Forums - Nintendo - Atlus wants Shin Megami Tensei IV to be the best RPG on the 3DS

Pretendo on 11 August 2012

Very excited for this game. I've played Strange Journey and am currently on the 6th day of Devil Survivor Overclocked. Both are great, but Strange Journey was fantastic, the gameplay, the story, everything. I really hope SMT IV is similar to Strange Journey as far as combat and dungeon-crawling.

What the best 3DS RPG that's out now? Kingdom hearts? Heroes of Ruin? Tales of the Abyss? Other? What do you think?



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I've never played a game in this series. Is the series, itself, any good? If so, there's a couple of PSP games that are only $9 that I can get for the Vita right now while I wait for this one.

Also, has anybody played Tales of the Abyss on the 3DS? I'm interested but I'd rather go off of personal experience than the opinion of a professional games reviewer. At this point, there isn't really much competition for Shin Megami Tensei to be king of the hill on the 3DS.

Easy question, if you have a vita just get Person 4 as soon as it comes out. Success is guaranteed.

Thank you, Satan.  As usual, you always have the right answers!

It does not need to be the best. That's subjective. It just needs to be enjoyable.

It should strive to be the best. The industry needs it. (and so does the 3DS)

@mothman. Which games are considered Shin Megami Tensei? Are all the branches still considered part of the Megami Tensei series?

SMT1, SMT2, SMT If..., SMT: Strange Journey, SMT3/Nocturne, and SMT Nine (though I don't know if Atlus considers Nine on the same level as the others since it supposedly wasn't that good and it wasn't even developed by Atlus).

Games like Persona, Devil Survivor, Devil Summoner, and Digital Devil Saga aren't labeled with a "SMT" in Japan but they're still labeled like that in the West. They're all similar in ways (especially because they use the share the same demons, or in the Persona games, Personas) so I personally just put them all under the SMT label. But the ones I posted above, as well as SMT4, are the ones that are officially "SMT" games, though SMT1-4 are the only mainline games though a few others are called SMT as well.

What Soriku said. We call 'em all SMT games in NA.

Persona 4 The Golden is going to force me to buy a Vita. I just know it.
