NIS America cuts ties with Atlus in America, Europe

MCV reports that NIS America has cut ties with publisher Atlus.

“Around ten days ago, we terminated our alliance with Atlus in Europe and the US,” Yamash*ta said to MCV.

“Atlus became very picky about selecting the European publishing partner after it was bought by Sega. It always cherry picked its EU publishing partner based on who offered the highest minimum guarantee on a title by title basis. I noticed that it was very difficult for NIS America to establish an equal-partnership with Atlus.

“Atlus and its European games have contributed a lot to the expansion of NIS America in Europe. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to them for that.”

NIS America has ties with Bandai Namco here in Australia; we’ve asked if the dissolution of the NIS-Atlus partnership affects Aussie availability.
