In late 2015, I went out on a whim and picked up Persona 4 Golden for my Vita during one of the PlayStation Store’s year-end sales. Most of this purchase came down to the fact that I had heard nothing but raves from friends and colleagues about the game, and the series as a whole.

When it comes to the Wii U, a majority of people found it to be the ugly stepsister of Nintendo’s hardware lineup, but it cannot be denied that the system boasted a great number of exclusive titles, one of which included the criminally underplayed Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.
