- An extended look at the 2006 Chinese mobile phone port/remake of Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the "Motorola Megami Tensei" streams, this was an incredible game to run through with you guys. Hopefully you like the review, it's a little different than usual, but this was too interesting to pass up
wtf there was a stream? i need to turn my twitter notifications on
@@PebblepantsTV check his about page it should have the Vod
@@PebblepantsTV yeah it was hell, the same jarring 2 second soundtracks became mind numbing.
i think i'll have nightmares with the jakyou theme now
Ayyyyyy
The most suprising this is not the fact this game even exists, it's the fact for some reason it has an english patch while the first Devil Summoner still doesn't
To be fair this is way smaller and simpler than devil summoner
It looks like they're making progress, our man marsh seems to have reignited interest
I might do it once I learn Japanese and learn how to program so I can re-program it correctly. I just need people to test it out once I get out an alpha version. I plan on being a computer engineer (it's a mix of electrical engineering and computer science or soft ware engineering).
@@jasonenns5076 You'll have to work real quick, because a certain Spanish-speaking team already hacked the PSP version and are ironing it out right now:

They are working on it!! Finally! In fact I heard about this games translation from the twitter that announced the DS project XD
they say every time Marsh uploads an Abbadon gets its wings
Ello Johne
Its tiny tiny wings ...

if law, killing Ahura Mazda in the form of Lord Asura
if chaos, killing the archangel Michael
if neutral, killing both
killing Lucifer isn't on the table until SMT2, but even then you should consider joining him because the chaos ending has you and big L letting the mutants see the sun again

