Why Shin Megami Tensei V Is Being Made For Nintendo Switch

Following the reveal of Shin Megami Tensei V for Nintendo Switch, Atlus shared some additional tidbits in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089.]

Kazuyuki Yamai, who previously worked as the director of Shin Megami Tensei IV, will lead the development team for Shin Megami Tensei V. The concept behind Shin Megami Tensei V is to look back and reflect on the characteristics of the times.

Atlus decided on going with the Nintendo Switch so that fans can enjoy the game’s story in HD at home on their TVs, while playing portable or tabletop mode to put in the grind to level up and fuse demons at the comfort of your own bed.
