We knew it was coming, but it doesn't make the fact that Shin Megami Tensei V is exclusive to the Switch (for now) any less surprising. Atlus seems to be putting a lot of faith into the system, but due to some recent information following i...

Ah, the age old question -- Shin Megami Tensei or Persona. Well maybe not "age old," as the original Persona was introduced in 1996, four years after SMT -- it's barely two decades old. But right around Persona 3 is where I starte...

Ever since we came up with the idea for Occamsdex, I have been looking for the excuse to do a Shin Megami Tensei entry, as it is my favorite RPG series. Besides, what would you expect from someone that named themselves after Pixie the ...
