Atlus announces Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey GameStop preorder incentive

Atlus has just announced that there will be an exclusive Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey preorder offer available if you decide to get the game through GameStop. In addition to getting a launch copy that will have special packaging and a SMT: Strange Journey CD soundtrack, you will also get a mini-poster. I know, the already included soundtrack is the best part of the deal, but still. The DS game is priced at $34.99 everywhere, so may as well get it from GameStop and get a poster too when it comes out March 23, 2010.

SMT: Strange Journey blends staples from the beloved Shin Megami Tensei series with elements from Atlus’ cult classic Etrian Odyssey series. Like in all Shin Megami Tensei games, SMT: Strange Journey features a supernatural story set in modern times, with the ability to recruit, fuse and fight battles against an assortment of demons. It also has multiple endings. The Etrian Odyssey elements include a first-person dungeon crawling experience and the ability to map out the dungeon you’re exploring. Especially intriguing is the password system. You’ll be able to trade demons with friends by swapping passwords and entering it into your own game.

The website for SMT: Strange Journey is also now completely up and filled with all kinds of useful information about the story, characters and way the game works. You can even download some wallpapers for your computer or head to the forum to talk about the game.

So, does the mini-poster make you want SMT: Strange Journey any more than you did before? Personally, I’ve wanted the game ever Atlus released it in Japan, and the soundtrack and poster are just a nice little bonus.
