Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Director Interested In A Remake

[Strings]

Source (in Japanese) - ryokuta2089 is rock solid when it comes to this sort of stuff.

English article.

Taken from a small development update on SMT V (which should be in this upcoming Weekly Famitsu), producer Kazuyuki Yamai (the director of the Maniax additions to Nocturne / writer on the game proper) randomly mentions that ~ 'we are constantly considering a port/remake of III - Nocturne, I'd like to aim for opportunities'.

So obviously, don't take this as any kind of confirmation - it comes off more as Yamai being interested in the idea than actually actively doing it, but it's still a pretty big deal that he'd even bring it up in the first place.

Thoughts, opinions? Condemn me to the apocalypse if old.

EDIT: Clarified Yamai's role.

Nocturne is the only mainline SMT that wasn't on a Nintendo platform so a remaster for Switch would make sense in the run up to SMTV.

 

[PancakeFlip]

Oh yeah! This is in my top 5 games.

 

[Dust]

It's the best game Atlus ever made so they need to do it sooner or later.

 

[snausages]

It's the best one and it features Dante from the Devil May Cry series so hopefully

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I feel that whenever Atlus brings up something like this unsolicited, it means it's not gonna happen for a long ass time.

 

[RadioJoNES]

Yes Atlus papi please gimme gimme

 

[Dynamite Cop]

Nice. Leave out Dante.

 

[Zeroro]

I'd even take a remaster with fusion mechanics updated to how they are in recent games.

Also, put Raidou back in there instead of Dante. I don't want Dante.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Is it going to be based on Maniax featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series or Maniax Chronicle featuring Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV from the Devil Summoner series?

Pretty much... this ^

 

[SolidSnakex]

And now a new crop of gamers will know this hell

 

[DrMoguera]

Hopefully the fact that they're thinking of Nocturne means good things for SMT V.

 

[Taruranto]

I'm more interested in a DDS port since a lot of people ignored those when they came out and they could definitely benefit from more exposure, but nice.

Nice. Leave out Dante.

You are not going to get either Dante or Raidou, but Yukiko from the popular Persona 4 series.

[Spinosaurus]

Will it feature Bayonetta this time?

(In any case, give me a remake!)

 

[Oregano]

Considering it would likely be a Switch release it would have to be the one that doesn't require Capcom's involvement.:P

 

[Exebiel]

I wonder where is the survey results from ATLUS? Maybe there's a chance for a remake beyond the director's petition.

And if a possible remake could happen... No Dante / Raidou Kuzunoha?

 

[Mr. Capo]

Can't wait for a shoved in waifu.

Then they might add Donte.

well played

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Would love to see this on Switch before SMTV.

 

[Namyu]

Day 1

 

[closer]

Fuck yes
As long as they keep the washed out feel

 

[_zoipi]

Give me just a remaster with better framerate, some quirky extended extra dungeon or quest. It still looks and feel great and maybe just need some texture work.

After that, a bundle with both Digital Devil Saga, objectively the best SMT on Ps2 (not counting Persona). Fight me.

 

[Capra]

SMT Nocturne for Switch - Featuring Bayonetta from the Bayonetta Series. Make it so.

Edit: Actually this makes a scary amount of sense considering Bayonetta's ties to both Sega and Nintendo, Atlus now being owned by Sega, and mainline SMT's apparent exclusivity to Nintendo consoles.

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

Well he and I have something in common then.

 

[Deleted member 46493]

Hope it happens - all they need to do is make it HD and let us choose what skills to inherit. That's it!

 

[Danielsan]

I would love this so damn much. I wish any of the Megaten games released since Nocturne came close to that game, but sadly none of them have. It's so damn good.

 

[FakePlasticTree]

If Atlus is gonna remake a game it usually means they are adding something new in to justify it. And I'm all aboard with that! Love Lucifer's Call.

 

[citrusred]

I'd play it anyways, I didn't have enough experience with RPG's to enjoy it the first time I played it years ago.

 

[Weiss]

It doesn't really need a remake. Just replace Dante with Raidou and let you pick skills when fusing.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Nocturne Remaster on Switch would make alot of sense before SMT V.

Do it.

 

[TongPoo]

Before SMT5 or after? Anyway, day one in a heart beat.

 

[HylianSeven]

I've been saying it forever, a Nocturne remake for Switch would just make perfect sense and I hope they end up doing it. It would be a great thing to fill time before SMTV comes out and build hype for it, as well as get Nocturne to a ton of people that have likely never played it.

 

[Xagarath]

I mean all we need is improved skill inheritance, better saving options and a way to skip Puzzle Boy.

 

[Glio]

A remaster in which he could play on a handheld and make it more accessible would be a blessing

Also add Dante for a fun mix?

Nice, would love to eat parasites with my eyes again.

Oh god, fuck Puzzle Boy.

Nah throw Raidou in to establish precedence for the inevitable Devil Summoner 3 co-developed by Platinum Games.

 

[Eolz]

I doubt they'll do a remake. But as said in the other thread, if they do a remaster, hope they fix the controls and some other bits.

 

[snausages]

Tbh I'd like as low res a port as possible cause I figure a lot of that games look is locked up in its 480 presentation

 

[Deleted member 11008]

Actually I would like Atlus port every Megaten to modern systems, but especially Raidou Kuzunoha, just to continue what Soul Hackers did for 3DS.

 

[MontlyCure]

Yes then they can finally do the soundtrack justice by not having the sound quality be terrible.

 

[HotsauceDragon]

GO GET THE BUFFS!

 

[KiNolin]

Nocturne with Doi art downgrade and waifus added. no thanks, not trusting modern Atlus.

 

[rude]

It just needs a remaster with a fusing system that actually makes sense

 

[snausages]

Btw, total tangent but did anyone here ever buy those digital devil saga ports on PS3 PSN and find them unplayably slow? Like they were running in a bad emulator

Just remembering it now cause Nocturne is also up on PSN (that port is better I think)

 

[mudai]

DO IT! I'd love to see a remake of Nocturne.
