@@enrique9925 Unfortunately some stages of life only have downsides.

This is one of those many releases in ports on the Nintendo switch that really makes me smile. I remember playing these games on the PlayStation 2, long after they came out. I was enthralled by them then and I was really saddened that I had to let them go for personal reasons. I wasn't sure if they're ever going to be ported and if they were where I could find them. After playing a little bit of P4 on steam, I got the message that it was coming to Xbox systems and PCs. It was exciting. And then, they made the announcement about the switch and I knew I was in for a treat. If you've never played these games before and have always been interested, you owe it to yourself to play them now. It's some of the finest role-playing games in the world today. I Only have one gripe about it: sadly, P3 and P4 are not physical releases.....yet, I hope. That aside, I'll play it no matter how I can all in one place
It’s been so great being able to experience these games without emulation. P4G was a life defining game for me when I first watched a play through of it when I was in middle school.
@@PomadaGaming honestly we can learn something from the experiences of people from various different backgrounds and ages. And when you’re young, you’re bound to come across more mature content. Persona is just as kid-friendly as most anime they’ll watch.
@@cranburrey Bro. ...I had so survive until 5am to get these games... Didn't help that I had to get up 3 hours after that. Why oh WHY did it have to release at 5am on a Thursday. Still worth it.
Will wait for these because I'm currently playing Persona 5 Royal, but I'll definitely get them too at some point, I'm so glad they're finally on Switch (and other consoles/PC, too)!
@@RyanKarolak I've done two Palaces and am enjoying it a lot so yep, I'll most certainly play 4 and 3, too (although I'll probably play Strikers next since it's 5's sequel, even if without the Royal additions)!

just got my p3p tattoo right on time last weekend! p3p is one of my favorite games of all time. i hope everyone has fun with these rereleases, they are still so much fun no matter how much time passes!
I’m really excited to get these, I’ve heard tons of good things about these games. I’m so glad they weren’t marked up for switch, I was fully expecting $60 for both of them separately so it was so nice to see they were only $20 each
They did... on Xbox only. Xbox runs at 4k 120fps. Playstation (and Switch) is capped at 1080p 60fps 🫠 no reason for the playstation version to get the shaft
I love that P3 & P4 are on modern consoles, just wished I could get them as physical releases instead of downloads only. Hopefully Limited Run could be able to do so?
Loved Persona 4 Golden on PC, currently playing through P5R on and off since October and just started P3P on Game Pass, it's been a blast and I might just buy it on Switch if a physical edition comes out
I wish they remade P3 to modern persona standards, it would be a masterpiece. I'd love to experience the story again but I don't feel like losing hours of progress to mamudo
I’m very excited to play these but I’m probably gonna wait for a sale, just watched my friend play through 4 and I’ve heard rumors about a remake for 3
I only played mainline SMT yet, so hype to find out what made this spin-off series so popular. As the games are not graphically demanding, portability makes this the definitive version i guess so now or never
FINALLY THE MAIN GAMES ON THE SWITCH!! I’ve been waiting for literal YEARS! 😭😭😭Thankfully I played P3P bc I owned a handmedown PSP at some point, but I never got to play P4 (nor P5) and I’ll finally be able to 😭
@@lubbo5261 I mean story-based ones that add new characters and environments to the franchise, you know? Fighting games like Persona 4 Arena, dungeon crawler games like Persona Q and rhythm games like Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are all spin-offs that use the characters first introduced to the public through the series' main games like Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5.
I remember when people were complaining p5 wasn't on switch. Now 3, 4 and 5 are. So I hope 1-2 are ported as well, just to have the entire series on switch and not have to play the games on vita, psp or PC. Then maybe they can port the devil survivor games since those types of games are popular on switch. And you wouldn't have to purchase the 3ds versions on sale.
I can't wait to actually be able to play these games! It was either beg for a port to eventually happen,or shell out hundreds of dollars for a PSP and VITA,plus the games in order to experience them. It absolutely sucked being a Persona Fan and not actually being able to play the games. I mean I had a playstation 3, but the only Persona related game for it I ever had was Arena Ultimax. So this is an absolute blessing! And even though I've never been able to play persona 3 myself,it has my favorite story out of the games.
I don't think we'd be getting a physical version sadly. If we do though, it would probably be like a limited quantity thing that Atlus will do and will get scalped almost immediately.
@@Nakura-dj8mg You are most likely correct which is a shame as P4G and P3P are masterpiece, both games are only 10gb and 14gb, so they could fit both games on at 32gb cartridge, sell it for like £40 and it'll sell like hot cakes.
i still do not understand why they decided to port the dumbed down portable version of 3 over FES regardless i am glad i can finally play 4 golden without the need a of a vita but i am worried was anything changed or censored?
Persona 3 made me a persona Fan. Well, we got P3P instead of Fes but I won't complain. If only the rumors were true. Gonna wait for summer for a potential announcement. I won't get my hopes up though.
I honestly love the persona 4 golden soundtrack I first found the game by watching videos on it and I loved the music so I’m so glad I can finally play it
Super glad P3P is made available to modern consoles and thus a wider audience. Took long enough though! I do like the sharper quality unlike the footage taken from my P3P play through on PSP.
They were day one purchases for me! As a Persona fan with no way to ever play any of them myself I’m over the moon to have P3 in any form, P4G, and P5R at long last! If you’re not sure and think you may want to pick them up, do a little research first. They’re not for the ones without the time and resolve to see them through till the end. .
Persona 4 is such a special game to me. The music alone takes me back to 2008 when I was 19 with no worries or responsibilities...

Allready buyed and started P3P right after finishing Bardock in Kakarot yesterday.
2 of the best jrpgs. Although i would like if they modernized some stuff on p3p, still awesome game and as for p4 golden, it's perfect in every way.
The bar must be pretty low for you if 3 is high up. Some of the worst dungeon design for the era it released in
imo they should've just done fes with the female protagonist and direct commands

Persona 3 FES is what introduced me to the series. I played P4G then P5 in that order.
Every Persona main line game is separated, they don't collide in continuity
