You can't keep a good game down. Much like other Atlus releases, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is one of those games that you keep hearing about if you missed it the first time. This 2004 PlayStation 2 release isn't necessarily super-rare, but it's still pretty hard to find. That's why, if interested, you'd want to jump on a reprint right away.
This demonic, super-Japanese RPG has a kind of cult following, as does the rest of the Megami Tensei series games. If you're asking me, its a brilliant game. It's so great that Capcom's Dante (Devil May Cry) even makes an appearance. And that's why I jumped on ordering a copy of the reprint before I told you about it. I'm not trying to be greedy, but I've been looking for a decently priced, well-kept copy for awhile now. We're still good, right?
Play-Asia has Nocturne available for $44.90. This does not come with the soundtrack CD like the original release did. Who cares! You're still getting a kickass JRPG that has been hard to come by for some time now.
What about you? Will you pick this up? Do you already have it?

I will definitely pick this up.
so I'm good
This new arrival of a reprint doesn't upset me at all. If anything, it brings a smile to my face knowing that a bunch of people who didn't know about a game that has this much awesome can now get a chance to play it. I encourage everyone to play Nocturne, get completely frustrated by some of the ridiculously hard bosses, then man up and enjoy this badass game anyway.
The series as a whole is amazing. I already own 3 copies, tow of which are still sealed, but I'm glad this is giving others a chance to play this amazing game. If nothing else it will make me feel like less of a dork for owning many SMT toys....
I didn't buy it when it first came out, but I was amazingly lucky enough to stumble upon a used copy that still had the manual and soundtrack in it a little over a year ago. I've never looked at games the same way after playing this. It's THAT good.
Why can't they wait until summer when there's time and money to play games!?!?
People who've played it know what I mean. :O)
