Living up to all the memes and dreams, Atlus's remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne will indeed be featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series. When the game was first revealed during the Nintendo Direct Mini, Shin Megami Tensei series character Raidou Kuzunoha was shown in place of Dante, presumably because Atlus had lost the rights to use Capcom's character in the 16 years that had passed since SMT III's Maniax and western releases. However, that has been proven to not be true, as Dante will be available in the game through the newly-announced "Maniax Pack" DLC, set to be released at launch for 980 yen. The DLC will allow players to select a special New Game Maniax option, which will replace every appearance of Raidou with Dante, from the Devil May Cry series. Currently, the game is planned for a Japanese launch on October 29th, with a western release slated for sometime in 2021.

Before Nocturne HD comes out, I want to know a few things.

1. Is there a hack for the SNES or GBA versions of SMT1 that ports over the iOS version's translation? I don't want to use a fan translation if I don't have to.
2. Is this timeline accurate?

For $10 it better come with the sticker

2. Is this timeline accurate?

=_= Why would you do this?

Of course, some of it is wrong, but discarding the non-SMT games, how accurate is it?

A serious answer? lol

Outside of direct sequels such as 1 -> 2 and 4 -> Apocalypse, the links between the games are tenuous and mostly thematic. You will not find direct story links between Nocturne and any of the other games*, for example, but you will find thematic links because of the mythologies that the games draw from and special bonus character appearances that are just for fun and not part of a larger intertwined canon. I.e Raidou and Dante.

*When the first teaser for SMT5 dropped it featured what looked like Magatsuhi leaking from defeating demons which links it to Nocturne, and the new trailer shows a situation that relates to Nocturne's true demon ending. But at this point the links are still tenuous and we don't have enough information to definitively say the stories will be linked in any meaningful way. It would be cool for it to be a direct sequel to Nocturne however.
