Nintendo rumored to consider buying Atlus in bankruptcy proceedings

A few weeks ago we told you about the trouble Index Corporation has run into and what that means for one of their subsidiary companies, Atlus. If rumors hold true, it could mean Nintendo will be at the front of the line for purchasing the publisher when it heads to the auction block.

Shin Megami Tensei IV is the latest to be released by Atlus, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. No sales figures have been released for the game yet, but it makes the most sense for Nintendo to purchase Atlus, as a Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem crossover is known to be in the works between the two companies.

What do you think? Should Nintendo snap up Atlus if it’s put up for auction, THQ style? Let us know in the comments.
