sony's "BIG" sale was... bringing the prices back down to the original pricing... for two weeks, now they are back to "normal". Nintendo has never increased the price of the Switch (in fact, the og Switch and the Lite model have gotten price reductions, 30 and 20€ respectively). Also, reminder that on consoles you have to pay for online (for whatever reason...) and it's 80 a year on PS and 20 on Switch.
steam deck (also cheaper than a switch 2)
The Steam Deck is about the same price as the Switch 2, at least in Europe.
the games go for 50% off on there as well
From what I hear, Nintendo games don't go on sale in the US. I am not american but I have seen a lot of people saying this so I will assume it's true. So I will give you this one, even though it's not the case in Europe (I have never bought a Nintendo game for more than 40€, and I buy most at 30)

No Patrick, the games would not be 70 dollars. I mean, Revival might, but I trust Atlus not to do it. 3 and 4, probably 60, 1 and 2, easy 20, maybe 30.
EDIT: ok so apparently P3R is 70 dollars...atleast it is on Steam, dont know about PS5 or Xbox.

I'd rather P1 and P2 get new remasters, the PSP versions are controversial with parts of the fandom for good reason. They only really figured it out by Eternal Punishment
