Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne gets a reprint

Yes, one of the hardest to obtain RPGs for the PS2 recently got another reprint, so if you want it, you better get it now, because lord knows when you'll be able to again.

EDIT: Since I posted this, looks like Amazon has run out of stock.

See, I find this so funny.
Every time I see somebody mention a game that's hard to find, I can remember seeing at least two copies of that game somewhere in different stores.

Mind you, talking about Europe, but still.

Well, back before the Greatest Hits version of Xenogears, back when it was going on eBay for $100, $120... I got a copy for $40. How? SquareSoft was still selling it through thier webpage. Sure, it was back ordered, but it was a brand new copy.

I was a little sad when I saw that Nocturne was reprinted, because earlier today I bought a copy at Gamestop for $40, and thought I got one hell of a deal. I don't feel as special anymore.

The PAL version may be comparitively more numerous than it's NTSC sibling.

...Yeah, I was one of those idiots that spent a lot for it on eBay.

...Then last week I saw it in a Gamestop for $40.

...And now this.

...Can they reprint the first two Personas while they're at it? Those things are really expensive for PS1 games.

Thank you for telling me this.

I'll be on the look out, then.

Mike McC · 05-18-2008, 01:47 AM

Yeah, check local GameStops and the like. That's where I found my copy, and the guy said that at least one other area GameStop had a copy, too. I found mine in with the used games.

The "Used & New" sellers on Amazon are seeling at resonable prices.

And, you can probably get it fairly resonably on eBay right now.

That reminds me too...
I've took a quick glance at eBay to see what Final Fantasy VII goes for.
Now, I'm not sure if those are first print copies, but seriously. $120 Dollars?

I can get a hold of a copy for like €20. XD

I covered that already, in another thread. The release of Crisis Core drove up demand, and it's been out of print here for a good long while. The price will probably come back down to more reasonable levels before too long, though it'll still probably be around $60. Until a port/remake is released.

Which one is Nocturne? Is it the one where you are all blue and a half demon? Or is it the one that takes place in the Junkyard. (That might be Digital Devil Saga.)

It's the one where you're covered in blue black tattoos yeah.

Also, I'm pretty sure the PAL release is much easier to find. It's everywhere down here. Has a better title too.
