Shin Megami Tensei finally in english

[Frogacuda]

Seemingly out of no where, our old freind, and devoted Megami Tensei fan Gideon Zhi has released a complete translation of Shin Megami Tensei for SNES. Considered by many to be one of the finest RPGs of the 16 bit generation, and every bit the superior of Final Fantasy, seeing this game get a full transhack is a big deal and a long time in coming. Most of you have probably never heard of this game or the many, many, MANY others in the series (there are more than 30) but it is the third most popular RPG series in japan. If you've played the persona games, these were spun off from that, but most of the proper games got left in japan because of heavy satanic themes. But wounds are being healed, and now all of us english speakers can play this game as it was meant to be.

Now GO and download!

This is why emulation is a good thing.

I wholeheartidly agree this is why it's good.... Now I just need to find "it" so I can apply the translation

The ROM is amost always called "Digital Devil Story 1.0" because people are stupid.

damn! i thought someone was gonna localize Shin Megami Tensei Nine or something! i never played any of the MegaTen games besides Persona 1 and i still have persona 2 shrinkwrapped cause i'm still on my 2nd go in Valkyrie Profile at the moment. never did beat Persona 1. it was a good game but my save file got messed up so i didn't feel like starting from scratch. too bad i don't like playing games on my comp screen all that much either since whenever i'm on it i always feel compelled to surf the web or something. and i agree with the emulation comments

Are you ready for this shocker, guys? I actually think that this is a valid use for emulation. The original developers never had a chance to reap profits from the West, so there is nothing lost from a translated ROM.

Damn, I wish there was some way to play this on my SNES. I don't have a copier (nor do I plan on dropping $200+ on one). I guess my only option for playing this on a console is to wait for DreamSNES to get a major speed boost (SMT seems to run ok on it, just very slowly). I'd really like to play SMT, as I've been waiting for a translation for a long time now. Ah well, it'll likely be fine in emulation on my PC.
