I've done challenges where I try to beat Persona 3 and 4 using only my starting persona, so for this video, I decided to do the same with Persona 2: Innocent Sin for PSP.
Unlike Persona 3, 4, and 5, Persona 2 is designed with everyone having the ability to use multiple personas, which makes this run all the more challenging. I am also unable to use skill cards, stat increasing cards, and other such items to strengthen my personas like I was in those games. A challenge like this may seem impossible, but you may be surprised by the outcome of this challenge.
If you have any more ideas for MegaTen challenge videos, let me know in the comments!

By popular demand, and to prepare for the release of Castlevania: Nocturne on Netflix, I try to beat Symphony of the Night on the Sega Saturn without any equipment. That means no weapons, no armor, no accessories, and no consumable items. Let's see how Alucard fares against the castle after Death takes away his equipment and forces him to survive without any at all.

In this video, I look back at one of the most infamous Castlevania games; Castlevania: Judgment for the Wii, which released in 2008 to almost unanimous negativity. with common criticisms aimed at its controls, artstyle, and poor balancing. Some people say that this game was over-hated, so in this video I am looking back on it to see if all of the hate is deserved.

Atlus's games used to be infamous for having very short print runs which lead to them becoming rare and expensive later on. In this video, I cover the rarest and most expensive games Atlus has ever published, some of which typically go for prices in the thousands range!
After a disappointing remaster of Persona 3, fans are continuing to push rumors and demands that Persona 3 get a remake. In this video I talk about what I would want to see in this hypothetical Persona 3 remake or "definitive edition."
After a long wait and a lot of requests to Atlus, Persona 3 is now available on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC with new features and remastered graphics. However, this port is lacking in many ways that make it disappointing, with a lack of selectable skills in fusion, and backgrounds that were upscaled using a free AI upscaler. I this video I give my thoughts on this port and why I think it is disappointing.

Today I bring you another Castlevania video, where I look at one of the most underrated and overlooked games in the series, and what I believe to be the best 3D game; Curse of Darkness.
This game brings the metroidvania-style gameplay of the 2D series into 3D with a lot of unique features of its own, like crafting and monster taming. Check this video out to see why this is my favorite 3D Castlevania!

The PlayStation Vita is one of the biggest flops in console gaming history, but also considered one of the most underrated consoles by many people due to it's impressive technology for a handheld at the time and library of Japanese games. Sadly, most of its exclusives have been ported to other systems like PS4, PC, and Switch, but there are a few that are still stuck on the Vita, and due to emulation issues these games are difficult to play through other means.
In this video I look at nine Vita games that are still exclusive to the platform and tell you which ones are worth your time and money.

In this video I review the newest entry in the Megami Tensei franchise and Devil Summoner series; Soul Hackers 2 for PC, Xbox One/Series X, PS4, and PS5. This game has been very controversial since its announcement, but now that it is finally in our hands it is time to find out whether or not this game is worthy of its name or a disappointment.

We discuss several things we did and saw, like the Atlus booth, the Megami Tensei photoshoot, the Bandai Namco panel, Studio Trigger panel, Persona Dance Party, and more! Throughout this video I also show pictures that I took.
Joker has been one of the most popular character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ever since the day of his reveal, but as a Persona fan I cannot but help feel Joker and the Persona series could've been better represented in Smash. In this video, I show my proposed new moveset for Joker in Smash 6, which is more based on his gameplay in Persona 5.

In this video I go back to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster to see how fast I can realistically beat the game on Merciful difficulty while only doing required battles to beat the game. Merciful difficulty is one of the easiest modes in the entire MegaTen franchise, so I decided to see how fast it would realistically be possible to complete on this difficulty while not speedrunning. Let me know if you want to see more videos like this in the future for other MegaTen games!

#SoulHackers2 #MegaTen #AtlusWhat I Want From Persona 6Nyarly2022-01-31 | Subscribe for more SMT and Persona videos!
It's been almost 5 years since Persona 5 released in English, and many fans are hoping that Persona 6 will be one of Atlus's 25th anniversary announcements later this year. It's never too late to dream or speculate, so in this video I talk about what I'm personally hoping for from Persona 6. Let me know what you all hope for in the comments.
Megami Tensei is one of the longest-running JRPG franchises out there, and there's no doubt that some other games have been influenced by it, and in this video I look at some of those games. While most of these games aren't exactly clones, these similarities are notable, and I think worth talking about.
If there are any other MegaTen-like games I may have missed, please let me know in the comments.
In this video, I'm joined by two other Persona/MegaTen YouTubers to discuss story spoilers for Shin Megami Tensei 5, what we think of the story overall, and what we expect from future games.

After a nearly 5-year wait, Shin Megami Tensei V is finally here, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. In this video I review the game and go over what it does right, what it does wrong, and what it does differently from other Megami Tensei games.
The copy of the game reviewed for this video was a review copy provided by Atlus West.
In this video, I take a break from my usual MegaTen content, and do a challenge run of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow by beating the game with only the weakest weapon; the handgun. A weapon that not only is weak, but is also halves your ATK stat. Watch as I struggle to beat the likes of the Headhunter, Death, Julius Belmont, and the works.
Let me know if you want to see more Castlevania videos in the future.
In this video I look at some of the worst and most useless skills in the Megami Tensei series. Skills on Megami Tensei may be useless because they don't deal enough damage, have a heavy cost that isn't worth it, or are too luck-based to rely on.
If there are any I happen to miss, let me know in the comments, and if I get enough suggestions, I may make another video like this.
I've talked about obscure Atlus games before on this channel, and now I'm doing something different, and instead talking about obscure games from Konami. Like Atlus, Konami has a long backlog of games that aren't talked about very much, that are still very much worth playing. Let me know if you have any suggestions for games in future videos!
