Atlus has given Shin Megami Tensei IV a major discount on the North American 3DS eShop. It’s currently available for just $25 – a great sale considering the original $50 price tag. The discount will last through June 30.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

It’s been a long wait for Armillo, but the game is almost ready for release. It may only be a couple of weeks away – at least in Europe – based on a new listing on the eShop.
If the Wii U eShop is correct, Armillo will launch in Europe on July 3. One would also think that the North American launch would take place at around the same time.
