Etrian Odyssey V isn’t the only new 3DS game Atlus is localizing. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux will be released in North America early next year, and likely Europe as well.
Just like the way in which Etrian Odyssey V’s localization was discovered, the news about Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux comes from an Atlus test page. Expect an official announcement soon.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Atlus has been quiet on localization for Etrian Odyssey V, but the game is indeed coming west. A test site spotted on the company’s website reveals a Fall 2017 release in North America with the subtitle “Beyond the Myth”. We also expect Deep Silver to handle publishing in Europe.
Atlus should be following up with an official announcement soon. When we have more news from the publisher, we’ll be sure to let you know.

[Review] Disgaea 5 Complete
Posted on 7 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 7 Comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 23, 2017
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher NIS America
Since its initial launch in 2003, Disgaea has been a flagship series for Nippon Ichi Software – even using Prinny as a mascot – and continues to be nearly 15 years later, having multiple spinoffs and branching off into other mediums such as anime adaptations and manga. What’s made the franchise so great and successful over the years is that not only has it touched multiple platforms on both console and handhelds, but it’s had fun and engaging gameplay that goes beyond the typical layout and flow of a strategy RPG, bringing along a great cast of characters, settings, art, and music to boost. Now Disgaea 5 Complete is making the series’ return to Nintendo consoles on the Switch for the first time since Disgaea DS back in 2008, and packs in all DLC from the original release. Despite the game itself being nearly two years old at this point, it offers those who have held out or simply never jumped into a Disgaea game before a chance to give it a shot. And even though Disgaea isn’t always associated with Nintendo, Disgaea 5 Complete feels comfortable and right at home on Switch, giving RPG and SRPG enthusiasts alike a great new title to get their hands on and delve into.
