As usual, Japan’s monthly schedule of Switch Online offers is slightly different from the west.
Titles for Japan in February include Psychotic dream, Mario’s Super Picross (already available in the west), Solomon’s Key 2 (Fire ‘n Ice) and the highlight of the lot is the Super Famicom JRPG 1994 from Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei II.
This follows the release of the original Shin Megami Tensei in the NSO service last July. Here’s a little bit about it, through a rough translation from Nintendo’s Japanese website:
The second in the Shin Megami Tensei series. A new choice of a new hero will determine the future of the world.
This title is an RPG game released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo. The sequel to “Shin Megami Tensei” takes place in TOKYO Millennium, a city formerly known as Tokyo. In addition to fighting demons, we sometimes negotiate to increase the number of demons (fellow demons) and challenge strong enemies.
While maintaining the characteristic that the ending changes a lot depending on the actions and choices of the main character, several elements such as magic inheritance in demonic union and “virtual butler” that can acquire experience points by training in virtual space have been added.
These games will be available on Nintendo Japan’s Switch Online service on February 17 (the same date as Western releases). If you would like to play Shin Megami Tensei II, you need to have access to a Japanese Switch account and the Super Famicom app.
