So does this imply anything for Persona 5?

No, not really.

[Mileena]

Third or first person?

If it's first person I'll boycott

[wsippel]

But people told me strange journey was smt 4

It would have been if it took place in Tokyo. It didn't, which meant it couldn't be SMT4 - even though it kinda is. Or something like that.

[Shalashaska161]

Well this is a pleasant surprise.

[Andrefpvs]

were you going to betray your pokegaf brethren and not get gen vi

Maybe :p

(Of course not. Just give me more battery life and maybe the second pad, dammit Nintendo!)

--

Anyway, I wonder what this means for SMT and spin-offs going forward. Will we ever have an HD SMT?

[2San]

Still waiting for that 3DS revision, before I leap into the current handheld gen.

[C-Jo]

Holy shiiittttttt.

[rouken]

castlevenia and now smt. :)

im hugging my 3ds now

[dygiT]

If it's first person I'll boycott

You're insane, IMO.

[Road]

So does this imply anything for Persona 5?

Expect it around 2017.

[Aeana]

Is this what Aeana was hinting at?

Yes, it is. This is the other Atlus surprise. Glad it's finally announced! I'm really, really, really excited.

[hardcastlemccormick]

SO EXCITED

[Teknoman]

Oh my god.

[Eusis]

I wonder how the people who steadfastly refused to admit Strange Journey was a mainline title because it was on a handheld will react. Gonna guess not well.

I imagine that may depend on the type of game, actually. If it's closer to Nocturne than Strange Journey (3rd person adventure versus first person pure dungeon romp) they'd probably be a bit more content, but if it's more in the style of Strange Journey/the classic game then everyone who wasn't happen with Strange Journey is probably going to still be pissed.

[dakkumauji]

But I don't want to buy a 3DS yet or whenever this comes out!

Will want more info first.

[Jarmel]

No, not really.

Not familiar with their development staff but could they produce both games at once?

[Seda]

I still have to really get into this series, I've only played Persona 3 and I know that's not a true SMT or something.

[Ultimadrago]

But I don't want to buy a 3DS yet or whenever this comes out! Will want more info first.

Same, will be keeping an eye.

[Sophia]

I'm glad Atlus is vindicating my purchase of a 3DS.... oh what the hell, full fangirl mode enabled.....

OMFG HOLY SHIT MEGATON!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it is. This is the other Atlus surprise. Glad it's finally announced! I'm really, really, really excited.

YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS!? I hate you. Must have been hard to not talk about it.

[Marvie_3]

Sweet!

[nincompoop]

Whoa, unexpected.

Odds of a US release?

[radioheadrule83]

People who doubted the Nintendo E3 list = owned. 3DS is delivering.

did I miss a list?

[Aeana]

Whoa, unexpected. Odds of a US release?

100%.

[Box of Bunnies]

Wonder what the chance of a PAL release is, given that we missed out on Strange Journey and Devil Survivor.

[Gravijah]

100%.

only 100%?

[Alrus]

Whoa, unexpected. Odds of a US release?

Almost guaranteed, Atlus hasn't skipped localization of a SMT game in a long time.

[Instro]

did I miss a list?

The release list that Nintendo put out for the 3DS back in 2012 had SMT on it iirc.

[XiaNaphryz]

did I miss a list?

It was the initial 3DS third party game list at the 3DS reveal from E3 2010.

[Tiktaalik]

Great news. Dungeon crawlin' in 3D! woo.

[mjc]

Sign me up!!!

[-Pyromaniac-]

Awesome news.

[Sophia]

did I miss a list?

From when the 3DS was first announced, Shin Megami Tensei was on the list of games at that E3.

Whoa, unexpected. Odds of a US release?

EVERY MegaTen game fron Nocturne onward, with one exception, has gotten a US release. 100% guaranteed.

[Aeana]

only 100%?

100%+1

[Thoraxes]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now the important question: Do I import a JP 3DS to play right away, or wait for the localization?

Tough tough question.

[ctrayne]

.

[DR2K]

So does this imply anything for Persona 5?

I would hope not.

Wonder if it'll get a US release.

[duckroll]

Not familiar with their development staff but could they produce both games at once?

Sure.

[hardcastlemccormick]

did I miss a list?

In the recent Media Create thread, there was a bit of back and forth about that list that showed potential third party support that comes with every console/handheld launch. The SMT and SMT: Persona entires were discussed as if they have any relevance what so ever.

It's pretty stupid to mention it here.

[Dark Schala]

Awesome, this is fantastic news.

Need more info about it, but a new SMT is always something to get stoked for. (Edit: Yes, mostly for the art, as noted below... but moreso for the muuuusiiiiiiiic.)

[XANDER CAGE]

Oh man, give me Kazuma Kaneko art in 3D with this and Soejima art in HD with Persona 5 and we'll have a stew goin'.

[Bauer Action Hour]

Well, this means I'll definitely own a 3DS at some point.

Once Nintendo puts out a reasonable revision of the hardware (DS-Lite esque) I'll pick it up.

[Teknoman]

I would hope not. Wonder if it'll get a US release.

Everything SMT related gets a US release these days. I wouldnt worry.

Well except that one version of Nocturne that had Raidou in it (or was it the other way around).

and now this?


*headexploade.gif*

I want them all. Also, Fire Emblem.

[Sadist]

Wonder what the chance of a PAL release is, given that we missed out on Strange Journey and Devil Survivor.

Well, Ghostlight (UK based publisher) picked up Devil Survivor Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2. Both of them will release this year in Europe.

[entrement]

3DS is becoming a little beast in Japan.

[Thoraxes]

We can check one off that launch list from 2 years ago, right?

[Aeana]

Well, one thing you can be sure of is that it'll be set in Tokyo, unlike Strange Journey. They wouldn't call it SMT4 otherwise.

[viewtiful_dru]

between the purp 3ds and this... guess I gotta throw some money at Nintendo/Atlus

[Hot Coldman]

100%+1

So, 200%? WOOHOO

[Brazil]

Megaton! Megaten!

No tears? I'm surprised.

lol.

Oh.
