Random Shin Megami Tensei Fans Voted For Their Top Demon, We Kinda Wish They Hadn't

New game on the horizon?
The Japanese website for Shin Megami Tensei IV has been recently updated with a very curious image of a stone wall accompanied by some text which apparently says something to the effect that in 15,000 tweets a disaster will occur. This could be anything related to the series, but do keep in mind that a representative from...

i've only played SMT:strange journey,and its about the best RPG i've ever played and i've become a total atlus fan so i can't wait for SMT 4.
Finally, a good reason to own a 3DS.
Hopefully this comes to the US.
Yes. This game is US-bound. I'm pre-ordering this game.
@zezhyrule Yes. Because every single 3DS game before this was just so awful...............
Hahahahahaha
Hope there's some more news on an EU version soon. I'm killing myself watching YouTube clips and dreaming of the day I can play it :S
The release date for Europe on this page should be adjusted to TBA or either removed, we're well past Q3 2013 and still no release.
If this would keep the normal schedule of how long the Atlus games take to reach Europe, this should finally arrive next month, but I have a feeling it will still take a long time.
Since almost all Atlus games have arrived six months later to Europe. The worst has been SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked, that took incredibly 1,5 years to reach Europe after Japan/North America release.
It's is insane that his game has been twice on discount in USA already along with the other Atlus games, but Europe hasn't even seen the release yet...
I hope that UK release date and price is correct, I've been waiting way too long for this game.
I had a blast with this game. I love how immersive the world is, with all the side characters sharing their input on what they feel the world should be like in terms of justice, fairness and freedom, therefore making your ultimate law/chaos/neutral decision feel more meaningful.
