Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Heading To 3DS

It's not a new game, but Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers has never released in North America, so technically it will be new to us.

The game, which features two colons in the title, originally released on the Sega Saturn in 1997. After more than 10 years, it's finally getting some localization, and it will appear on the 3DS next year. It's a first-person dungeon exploration RPG, with familiar turn-based battles.

That is one long name. I was just thinking that this might get us some more Aram. But then I remembered he left Atlas. frowny face :(

I've never heard of Soul Hackers but I'm sure I'll get it anyways because I like that kind of game and I like Atlus.

Everything Shin Megami Tensei is so damn good!! I LOVED Persona 4 Golden on the Vita and I'm getting through P3P. More localizations = more sales = more incentive to give us even more!

It might be time for me to consider purchasing a 3DS.

Love me some JRPG's!!! It looks like the 3DS is keeping the awesome RPG line-up coming like the DS did for some many years. I just hope the 3DS or the Wii U gets a sequel to The World Ends With You I absolutely loved that game.

its amazing how well the game has been cleaned up.

I think I may need to get a 3DS. They have an extensive RPG collection. I feel I am missing out on some good games.

As much as I love Atlus and the SMT series, I probably won't be picking this one up. I'm just not a fan of First Person dungeon exploration. I was the same way with Strange Journey (I think that's what it was called) for DS, and I just couldn't finish the game. Just not my type.

The 3DS is quickly stepping in for the DS as the place to go for JRPG lovers. Having said that, first person has never been my thing so I probably won't pick this up. Hopefully the next JRPG we get is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy! That would be a no-doubter for me.
by Nathan Powers Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 11:19 AM

That title is simply too much. Even the abbreviation is overkill. SMT:DS:SH. Game titles should be limited to one colon.
by Jared Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 11:23 AM

ARGH! WHY?!? WHY?!? Why is that all the good JRPGs always on the DS3!? I mean sure you get two screens and the gimmick playing it in 3D. Yet I can't see why this can't also be on the Vita? After all it has proven itself and yet still no one takes it seriously. Atlus you keep playing with my heart and my soul!!!! Your as bad as Square Enix! Yet at least you keep a great story and characters.

oh yeah!

FINALLY.
by dhaynes325 Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Can we get the collection for PS3 or least some of the Shin Megami series?
by RezidentHazard (rides again) Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 12:10 PM

Holy crap. That makes three titles on the 3DS in the Shim Megami Tensei franchise in a three year span.

It really is following in the JRPG-heavy footsteps of the DS.
