Shin Megami Tensei 3 Remastered Shipped 500K Units

[ILikeFeet]

from an article about a new figure

deepl translation

Let's go to ....... This has become a big deal. Jinshura is one of the most popular characters in the "Shin Megami Tensei" series among the fans. Since this is a bust of her, there is no way they can compromise on perfection. And when it comes to the 1/1 scale, there's no room for error. In addition, thanks to the sales of the game "Shin Megami Tensei III: NOCTURNE HD REMASTER", which has sold over 500,000 copies, the price of the bust is said to be close to that amount.

I was one of them! I haven't played it much but I gotta support my Nocturne.

 

[Mediking]

Good for Atlus and Atlus' fans

 

[MaxAugust]

I suspect that is a very good return on their investment.

Wish they had put some more effort into the port but it is alright. Glad to see SMT doing well.

 

[Faiyaz]

That's pretty decent right, seeing how the best selling entry in the series is at 600k?

(3 platforms versus 1 probably helped a lot though, but still).

 

[Kalor]

They had shipped 250k in April before the western release so roughly half from the localization, probably 200k at minimum.

 

[Crayolan]

So is that good? Not sure what a remaster from this series would be expected to sell.

 

[Capra]

The power of Raidou

One of the better performances of a mainline SMT game, at least.

 

[Mocha Joe]

Not bad.

I refuse to pay more than $15 when there is a 30 FPS lock on the Steam version.

 

[mrmickfran]

DDS remastered next pls

 

[matt1996]

It had done around 250k in Japan and Asia around April

Yeah that's great. It might be more than the original release already, if not pretty close.

 

[Homura]

That's way higher than I expected and I'm happy about it.
I thought it flopped.

 

[Philippo]

Did my part.
Still grinding to prepare for final dungeon on TDE.

 

[raketenrolf]

Not bad considering how much it cost with the dlc not even included. Bought the Switch version but didn't play it yet.

Is it already possible to mod the Steam release to play at 60fps?

 

[Cerulean_skylark]

DDS next please :D

 

[cowbanana]

I did my part. I never played the game before this release. I completed the game and I loved it.

 

[Capra]

DDS remastered next pls

Click to shrink...

DDS next please :D

Click to shrink...

So I just realized a remaster of DDS probably wouldn't have this in it:



I don't know if I'm willing to make this sacrifice

 

[FallenGrace]

This.

I actually liked them more than Nocturne, and I loved Nocturne.

I mean, its not that important of a song XD, i'll be happy not to potentially not listen to Sara singing in english or Cielo's Patois

 

[FinFunnels]

That's honestly a lot better than I expected. I hope this leads to more remasters from Atlus.

Also, please fix the internal resolution in the Steam version!

 

[Nucarn]

Sincerely believe this could do better if it was not a remaster selling for 50€ still waiting for a more digestible price for this before I jump in!

 

[Mercador]

I was one of them but only played 20 hours. Now I wonder if I cancel my SMTV preorder or not.

 

[Deleted member 93062]

Pretty solid, gives me a bit more optimism about SMTV sales.

 

[makonero]

i meant to buy it, but never got around to it. now with smtv, i'm gonna have to skip it. might come back around next year sometime.

 

[Ouroboros]

The power of Raidou Dante from the Devil May Cry Series

Click to shrink...

Fixed.

 

[jungius]

what great is that they don't sell it heavily discounted, so moar profit for them congrats

what's not great is that was a bad remaster with only 30 fps, some bugs and distorted bgm, I don't want to encourage them giving us more bad remasters in future.

 

[Capra]

Fixed.

Click to shrink...

Mark my words, they're preparing for a Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha reboot. There's no way NotRaidou in V isn't indicating at something. Dante's days are numbered.

Dames May Cry

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Nice numbers for one of my favorite games. I'm hoping it will have a nice sale on Black Friday.

 

[Dust]

They didn't fix the OST, right?

 

[LazyLain]

I'm conflicted... on one hand that's great, on the other hand it was a bit substandard and way overpriced so it's a little unfortunate that it still sold so well. Whatever, I'm a hypocrite who bought it anyway because I really want 'em to bring more stuff to PC.

Still, fingers crossed that if they do Digital Devil Saga, it's a 2-for-1 package for $60 and not $60 apiece. DDS already has voice acting, which is presumably the most expensive new addition in the Nocturne remaster.

I would love that. I had both on PS2 for the longest time and just recently played and really enjoyed them.

Also it seems like Sega has a hole to fill with Lost Judgement putting an end to that series. I could imagine them giving RGG the reigns to make a Raidou game in the Dragon Engine with more of a focus on investigation and a crazy story like the first game. It's too perfect a fit to not happen.

 

[werezompire]

Torn between wanting SMT to succeed and not wanting to reward Atlus for charging a high price for a mediocre port. Such a classic game deserved better.

 

[Dreamboum]

Could have been higher if they put more meaningful effort in that port. It's just merely playable, not a definitive edition I could say would make me shelve my PS2 original copy.

 

[DJwest]

Had to buy it to support SMT. Now give us Devil Summoner and Digital Devil Saga

 

[Chief Malik]

It's a barebones port and underserved too

 

[Xita]

Great news! Happy to support SMT.

 

[Chief Malik]

The game is still on psn, I don't see why it wouldn't

 

[Chief Malik]

The Demi fiend is my favorite design ever

 

[HylianSeven]

I'm going to give the hot take that it's a good port in the best of a bad situation. Changing too much would be detrimental to the game. Changing stuff like having an option to choose inherited skills in fine, but I feel like changing too much would easily compromise the original. They said in an interview they made sure to respect the original, unlike Strange Journey Redux.

There's plenty of frustrations with this remaster, such as the technical issues and lack of higher quality music, but I think the gains it made make it better than the original, and still preserves the original experience, which is exactly what I wanted.

I do echo the sentiment that it was overpriced though.

 

[StereoVSN]

I am disappointed by PC port so going to wait for a deep sale. It is good though that SMT is selling well.

 

[VeryBerryPunch]

I bought it to support SMT on PC but not until it was $30 or less

The quality of the port did not match up with that price tag
I wouldn't be surprised if it sold the least on PC by a wide margin because of that

 

[FakePlasticTree]

I like the game a lot but the remaster was not worth its price, once it lowers I might check it out.

 

[Trigger]

It's time for DDS next. I haven't played the games in years.

 

[Deluxera]

I would have bought it to support the franchise but the unacceptable quality of the port made me skip. Now if I find it under a certain price I will get it but it's not a priority at all.

 

[Soupbones]

Wound up picking this up on PS4/5 after playing SMTV for a bit on Switch. I've only played IV (which I loved).

I'm only a hour into 3, but wow - that opener has me a lot more intrigued than V, that's for sure!
