Shin Megami Tensei IV is coming to North America this July, as was revealed in last week’s Nintendo Direct. This is the first numbered Shin Megami Tensei game since Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, and that came out way back in 2004 (2003 in Japan). So, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me), will take a look at some older commercials from the Megami Tensei games, including its spin-offs, in this week’s Foreign Wrap-Up.
