Latest Shin Megami Tensei game taking a Strange Journey to North America

Atlus announced today that it will bring over the first-person DS RPG Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey in Spring 2010 (of course). The game features the demon negotiation that SMT fans associate with the series, in a new storyline involving a mysterious black hole opening up at the South Pole.
It looks like the kind of thing that would appeal not only to fans of games like SMT 3: Nocturne, but also to people who enjoy the DS's dungeon RPGs like Etrian Odyssey, to which it bears a strong resemblance. Journey into our gallery for screens and art.

Yes, yes, Atlus. This all very nice and all, but where is Persona 5?

Still in development innit?

Not even in development, afaik. And I'm glad, Persona's great and all but I just want SMT4. I get that Persona is what most people know in the SMT series, but I want a new core game.
Also this one doesn't really look that great, but in the tiny screenshots I saw I couldn't really tell what was going on, and I'm not a big fan of first-person dungeons.

Oh, I don't want to play it. I want a new Endurance Run.
Get a Persona 4-2 in here, and I'm gonna piss myself.

Persona 5 hasn't been officially announced but various sources have listed it (Including Sony).

Peter Moore getting downvoted! what has the world come to?
Peter Moore @ Nov 6th 2009 10:07AM
I've been downvoted before. Quite often too.

Why is everyone downvoting Peter here? He has a legitimate point! There's been approximately a million (or three) Persona games, two on the DS since P4. Also, I understand Japan is probably going to get it first, and even they haven't heard anything yet, pretty much guaranteeing there will be no P5 in the US in 2010, as I had hoped.

The character on the front of the box reminds me of Isaac Clarke from Dead Space.

Oh boy! I can't wait for the Cybermen vs Dalek boss battle!

What boss battles? They would be called [The] Master battles.

Seriously?
Look. It's one thing to be spambot. It's quite another to be a spambot with such atrocious grammar.
Can't you at least *try* to take some pride in your shameless hawking of your wares?

Thanks atlus for allowing us to take this strange journey toward ultimate gaming.

Of course Atlus will publish their own game that THEY DEVELOP.
It's only natural.

Etrian Odyssey 1 and 2 were and still are some of the best DS games ever made.
I have high hopes from this game.
Also, can't wait to 7th Dragon, looks fantastic.

Why does the boxart have to be so ugly? .-.
Mr.ESC @ Nov 6th 2009 12:26PM
I'll keep an eye on this.

Though the Persona series isn't known for it's plausible scenarios, I still find it kind of funny: a black hole at the South Pole? Not only does it rhyme, but it must be a weakling black hole, to not suck up our entire planet in a sec.
