Ah, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. Produced back in the pre-Persona craze days, when Atlus USA could only afford to do one print run of any given series (a rep they still hold today, though to a much lesser degree), Atlus’ PS2-bound Hindu-reference paradise was the one to hold onto, especially the second installment, Digital Devil Saga 2. Prior to a reprint, copies of that game𓂃 were going for more than $100 on eBay and Amazon. Now that age is over, for Europeans at least.
Ghostlight – the UK-based publisher of most games that Atlus, XSEED and Aksys usually handle in the New World – will be releasing both Digital Devil Saga games on the PlayStation Store “in the near future”. Whenever that near future happens, anyone with a European PSN/SEN account and access to appropriate monies will be able to download some digitally-delivered devilry. Note, this is merely a rerelease, and not some HD remake.
There’s no word as to whether this will happen for North America, though. If it does happen, maybe they should consider rereleasing Devil Summoner next. ?! Pffft!
