Shin Megami Tensei series - Usually based on post-apocalyptic events happening in Tokyo and consisting of a young hero, heroine, and their likely side kicks. There's also the idea of recruiting demons into your party that other Megaten games are not capable of. Each game is never based on the same characters(with the exception of Lucifer) when it usually comes to "series" made games. There are three games in the series so far but also included SMT side stories such as "Shin Megami Tensei if..." and "Shin Megami Tensei NINE". Whether or not there will be a fourth in the series has not been said.

So far, Shin Megami Tensei I, II, if..., and NINE had not made a US releases. The original Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne game was never released in the US as well. Instead, when Japan released the director's cut "Nocturne Maniacs" featuring the famous, Dante from the "Devil May Cry" series, Atlus USA had licensed the game. Though it's basically none as the first SMT released in the US unlike in Japan, it's the third in the series.

Shin Megami Tensei Online IMAGINE is a MMORPG that has yet to released. So far, numerous characters you can be and demons you can recruit are shown on the main website(check "others" section). Another interesting thing to make note of is that a few of the DDS: AT characters might make an appearance.

There's one question always being asked, what does "Shin Megami Tensei" mean? Well, it means "True Goddess Reincarnation".

(Shin Megami Tensei I, II, and if... are all available on the Playstation game console.)
(Shin Megami Tensei NINE is available on the XBOX game console.)
(Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne & Nocturne Maniacs are all available on the Playstation 2 game console.)

Devil Summoner series - Two games in the series so far with a third one coming out soon later this year! Again, these were games that have never made a US release(Soul Hackers was close) but I'm sure US gamers are hoping for the third one to reach N.American shores. The first game consist of a man who dies and inhabits the body of another man named Kuzunoha Kyouji and you are now to take the duty of withholding the demon threat that infest the streets of Japan. The second game differs from the first but has a couple of returning characters from the first game, it's titled "Soul Hackers". The third is set back before the two Devil Summoner games though. So maybe you'll get to see how all this got started?

For those who don't own a Sega Saturn and would like to place the first Devil Summoner game, no worries! It's going to be released for the PSP soon in Japan and hopefully in N.America!

(Devil Summoner is available for the Sega Saturn game console/PSP game console.)
(Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is available on the Sega Saturn and Playstation game console.)
(Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou will be available on the Playstation 2 game console.)

Persona series - A game hopefully everyone knows of. It consists of three games but the stories different from each other than rather continuing where they left off. The first Persona revolved around a bunch of high school friends playing a game called "Persona". Little did they know they'd run into trouble while playing the game.

As for the second, it consisted of two parts: Innocent Sin(which was never released to N.American shores) and Eternal Punishment. Both of these games usually consist of the same characters where some are playable in one game while they aren't in the next one. The first game consist of a young boy(Tatsuya) and his friends(Maya, Yuki, Eikichi, Lisa, & Jun) trying to unlock the mysterious of the Joker, Masquerade, and rumors that fly around. The sequel's story is somewhat similar to the first but looks more into the main heroine(Maya) and her friends(Ulala, Katsuya, Baofu, and Tatsuya). Not only do they investigate the fishy rumors flying around involving the Joker but memories that were suppose to be kept erased are once again awoken.

(Megami Ibunroku Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, & Persona 2: Eternal Punishment are all available on the Playstation game console.)

Digital Devil Saga series - The newest spin-off to date. The series consist of two games. Originally, this was only planned to be one game but due to the information overload, it was made into two. Either way, I'd say it's for the best as both games explore different atmospheres. The first game is sort of like a prequel as the second game completes the whole story. The game introduces a young leader named Serph as he and his comrades fight their way out of Junkyard into the promise land called Nirvana. Along the way, friends and enemies are made, emotions are discovered, and much more. Will Serph and the others ever make it there? It‘s up to you to play the game and find out.

(Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 1 & 2 are available on the Playstation 2 game console.)

Now not all is listed here as there's many, if you'd like to look into it, you can check Kuzunoha's Megaten Wiki or the COMP terminal.
