As usual, the Japanese monthly range of Switch Online offerings is slightly different from the west.
Japan’s titles in February include Psycho Dream, Mario’s Super Picross (already available in the west), Solomon’s Key 2 (Fire ‘n Ice) and the highlight of the lot is Atlus’ 1994 Super Famicom JRPG, Shin Megami Tensei II.
This follows the release of the original Shin Megami Tensei to the NSO service last July. Here’s a little, through a rough translation of Nintendo’s Japanese website:
The second in the Shin Megami Tensei series. A new election of a new hero will determine the future of the world.
This title is a Super Nintendo role-playing game released in 1994. The sequel to “Shin Megami Tensei” is set in TOKYO Millennium, a city formerly known as Tokyo. In addition to fighting demons, we sometimes negotiate to increase the number of demons (fellow demons) and challenge strong enemies.
While maintaining the feature that the ending changes greatly depending on the actions and options of the main character, various elements have been added such as the legacy of magic in the union of demons and the “virtual butler” who can acquire points of experience through training in the virtual space.
These games will be available on Nintendo Japan’s Switch Online service on February 17 (same date as Western versions). If you want to play Shin Megami Tensei II, you will need to have access to a Japanese Switch account and the Super Famicom app.
