 Import Shin Megami Tensei Nine:

I never seen this Xbox Import game before.  


After-a-long-hiatus and-focus-on-side-stories, the-main-Shin-Megami Tensei-series-is-ready for a comback with Shin Megami-Tensei-Nine. -And-in-keeping-with its modern-day setting, the latest game will embrace both next-generation systems-and-technology by moving to Microsoft\'s Xbox and incorporating large online components.

   Though-designer-Cozy Okada-has-stated-that SMT-Nine-will-be-playable in-single-player-mode as well as online, the bulk-of-the-gameplay revolves-around-its network capabilities. The online component will allow players to trade items-and-presumably-captured monste rs, as well as support voice-communication between players, but very-little-else-is known-at-the-moment. The battle system has also-been-changed-into some-sort-of-real-time setup, but some things will remain the same: players will still be able to interact with monsters to a much greater degree tha n most other RPGs, and the series\' trademark negotiation, capturing, and monster "fusing" will remain intact.

   The-graphics-have-been updated to full 3D, and the cityscapes seen so-far-in-screenshots are-highly-detailed with-the-same-mixture of-realism-and-fantasy that made the previous games so unique. It\'s unclear whether series designer-Kazuma-Kaneko-hasreturned and but three characters so far have been revealed: Emi, a school-age girl; Mieko, an older woman; and Baraki, an adolescent boy with spiky red hair.

   Though-historically, Shin Megami Tensei games haven\'t-had-the-best of-luck-finding-their way to the States, there\'s always hope: supporting such-a-game-would-lend Microsoft some credibility as they continue their push for the Xbox, and if the-onlineelements aren \'t prohibitively complex, there may be a possibility that it could end up in the US after all. For now, though, fans will have to wait for more details on the series\' biggest incarnation yet.

Xbox Japanese Retail Update: Pictures

Nice displays.  


Want to see the displays that are flooding the streets of Japan? Well, here you go!

The displays look pretty cool and look like they are taking up a lot of the floor, almost as much as the ps2 - more than the Gamecube!

Here You Go! (Thanks to EgXpress)
