i'm a nerd and i'm bitching about nintendo games.

I don't understand why nobody has translated the PS1 remakes of Shin Megami Tensei I and II. The Super Famicom ones are kind of hard to navigate because all the hallways look exactly the same and the PS1 versions mix that up at least a little bit.

I am a huge faggot for the SMT series (obviously <-------) and I've played most of the games. I tend to rank them thusly:

1) Nocturne
2) Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment (Two parts of the same game, basically)
3) Devil Survivor
4) Persona 4
5) Persona 3 (Preferably the portable version, since it has GURL MODE)
6) Digital Devil Saga 2
7) Digital Devil Saga 1
8) Strange Journey
9) Persona 1

I haven't played enough of SMT1 and 2 to rank them honestly. I got fairly far in SMT1 and put it down and now I can't figure out what the fuck. The game is so frustratingly difficult to navigate unless you're drawing up your own maps to supplement the godawful automap system. I didn't get all that far in SMT2 but it's got a fuckawesome setting and great music. Also SMT1 and 2 have some of the raddest hero designs (although you never see them in game):

And his Kazuma Kaneko redesign:



It's like he's straight out of an 80s sci fi. I love the idea of the hero using both a sword and a gun, something that's apparently unheard of outside of this series. Also look at that wrist computer. Fuck Omni-tools, this shit should be the sci fi standard.
