This Persona 5 gym training mechanic brings back memories

Of No More Heroes and GTA: San Andreas

Although I haven’t been spending as much time as I should in the real life gym until lately, I’ve trained for hundreds of hours in virtual workout spaces.

As I watch this trailer for the training mechanic in Persona 5 (which boosts your stats upom completion), memories of classic games come rushing back, most notably No More Heroes and GTA: San Andreas. That, and any other training cutscene, like Little Mac running Rocky style in the city in Punch Out!!

I’m really bummed that Japan is getting Persona 5 in just 10 days, mostly because I know a lot of the story, sidequests, and secrets are going to leak out before we get it five months later in the west.
