Famitsu has a few more details about Shin Megami Tensei IV like a new character called the Black Samurai.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a deliberate return to the series’ roots. In this feature, we investigate how it fared with fans of the franchise in Japan.

The United Nations sends in a highly trained team equipped with Demonica suits inside the hole. This is where you come in. You’re one of the Strike Team members sent out of the Red Sprite and into the demon filled world… on foot.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey takes the demon summoning series in a different direction. There are less cyberpunk elements, more sci-fi tones, and you’re not in Tokyo.

Two things that usually don’t go together do when Atlus is involved. This media blend covers Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for the Nintendo DS and Trauma Team for Wii.

Reserve Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey at Gamestop and you’ll get an extra Atlus “spoil.” The mega game retailer is giving out a mini-poster as a pre-order gift.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, perhaps more than any other core SMT game, is designed for an international audience which means there is a lot of katakana like “Sukuugusuroo” to wade through.

The ESRB just explained why Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is one of ten “M” rated Nintendo DS games.

Atlus Spoils strikes again! All launch copies of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey include a bonus soundtrack CD.

Less than one percent of all Nintendo DS games have are rated M by the ESRB and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is one of them.

The localized version of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey must be progressing nicely. Atlus also shared screenshots of the English version.

That seems about right. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor took around six months to localize. Strange Journey came out in October so the time line fits.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is probably the first game where I’ve looked forward to dungeon-crawling and revisiting old dungeons with new tools, but my favorite part of the game is still the demons.

With Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey coming tomorrow, more information is being revealed about this latest installment to the SMT series.

Good question. Many Shin Megami Tensei games, even spin-offs like Persona, are set in Japan.
