ATLUS ANNOUNCES FIRST-PERSON SCIENCE FICTION RPG
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI®: STRANGE JOURNEY™ FOR NINTENDO DS™
Within our own world, a new frontier awaits...

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- NOVEMBER 5, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced Shin Megami Tensei®: Strange Journey™, a first-person science fiction RPG for Nintendo DS™. A startlingly original entry in the award-winning Shin Megami Tensei universe, Strange Journey takes the heralded RPG franchise to exciting new frontiers. The game has already released in Japan to strong demand and critical acclaim, earning a 10/9/9/8 from Famitsu, the highest score the popular magazine has ever awarded a Shin Megami Tensei title.

In the near future, a mysterious, growing, black void appears at the Earth's southern pole. Unable to determine its cause and powerless to stop its deadly encroachment, humanity sends an elite team of explorers into the heart of the phenomenon, just as Strange Journey's look and feel represent a return to the heart of Shin Megami Tensei, bringing to mind the all-time classic Nocturne™. With over 300 demons to bribe, coerce, and negotiate with to gain assistance in battle, Strange Journey is every bit the deep, rewarding RPG experience fans have come to expect from the SMT franchise, yet delivered with a fresh new sci-fi story that taps into mature themes of morality and introspection.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for Nintendo DS is currently scheduled for release in Spring 2010.

Too much Shin Megami Tensei is never enough.

After the brilliant job Atlas did with Devil Survivor I'm really looking forward to this.

I second that notion. Now if they would only make a sequel to SMT: Nocturne.

The megaten games have been doing the whole choices affecting story/gameplay thing for roughly two decades, but most still think it is something new.

I must admit I find this pleasantly surprising. When I first saw it on NCS' website a little while ago and read the storyline I was very interested but was pretty sure I could safely cross this off my list because there was no way they'd port it over. Glad to have been proven wrong, and now I have my first DS game purchase of 2010 lined up.

BTW, anyone played the Megami Tensei mmorpg? Is it any good?

More stuff from Atlus to take money out of my wallet. *sigh*

Pretty much a typical Korean-style MMO grind-fest. Fun for a bit but grows very old very quickly.
