Gi - Shin Megami Tensei IV will be here soon and while the SMT franchise has been enjoying success in the states with the Persona and Devil Survivor series. However, the mother ship titles are relatively alien to the West with only a few of the games being officially translated, and even then they mostly flew under the radar. For this reason it feels appropriate to go over the stories and themes introduced in past games so players can have a better idea of what they’re getting into with Shin Megami Tensei IV when it releases on the Nintendo 3DS this July 16.
The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.
I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.
Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to naming gaming’s most revered and fan honored labels, it’s hard to top Atlus. The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"
I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.
Development is currently underway for Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch, though it’ll likely be some time until its release. Shin Megami Tensei IV, meanwhile, has been out for a while now – in two versions no less, SMT IV and SMT IV: Apocalypse (subtitled “Final” in Japan).
Greatest Jrpg series ever imo. They may not have Squaresoft money, but Atlus has just as much (if not more) talent than Square did in it's golden years. Don't agree? Then you probably didn't play their amazing games (SMT, Persona, smt spin offs, catherine, etc.)
SMT is a brilliant series, not just about fantasy settings and characters who look like cosplay rejects (like some other jrpg's). It's a series that delves into humanity and spirituality, what it means to be human, to love, to be responsible for other's, to hope and dream. What a brilliant form of interactive Eastern literature!
