Support NeoGAF

[LiK]

I'll pick it up to complete my collection

 

[totowhoa]

Amazing news - I once played about ~2 hours of a rom hack of SMT 2 in English, but never stuck with it for no reason in particular. Even if it's on the iPhone, I'm excited to finally get to sink some time into the first SMT game. I'd imagine the on screen controls are much more forgiving when I think back to how SMT 2 felt.

Finally started a NG+ run of SMT IV a few weeks ago, and I should have that wrapped up by the time this releases. Perfect timing

 

[Knurek]

I hesitate to contradict you, because you definitely know your onions, but my understanding (and I just double-checked) is that the iOS version's music is indeed recorded from the PSX game's.

Hi Nich, could you pass on to your ATLUS/SEGA overlords that PC gamers would probably buy this game in droves (like they did with the recently released Might & Magic X) if it'd be released on Steam?

 

[Aeana]

I'm all over this. How much is it in the Japanese App Store for an idea of how much it will be? Also is there a hard release date?

It's going to be $8, and it's coming out on March 18.

 

[Bladenic]

Hopefully we get SMT2 and ...if too.

 

[Soulhouf]

I would buy it to support Atlus if it was on consoles.
I already have SFC, PS1, GBA and even the PSN version. So no, I won't support something I don't like and would probably never play.

 

[totowhoa]

Hopefully we get SMT2 and ...if too.

If reception is positive, I wouldn't be surprised. And hopefully on more platforms too. Seems like these re-releases have been working out well for Atlus. I'd love to finally have access to those games in NA as well!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

There's no Android Japan release, right? So no chances of Android port?

Shame if so.

 

[Majestad]

It's going to be $8, and it's coming out on March 18.

The year of Atlus begins again. Next I want Break Record's release date!

 

[Goli]

There's no Android Japan release, right? So no chances of Android port?

Shame if so.

There is. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.indexweb.android.megaten1

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Hopefully we get SMT2 and ...if too.

...if is on ios?

 

[Aeana]

...if is on ios?

Yes.

 

[Alec]

Holy shit. I'm actually going to buy a smartphone game.

 

[Noble Neckbeard]

Sounds awesome. Too bad I have a droid!

 

[Just take it with you.]

I hope its true cuz the PS1 ost is still killer:

Embassy and Cathedral being huge upgrades cuz they are no longer just short songs that loop forever

All the more reason for SMT2 to come over, so we get this version of 3D Center.

 

[CSX]

PS1 version of jakyou manor

body is ready. Time to borrow my sis's ipad

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

There is. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.indexweb.android.megaten1

Cool, hope the Android version is next.

 

[Just take it with you.]

There is. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.indexweb.android.megaten1

Oh, cool, there's hope.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Amazing, hope they do the same for SMTII and SMTif

 

[Holmes]

Oh my god. One of my favourite games ever, officially in English. I'm gonna cry.

 

[Boogiepop]

Nice! Not my ideal platform, but I wasn't expecting to ever get it over here after so long anyway, so I'm excited!

 

[randomkid]

Guys I normally think RPGs control like butt on mobile (people always go MENU-BASED IS PERFECT but forget about the whole wandering around/exploration part) but in this particular case there's not going to be an issue. It's all rigid lines and corridors. With the music issue addressed I'm officially excited.

I knew getting an iPad deal for Xmas would pay off. I've had an Android phone for a while but this will be the first mobile game I actually spend money on, it's gonna be worth it, Shin Megami Tensei 1 is an absolute classic.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I'd rather have it on something not iOS, but it's an officially translated version of SMT. Damn you Atlus, for making me play an iOS game.

 

[buddha0991]

Does this mean the demonic compendium as we know it from the other Megatens, where you can resummon demons you already got or fused, is in this version?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I might buy an ipod touch just for this, damn you Atlus. Please bring the android version out.

 

[SJS]

EXCELLENT. Atlus needs to release as much core SMT as possible into the west. There IS a market, they just haven't reached out to it.

 

[Marche90]

Holy fuck, it's happening.

Sign of the Apocalypse, perhaps?

 

[Palette Swap]

Well, I'd never have expected SMT1 to be the most likely SMT to be available this year in Europe.

I'll get it. Cool beans about the PSX OST.

 

[Xena]

I hope they don't pull a Tales of Phantasia ios. If they do, I won't even try it.

 

[Alec]

Holy fuck, it's happening.

Sign of the Conception, perhaps?

FTFY

 

[Goli]

I hope they don't pull a Tales of Phantasia ios. If they do, I won't even try it.

They won't, it's not a free game with IAP, it's the full game, zero IAP.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

I hope they don't pull a Tales of Phantasia ios. If they do, I won't even try it.

Is not a F2P title.

 

[R.I.P]

Awesome stuff. Tried out the translated Snes version a while back,enjoyed it, but didn't get very far. Will definitely get this version.

 

[Just take it with you.]

Holy fuck, it's happening.

Sign of the Apocalypse, perhaps?

Thorman just put in the call.

 

[mcfishstick]

Hi Nich, could you pass on to your ATLUS/SEGA overlords that PC gamers would probably buy this game in droves (like they did with the recently released Might & Magic X) if it'd be released on Steam?

We definitely would!

 

[MarkMan]

This is a shock.

This version is based on the GBA version. It isn't exactly fully emulated, but it's pretty faithful to it. The most disappointing thing about it is that the music is OGG files but it's recorded from the GBA version, they could have done it with the PSX version's music. Either way, it's much better than the SNES version, and this will become the version of SMT1 I recommend to English speakers in the future.

UPDATE: Apparently the game was updated to have the PSX version's music instead!

Amazing! I can't wait!

 

[Voliko]

Pretty cool. Not the greatest game by any means but fans of the series should definitely check it out.

 

[polyh3dron]

Shitty GBA version

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Hi Nich, could you pass on to your ATLUS/SEGA overlords that PC gamers would probably buy this game in droves (like they did with the recently released Might & Magic X) if it'd be released on Steam?

I'll buy it on everything that I own.

I'm just hoping that this means a localization of SMT II and if... are in the works.

 

[C-Jo]

Holy crap, I never thought I'd see the day.

Thank you Atlus!

 

[wanders]

This is big

 

[RSLAEV]

Noice, even though I don't have an iPad/iPhone. Hopefully this will lead to even more SMT localization.

 

[toneroni]

awesome news!

 

[sixteen-bit]

This is surprising.

 

[Xena]

They won't, it's not a free game with IAP, it's the full game, zero IAP.

Is not a F2P title.

Thanks guys! Tales of Phantasia left a bad taste, now I'm paranoid these companies will turn old classics into iap cash cows...

 

[BennyBlanco]

Sega's influence at work?

 

[foxuzamaki]

I would kill for SMT1 and 2 localized on the wiiU virtual console.

 

[btkadams]

Sega's influence at work?

i'd say that it's more in spite of sega's influence.

 

[JetSetRadio]

People aren't puking on a mobile release, what planet is this?

 

[MarkusRJR]

Fuck. This is probably one of the only times I've wanted an iOS device.
