Ike Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Well there's another game off the Christmas list. Short list this year.
Magnus Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 On the one hand, this means we'll be lucky to get it within a year and a half of the American release... ... On the other hand, I wouldn't have been able to afford it right now anyway, so this is good news (or at least not bad news) for me.
-Dem0- Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 It's good and bad news. Less handheld games for the last quarter of 2012, but another two added on to the already impressive list of games coming in 2013. But this would also help put the focus almost entirely on the WiiU now.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Problem for me is that the first quarter for next year is already packed with games on the HD twins and then once Monster Hunter hits no other games need apply.

Ghostlight twitter says they will announce the release date "Soon" and it will definitely not launch in February. The twitter guy also claims he has had no news on a Devil Survivor 2 release date yet. Does Ghostlight consist of a staff of two people? Two years to release a game that has already been translated into English.
Ike Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Up for preorder for £23.99 at Amazon, not a bad price!

Two years to release a game that has already been translated into English. Unbelievable. As much as I appreciate their efforts, this whole situation smacks of incompetence. With this and the whole palava surrounding Persona 4 Arena, it's crazy to think that Atlus still have not established their own EU publishing arm!
Magnus Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) At the current pace it's taking to bring this to Europe, I expect Devil Survivor 2: Overclocked will be announced, released and brought over to the US, while we'll still be waiting another year to play the first one. Hugs and kisses to Nintendo for region-locking the 3DS. Edited February 14, 2013 by Magnus
Woz Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 is 'Shin-Megami-Tensei-Strange-Journey' a different title to the 2 titles mention above?
-Dem0- Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 is 'Shin-Megami-Tensei-Strange-Journey' a different title to the 2 titles mention above? Yes, it's a different game from the Devil Survivor series.
Woz Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 thanks, is it worth importing seeing as though it won't be released here?
Magnus Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 thanks, is it worth importing seeing as though it won't be released here? Strange Journey is worth importing if you're into first-person dungeon crawlers. Not sure why you're asking in this thread, though. :p
Woz Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 sorry and thanks, it is because they both have shin migami in front of them. I have been intrigued by all three titles for a while and was unsure about what was what. I shall say no more!
Grazza Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 No harm in asking questions about titles you want to know more about, @Woz. Very easy to get these games confused.
Magnus Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 This has apparently entered manufacturing now and they're hoping it'll be out before the end of March. I won't believe it until I'm holding it in my cold, dead hands, but the game may actually be released soon!
-Dem0- Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Yup, Magnus was right, the title has finally entered manufacturing. "Hi everyone. I’m pleased to report we now have some light at the end of the tunnel for SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked and I’m pleased to be able to report that the game has now entered manufacturing. I realise that this long wait has been frustrating for everyone and on behalf of everyone here at Ghostlight, I would like to thank you all for your patience. Of course the question you all want to know the answer to is, “when is it coming out?” Well, I can tell you that while the date it is not yet 100% confirmed, we are expecting to release the game across Europe towards the end of March in time for Easter. Please keep your eyes peeled, as we will be announcing the confirmed release date in the next couple of weeks and we’ll also be opening up pre-orders through our site. In other news, the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine not only contains a stunning 87% review for Devil Survivor Overclocked (the highest score this month by the way), but there’s also a review of our rather brilliant 3DS driving game, Crash City Mayhem, which they’ve awarded 75% calling it “Shamelessly ridiculous driving fun.” Finally, just a little reminder for all you Atlus fans out there that Maken Shao: Demon Sword will be coming to PSN as part of the PS2 Classics programme next week. That’s all for now – I’m off to start work evaluating a cool little JRPG on PSP which I hope to be telling you more about very soon J" http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/devil-survivor-overclocked-enters-manufacturing
Ike Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Finally has a release date: Devil Survivor Overclocked will at long last be released on April 5th (2013 ) and will be priced at £34.99 through the Ghostlight Store. As a special thank you to everyone who orders through the Ghostlight Store, we will be eliminating the postage cost for our UK customers and reducing the overseas postage and packaging by the same amount. And that’s not all as we will also be including a must have A1 double-sided poster (sent rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube) featuring the stunning box art on one side, whilst on the other there will be an amazing panoramic view of Tokyo handpicked from the wealth of incredible artwork created by the Atlus team.
Magnus Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I guess that's nice of them, but it's £24 on Amazon, so I think I'll pass on paying £11 (plus shipping!) for a poster. Edited March 2, 2013 by Magnus
Tamazoid Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 So around 2 weeks before Fire Emblem? What a smart business decision. I'll probably wait until they have a sale on their online store and get the poster. Seems like most games on their online store still have preorder bonuses included.
Magnus Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I'm actually more excited about this than the new Fire Emblem, but I realize I'm in the minority on that one. :p Edit: Haha, apparently Atlus has just announced Devil Survivor 2: Break Code - an enhanced port of the second game for the 3DS - for release in Japan this summer. Ghostlight must be thrilled. I look forward to playing it in 2015. Edited March 2, 2013 by Magnus
Captain Falcon Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 So it turns out Devil Survivor 2 is getting the 3DS remake treatment too - maybe they will just skip on releasing DS2 (DS) in EU and go straight for the remake instead.
Magnus Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 It's probably a bit late for that if the game has already entered manufacturing. I bet this is karma for taking so long to release Overclocked.
Captain Falcon Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 It's probably a bit late for that if the game has already entered manufacturing. I bet this is karma for taking so long to release Overclocked. I thought the quote for entering manufacturing is for Overclocked and not DS2?
Magnus Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 As far as I know, both games are being released on the same date, so I'm just assuming both have entered manufacturing. Edit: Maybe not, Devil Survivor 2 doesn't have a date on Ghostlight's website.
Captain Falcon Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Maybe this can be a chance to rectify the translation delays and perhaps an instance where Nintendo could step in and offer some guidance/assistance as part of their strategy to get Japanese games out to the rest of the world faster. Even if it only too a year to come out from it's Japanese release, it's quicker than Overclocked and faster than DS2 would have been if saw a near release.
