Title: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: Gouto-Douji on October 18, 2006, 12:06:42 PM It would make a great portable, i realize warring against god isn't exactly Nintendo America friendly, but it would make a great PSP game at least.

Digital Devil Saga DS DDSDS Or better yet, Devil Summoner DSDS Title: Re: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: Tony on October 18, 2006, 07:29:59 PM Nintendo is probably the least likely company to interfere with stuff like that at this point. Nintendo makes some of its own decisions for its products, but as far as third parties go they can do whatever the heck they please. For example, Killer 7 has some moans in the "famous" sex scene for the GameCube that were entirely removed for the PS2 version. I've read other things from developers that go along with that as well. I don't even think this is an issue anymore.
Beyond that, the main question whether or not Atlus even wants to bother. Atlus of Japan hasn't shown any real interest in porting the games to the PSP, which is probably even more true now that the DS is trouncing the thing in Japan. Atlus USA doesn't develop, so there's nothing to rely on there. My only thought was that perhaps a translation could appear on Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console service. I don't know if Atlus USA will bother (I asked on the forums and didn't really get an answer to that specific question), but it's really the only legitimate hope as of right now.

Post by: Gouto-Douji on October 19, 2006, 02:25:17 PM I didn't think there was any chance either. i'm just such a huge fane of the MegeTen games that i would love to see it translated.

Title: Re: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: Kakizaki on October 22, 2006, 06:22:28 PM I agree. Especially since Atlus is still releasing GBA titles in the U.S. Titles that are a few years old in Japan.
Title: Re: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: Gouto-Douji on October 23, 2006, 11:58:14 AM If they can bring Super Robot Taisen and Summon night to the GBA, they should bring SMT I or II. i guess they don't think it will sell well or something. oh well, its a pipe dream anyways.
Title: Re: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: granitor on March 09, 2007, 05:00:38 PM It would probally be easier to homebrew a remake, or something, than to get Atlus to do a remake. (not that a remake would be easy at all). The reason is that the two core designers have left Atlus, as far as I know, and so there's no-one passionate about the games there anymore. Also, anyone from the origional team is probally also looking to work on something new.
As was mentioned earlier, Atlus US doesn't do any development, so it's unlikely that there's much initial consideration beign given by Atlus (Japan) as to bringing the platform to the (from their perspective) 5 or so people in the non-Japanese speaking world who also like MegaTen. With strong enough artwork, though, something based on it would probally be big stateside (didn't the Matrix games do well, despite not being all that good)... but who would bankroll it? Title: Re: Any chance of SMT: I or II coming stateside? Post by: Fenrir on March 14, 2007, 04:20:32 PM I don't see them having motive to translate the Wii version due to profit. I'm not sure why they wouldn't do the Gameboy Version, though it could be becuase the graphics may not be as appealing anymore to the mainstream. I doubt it's the religion thing at this point.
