Saving cities from destruction? There’s an app for that.

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — JUNE 7, 2011 — ATLUS today revealed plans to publish Shin Megami Tensei®: Devil Survivor 2 for Nintendo DS, the sequel to the award-winning, fan favorite RPG/SRPG hybrid, in North America next year. What would people do if they could see others’ deaths before they come to pass? As devastation and ruin begin to spread, the player will have to use a mysterious website with the power to predict casualties in order to save lives, save themselves, and ultimately, save the city.

Building on the original game’s acclaimed foundation of accessible turn-based combat with elements of grid-based strategy, Devil Survivor 2 delivers everything fans loved about the first game: an intense narrative with multiple endings based on player actions, the beautiful visuals and sounds the Shin Megami Tensei series is renowned for, the addicting challenge of collecting, customizing, auctioning, and fusing every last demon in the game, and much more. Moreover, a system akin to the Social Links found in Persona 3 and 4 allows players to invest time in developing bonds with their party members to unlock special rewards. Those relationships become all the more precious since every party member in the game is vulnerable to permanent death based on critical player choices over the course of the game. Every decision could easily be a matter of life and death.

Immerse yourself in the 3D world of Hideo Kojima’s jungle epic

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has revealed the full name of its first METAL GEAR SOLID title for Nintendo 3DS™. METAL GEAR SOLID : SNAKE EATER 3D is a reworked update of the best-selling PlayStation®2 title, and brings that game’s stunning jungle setting to vibrant life using the handheld’s glasses-free 3D imaging system.

METAL GEAR SOLID : SNAKE EATER 3D is set in the 60s during the Cold War, and sees series hero Snake infiltrating the Russian jungle to bring back a scientist being held captive against his will. Starting on the outskirts of a military base, the player must use Snake’s stealth skills along with the foliage and shade that the jungle offers as cover to infiltrate unseen. As the game progresses, old faces make unwelcome appearances and a series of terrifying boss characters must be defeated before leading up to a dramatic twist that brings Snake face to face with a key figure from his past…

Update: The forum seems to have 100% functionality, though staying logged in on the main site appears to be an issue. We’ll look into that!

I just realized that the forum kept logging people off about every 5 minutes! That was a result of the technical stabilizability that we were aiming for earlier. With any luck, the site shouldn’t be down today and you should also be able to log into the forum now.

I hope.

Please send us an email if you see any issues!

Sorry about little downtime there. Our technical overlord was trying to ensure that the sites won’t go down later in case of traffic overload. Have to be cautious!

Anyway, Nintendo’s E3 2011 conference starts in just a few hours. I’ll be making posts on the site until then, but keep in mind that you can look forward to a live-blog from Austin (granted he has access to Wi-Fi in the Nokia Theater). Additionally, I’ll be posting live news updates on the site. As I’ve said previously, it’s very possible that you’ll see something on the blog but not on the site, and vise versa. So you may just want to keep tabs on both.

I’ll be making another post before the conference. I believe Austin will try to have the live blog ready by 10:45 AM EDT, so check back on the site for that.
