Mysterious ad hints at new Atlus DS 'Devil' game photo

A sparse two-page advertisement showed up in the most recent Famitsu magazine. The spread mentions a game called Devil Survivor, and sports both the Nintendo DS and Atlus logos. The text says that a full reveal will take place in 7 days.

The fine folks at Siliconera point out that the small text at the bottom might point to another Shin Megami Tensei spin-off.  In this SMT fan's eyes, that's great news. The last spin-off to use the Megami Ibunroku was Persona, and we know how much that game is loved.

Devil Survivor? What kind of game does that sound like to you? Could this be a non-RPG title? Maybe a portable survival-style game?

I don't care if it's terrible, I'd buy the shit out of a portable SMT game if it's released stateside.

I'm just hoping it's not a roguelike.

Oldschool SMT game with Etrian Odyssey engine plox. I hope it's not like Persona, I'll have had more than enough of that formula after P4 thanks.
