Shin Megami Tensei IV costs $50

GE: "If you want to play Shin Megami Tensei IV, you’ll need to fork over a bit of extra cash. The game will cost a bit more than the average 3DS title."

Given this is Shin Megami game, its probably worth it. Still, I don't support this. The ego on these people to assume that they're game should be priced higher than most other 3DS game.

Snookies124034d ago

I questioned Uncharted for that on Vita as well. Not to mention Call of Duty Vita. Good god, charging $50 for a game that you could beat in an hour lol!

It seems excessive, but ATLUS seems to be pulling out all the stops for this one. It has a branching storyline instead of the linear storyline found in recent Persona games. It has over 400 demons to capture and fuse, while Persona 4 Golden had barely 100.

Plus, ATLUS typically throws in an art book, soundtrack, etc

SMT Strange Journey came out in 2010. Persona 4 came out on PS2 in 2008, I think. SMT: Devil Summoner 2 was 2009. So, it has been at least three years since a full-blown SMT game.

While I do agree with you.
I think their reasoning behind this is this is the 1st major SMT core title in a few years, The last one was Nocturne.
This is also gonna be fully voice acted.

Not saying this justifies the price gouge but I also see why they're doing it

Like say if SE released Kingdom hearts 3 on the 3DS for 50$ I can see where that's coming from *Don't murder me vita fans this is hypothetical...*

jc485734034d ago (Edited 4034d ago )

maybe they are using a different cartridge. Remember what happened to REvelations, but they were forced to sell it for 40 in the end.

chadboban4034d ago

It's the first mainline MegaTen game since Nocturne on the PS2 back in 2003. I've been waiting ten years for this! Knowing most Shin Megami Tensei games, it'll probably be worth it. Still a lot of folks probably won't see it that way and will probably won't get it till the price goes down which is understandable as most new 3DS games retail for $40.

I'm just so freaking happy that we're getting it so soon!

Whitefox7894034d ago

Considering I've put in over 100 hours into Nocturne and still haven't found everything (nearly have); I'm certain it'll be worth it.

TongkatAli4034d ago (Edited 4034d ago )

It's going to be worth every cent. Atlus FTW!

Whitefox7894034d ago

I'm just pumped its coming stateside. Hopefully next they'll announce localization for UK.

I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.

TeamIcoFan1512d ago

Why, so you can pirate those versions as well?

Neonridr1512d ago

my kid played through Mario 3D Land on his 2DS. Was still a great game with or without the 3D. A Link Between Worlds is awesome with the 3D effect, but it would still be an amazing game if it wasn't 3D

XxINFERNUSxX1512d ago

It's true I mostly torrent PC games very few I will buy but Switch games I buy just a few though and only ones that are at least a 9 out of 10 rating. 👍😁

ifrit_caress1512d ago

Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.

King_Noctis1512d ago

The World End With You is already on the Switch.

Segata1512d ago

That was DS not 3DS and it's already on Switch.

Rebel_Scum1512d ago

How can you have Ocarina in the list and not Majoras Mask as well. Weird.

The correct answer is Kid Icarus Uprising.

Top 10 Best Atlus Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to naming gaming’s most revered and fan honored labels, it’s hard to top Atlus. The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"

How can Persona 4 Golden not be here? That must be a mistake.

RazzerRedux1543d ago

Because of their own stupid self-imposed rule:

"Only 1 game per main series but spinoffs are ok."

knickstr1544d ago

I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.

TheColbertinator1544d ago

Nocturne, DDS and Devil Survivor 2 are all missing. Weak list.

KaiPow1543d ago

Yeah, I would certainly replace SMT IV with Nocturne on that list. Team over the original TC is another strange choice.

MWH1543d ago

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is my personal favorite.

RazzerRedux1543d ago

Until P5, P3 was my favorite. They are all so good though.

ecchiless1543d ago

Atlus need to remake persona 2 sin and eternal, best persona games for me.

MWH1543d ago

man that would be a gamer's wet dream coming true.
