Persona 3 characters Junpei Iori and Yukari Takeba are joining the Persona 4 Arenaroster in a new version of the 2D fighter — at least, they are in Japan’s arcades. According to Famitsu, a new version of P4A brings a new Normal/Shadow Types to the fighting system as well. When using the Shadow Type, an offensive-heavy style, players can use Shadow Rage to repeatedly use SP Skills as well as connect combos that previously wouldn’t be possible.

Normal Type brings new combo moves to the traditional P4A characters, who have new Skills and attacks. For a hardcore breakdown of how the new system changes affectPersona 4 Arena’s apparent upcoming re-release, check out the full breakdown, as translated by Shoryuken, below.

The updated version of Persona 4 Arena is not currently planned for a release in the US, an Atlus representative tells IGN, and is an “arcade-only update.”

Not currently, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen.  Maybe they want to tie it in with P5 somehow first, or add to the story, or maybe make it so there’s more cutscenes in the story (god yes please), or maybe more time has passed, or maybe they want to add more characters (Dojima, Nanako, Ken, Margaret, Marie, Koromaru – if MvC 3 can have Amateratsu from Okami this is possible.  Or maybe even some social links outside the group that’d be kinda cool).  I think P4A did well enough to warrant a home release, right?
