​

It's time to get ready for Atlus' demon-filled RPG series once more, as Shin Megami Tensei V has been formally and officially announced for the Nintendo Switch. A Shin Megami Tensei game was previously teased last year, for release on Nintendo's new console, though only a few seconds of a teaser was shown, and it wasn't confirmed to be SMT V at the time. Atlus has uploaded a 1 minute long trailer which shows the city of Tokyo, as two teenagers, presumably important characters, walk into a train station. Fallen demons are shown strewn about the train station, as footage flickers to a post apocalyptic city, with the word "death" written over the screen. There's no release date for the game, or other information at this time.

Maybe don‘t use align=center on the entire post. From the rules:

That's funny because take a look at this:https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-release-jump-up-super-star-mario-odyssey-musical-video.486510/

He did it. So? and tbh i dont see why they couldn't have just reformatted it. If the issue was Align Left then it would take what 5 seconds to sort out. I mean rather that then creating an entirely new post.

Edit:

If you look at the source code, you would know that he only centered the pics and video.

Welp my point still stands " tbh i dont see why they couldn't have just reformatted it. If the issue was Align Left then it would take what 5 seconds to sort out. I mean rather that then creating an entirely new post."

Edit:

Regarding the Align info, thanks. I will keep that in mind for next time.

This and Odyssey are the only Switch games I've actually been looking forward to. Can't wait!

Normally SMT are turn-based, but I think there is no info regarding this one right now.
I think ATLUS was holding some stream event today in its Japanese channel. Perhaps they show some gameplay there.

Regarding the DS SMT game ("Strange Journey"), hell I loved that one!
If you played "Strange Journey", well that is very alike a main SMT game (even though this one is not numbered so it may be considered spin-off).
If you played a Devil Survivor, those are tactic RPG spin-offs.

Oooh, okay, I'll have to check out that stream event then. I could use some good RPGs for my Switch!

Will need to get a Switch for this.

If this doesn't resemble nocturne, I wouldn't be interested. They butchered the last 3 smt series so much because it wasn't published on home console. Heck, I couldn't even understand how the series actually sold

Because they were still great, and there was s market for it.
That said I also would like them to raise the bar.

Strange Journey is really really good.

 

[eriol33]

Strange Journey is really really good.

I agree, but smt 4 was a disappointment. I am only upset because they really had a low production value. I mean, after we got the glorious 3d battle in nocturne, the monsters in smt 4 only had 3-4 animation and the main character has no animation at all because of the first points view.

 

[MeowMeowMeow]

Fuck yeah!

 

[Windaga]

Super excited. Judging from the abundance of roses and Odin's appearance in the first trailer, it appears that this will be a direct sequel to 4/Apocalypse in both theme and subject matter. Which, makes sense given 5 comes after 4, but it's still cool to see the connection. I'm excited!

aye aye mc is a bad girl

 

[MasterJ360]

i wish they make persona 5 for the switch

Im sure thats what Atlus wanted to do, but Sony has them on a leash for Persona games

 

[sarkwalvein]

We should ask @Yil to curse Sony then...
/OT (/OT... yeah, because that is how it works)

 

[eworm]

Atlus? Check.
Switch version? Check.
Fifth installment? Check.
Persona? Nope.

Dammit, go back to the corner, people, and come back only after you've thought deep and hard about what you've done.

/OT (/OT... yeah, because that is how it works)

A) What did sony do?
B) Why should I run the risk of fighting against several Japanese Priests?
C) Why do you I think I can do something on this scale?
Also Cared more about Octopath Traveller than this. Would love to see Primrose getting her revenge. I would harvest the owner's soul and use it to revive that poor girl.

A) B) C) Because Persona 5 on the Switch deserves it! (but yeah, SONY's corporate priests are a PITA... though some people call them lawyers)

 

[PolloDiablo]

Looks cool. I like how the intro sounds like Ghost in the Shell

I love the fact that every SMT continuity gets released on a different console.

1 + 2 are considered under the same continuity, and both got released on Super Famicom.
3 got released on PS2, 4 and it's sequel on 3DS, and now 5 on the switch.

If this pattern will continue, we might see the 6th game on the PS5.
