Any plans for Atlus U.S.A. to get involved in VC/PSN/XBM/Steam?

[Yet Another Tim]

Since there are at least some of in-house games that didn't make it stateside, wouldn't it make sense for this move to happen?

It's just since upon reading about a Maken installment that won't make it on time for the U.S. market, I've been thinking, "Hey, wouldn't this be a good way to allow North American fans to catch up, so to speak?"

I know this is just I, but, I've always been wondering.

3) Virtual Console: It's not up to us to decide what gets put on the VC. Bug NOA if you'd really like to see our games on it. Also, localizing old Atlus games for release on VC wouldn't make us any money, so there's almost no chance of it happening.

Same thing applies to XBL/PSN.

That doesn't mean we can't bug about stuff on Steam.

If Atlus even has any PC titles.

I was under the impression that PSN content needed to be submitted to Sony by the developer/publisher of the original content(not sure which). When Castlevania Chronicles and Sukoden were released on PSN, weren't those requested by Konami to be published on PSN?

Even though there was a article recently about how much of a rigmarole the submission process is with Sony :-\

Also, slightly related:

Guilty Gear for PS1 is on the PSN in Japan. Does Atlus still have rights to it or does Aksys?

I heard Atlus is releasing a game for XBox Live Arcade.

If Atlus starts doing PC work I am going to have to personally go over there and beg them to translate the Higurashi PC game. (I know it's just a book basically but that doesn't really matter)

Screw Nintendo, what about Atlus Genesis releases? I'd like to see Crusader of Centy and Power Instinct make it, how about talking to Sega? And what about Virtual Console Arcade?

Actually only VC has that restriction I believe. As Big N like their control lol.
