According to an article on 1UP, Atlus will be making some changes and including some additions to the PSP version of Devil Summoner -- it'll also include a trailer for the new Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou game...
Not content with a straight port to PSP, Sega Saturn classic and Shin Megami Tensei spin-off Devil Summoner is receiving an upgrade on PSP.
Gamers who've played the Shin Megami Tensei games on PS2 can attest to the series' high difficulty. Since Devil Summoner is known for being a tough and somewhat unbalanced game, Atlus is completely re-tooling it for the PSP audience. They're planning on going through and all of the enemy stats so it becomes "An RPG that anyone can casually enjoy."
Atlus wants to make the game "quick and fun," and as a result, the battles, load times, and confusing aspects of the game are being fixed up. "When comparing it to the Saturn version, it's almost a completely different game," the team says. "It's been reborn in a good way."
Other additions to the PSP version include the ability to save the game at any time, a new ultimate boss, a Demon Encylopedia that was originally released in Japan as a fan disc to the original game, and a trailer for the PS2 Devil Summoner game coming next year.
The Japanese version of Devil Summoner PSP is scheduled for a December 22nd release. There are rumors about a certain company that likes SMT games planning on bringing it to the US, so with some luck we'll see it stateside in 2006.
