Atlus-O-Weenie Contest Winners Announced

Atlus announced yesterday this years winners of the Atlus-O-Weenie 2010 contest! In case you don’t know what contest this is, let me fill you in. every year Atlus, a top developer in the gaming world, holds a contest in which ans dress up as Atlus game characters, take pictures, and send them in. Atlus then chooses a favorite, then the fan favorite, and six random winners, and send out tons of swag!

“This is our 4th year running this costume contest for our fans, and every year we’re blown away by the response. Every year people from all walks of life come out of the woodwork and put together phenomenal costumes that surpass our expectations,” said Clayton S. Chan, one of the Atlus-O-Weenie coordinators. He further added, “It’s always a thrill for the people who put in a lot of work on these titles. We love seeing that we have inspired droves of fans to put in lots of hard work to dress up as the characters we helped bring to life. On that note, I’m very sad that nobody dressed up as a character from Crimson Gem Saga, or as Funky Student from Persona 4.”

Isadora Tang (pictured above in her Knights in the Nightmare costume) was the fan favorite, chosen by popular vote, and won the Grand Prize by a landslide as Maria.

Aleksandra Chernova was the Atlus staff favorite, as Thage from Eternal Poison.

The six randomly chosen winners were: Izanagi from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, Thanatos from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, Oswald from Odin Sphere, Tlachtga from Etrian Odyssey, Prisoner CR-S01 from Trauma Team, and Mackenzie from the Touch Detective series.
