Atlus Localizing SMT: Devil Survivor for the DS!
Confirmed by Atlus

It's been confirmed, folks. Atlus has announced that they are indeed bringing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor to North America. You can look forward to kicking some demon booty on June 23rd, 2009 (just like Amazon predicted...), so mark your calendars! A little info on the game:

Devil Survivor is the first Shin Megami Tensei game for the Nintendo DS and unlike the other games it’s a sort of like a strategy RPG. Players move COMPS, teenage demon tamers, and their fiendish friends on an isometric grid, but when it’s time to fight combat switches into a turn based RPG.

Yay! I like drawing style of this one. 5 months to go...

 

[Canonbeat234]

Good but what about Knights of the Nightmare?

 

[War]

In due time, young one. In due time.

 

[Dark_linis]

Tis great news! Not like I didn't expect it to come... just not really so soon.

Good but what about Knights of the Nightmare?

"Knights in the Nightmare"
Yeah, they're doing it, the info was leaked some time ago (including the SMTs translation announcement)
See: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=132082&st=0

Among those screens there's one that reminds me of the nes\snes-era SMT games. Ah, the feeling of nostalgia!

Looks very nice for a SRPG. Maybe this can cause me finally put down FFTA2 (or least least for a few days

)

 

[pristinemog]

An SRPG, hmm... That's a shame, this may be the first SMT since Nocturne that I'll have to skip. That and the fact that these character designs instantly shoved Disgaea in my head and that's a huge turn off for me.

I mean if Atlus is just gonna make another SRPG... Why can't just make another press-turn based RPG instead with some kind of expanded system!? I loved the reward/penalty battle system SMT: Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 had but eh.

Guess it doesn't really even matter since Circuit City's warranty program stole my DS then promptly died as a company.

this is great news

 

[stretch]

Oh, hell yeah!

 

[Hop2089]

The art style is very good and I'm looking forward to this game.

 

[GameSoul]

I do not approve of this devil booty kicking.

I know! I'll play this game when it comes out and let the characters get beat up! It's genius!

I'll check this out (since I've never bothered to play a SMT game before), but if the trailer's any indication, the soundtrack may end up driving me insane. It sounds a lot like the music in The World Ends With You, and I got to hating that pretty quickly.