"Honey please come to bed."
"Can't babe. Marsh posted."
"I recommend dying at least once."
-Marsh, 2021
Tithonus could certainly relate.
Jeb Jab's uncle agrees
This man has beaten Megami Tensei 1 more times than 99% of the Megaten community
Not a high bar
"Belobog is laughing maniacally."
> Belobog
> Laughing maniacally
*I feel disturbance in the force*
Ohhhh damn! I found a wild kenny !
Wikipedia says Persona 4: Golden was the first megaten game to be released with official Chinese localization.. then I guess that wiki page is wrong :P. Nice video!
""I actually did do [blank] and I don't recommend it" while still recommending the experience is such a Marsh thing.
You forgot to mention that characters can level up even when killed, which is handy considering you will be seeing a lot of "Yumiko Dead".
Yeah you're right that shit is funny
Well, that's the same as the original, since Nakajima and Yumiko share a single EXP counter. As long as one of them are alive it doesn't matter.
I actually ended up kinda missing this "feature" in MT2...
@@notbaldfrost Correct, they do share a single pool of EXP. In Kyuuyaku, this was changed unfortunately to where death means they will stop receiving EXP until they are revived.
Oshit... BABE GET THE CAMERA, MARSH'S HERE
It's a shame the full Japanese version isn't available to play. The graphics are pretty good.
We need to find the japonese version
Why Japanese are there not an English translation
@@han1961 This version (the Chinese port) has 60% of the game missing for?? Some reason??
The Japanese one has all the dungeons
@@Azazelea China has some pretty strict laws against themes of death, skulls, red blood and demons. And we’re talking about Megami Tensei so I would imagine they decided to just not include most of the game instead of cutting that stuff out. I noticed most of the enemies in this version are the ones that don’t necessarily relate to those topics.
@@notafbiagent473 ah that makes sense! I didn't know the content of the other dungeons but that makes sense. Thanks for responding even if it's been 5 months lmao
This game is so obscure that it doesn't need dark areas!
It's in the dark area of MegaTen history.
At this rate, Marsh will end up reviewing the demon summoning program itself
We just need to wait for Atlus to release it...
@@NEETKitten They probably did on some obscure platform that doesn’t exist anymore and they will never port it to anything in the future because they hate money.
I really want to that to happen.... For research purposes
If that exists somewhere, I'll port it myself just to get Marsh to review it
the madlad has actually done it..
now the Kyuuyaku version is the final hurdle he must face before he can be officially slated at the Megami Tensei master
I doubt he will ever bring hinself to play Kyuuyaku
@@zegendoflolda someday broski
@@zegendoflolda so, this comment didn't age well.
@@zegendoflolda oh but he has
@@noxturne16 I know dude I watch all his vids
Ah, gotta love all those long gone Japanese mobile phone games! There's a ton of them still left to track down even outside of Megaten, however it seems like we're never gonna find em'.
Midnight Marsh, the best way to end/begin any day.
Bro this channel is one of the few where I drop everything when I see the notifications lmao
Only having two songs would drive me insane.
Me: **turns off the repetitive music**
Minotaur: I thought you had balls
I wonder how many more times Marsh will have to say "We're in Mikon City on the 8th floor of Daedalus Tower, and our first task is to get to the bottom and kill the minotaur." in his career.
At least twice
@@MarshSMT Oh right, Kyuuyaku. Looking forward to that video, whenever it happens. Probably not for awhile, I imagine. (Ha, "IMAGINE"...)
Maybe three times, if the rom of the japanese version suddenly appears
Marsh is out here teaching me so many things I've never known about the megaten series.
You've easily become one of my favorite youtubers. You deserve so many more subs dude.
Notification brought me here. Was surprised that there is a mobile version of this game
People making translation patches for megami tensei java mobile games and atlus takes 6 months to release an already translated game to the west lmfao
If you look really really really closely at P5R you can see that it has a completely new translation
which is really stupid because they should’ve just translated the new content and reuse the vanilla translation
@@naoki-kashima2635 i mean yes, but Royal also reworked one of _the_ prominent character so they kinda needed _some_ redoing
@@naoki-kashima2635 the old translation was fucky though
But for Nocturne we are getting those sick ass bug fixes.
Well considering both Persona 5 Royal and Strikers got an EFIGS localisation, the most probable is that SMT III will get the same treatment so it'll take a while to be done
I'm waiting for the day Marsh finally gives in to what he truly wants and moves to Micon.
Just when I thought you couldn't get more obscure. Lmao.
At this point would you consider reviewing the Devil Summoner TV drama thing? It looks hilarious. I've only seen the jack frost episode though
I might check it out, maybe group it in with some other shows if there are any
Minotaur dungeon is like Marsh's ground hog day, just when you thought you finished the game, you wake up only to find your yourself in Tower of Daedulus top floor.
Forever trapped.
We're in Micon City on the 8th floor of Daedelus Tower
by far my favorite line out of all of these videos
@@MarshSMT Does the one about the bathroom in Shanghai count? That one was good.
@@MarshSMT can't wait to hear it in the kyuuyaku review
twice
update this is now my discord status
marsh: “mom can we have megami tensei?”
mom: “we have megami tensei at home”
megami tensei at home:
Technically this is Megami Tensei on the go
2:12 Holy shit, _THOSE_ are the two songs? I'm no longer entirely convinced that this Java port isn't a bootleg with fake copyright info on it.
Yeah, this is a 156K game (roughly 5/8 the size of the Famicom version), so sacrifices had to be made. But of all the songs to keep in the game, why _those two???_
It would have been so much better if they chose daedalus theme and the actual battle theme, the choice of kaifuku for the battles is so funny
Finally, the True Incarnation Of The MegaTen game
A neat piece of history, but I can't believe this is translated while so many games aren't.
To be fair there's like, what, six words to translate?
Fan translation
When I saw the title I thought DX2, then I remembered It's Marsh, so I'd knew this be good
I was about to go to sleep but, I think I can wait 13 minutes
Good video old chum
Ayyy it’s my favorite Megaten Channel :3.
Hope you’re doing well, love all your videos.
wow dude you are a fantastic smt resource. i had no clue this game existed at all! awesome video as always. it’s seriously tragic that the japanese mobile version is missing.
Just bought a Ps3 and bought DDS and Persona 3 FES and also a PsVita and all the persona games so I’m going on a binge to play a lot of megami tensei😏 I even have a 2ds and I plan to get all them ds Megami Tensei games.
DDS my precioussss!!
@@vsolyomi bruh dds is pretty damn good considering it’s my second REAL SMT GAME but SMT 4 was my first but I haven’t beat it yet
Random person: What's your favorite Megami Tensei game?
Marsh: Well, it's complicated...
Play the GBA port of SMT next!
It already has an English Patch if anyone is wondering.
PS1 port is better, pls don't do this
@@gwynbleidd8863 there were better versions of Digital Devil Saga: Megami Tensei as well than this mobile version and yet he played it just for the experience and exposure of all the obscure ports out there.
@@magistered fair enough
@@gwynbleidd8863 He'll probably play both at this rate
@@gwynbleidd8863 what's your problem with the gba? it has the faithful translation from atlus itself
Motarola megami tensei lets goooooo
Nice video and thank you for playing through the game! I can assure you no bug was introduced by the translation, and all the weird stuff (demon names, heavily reused sprites, etc.) are as they were in the Chinese version.
Minotaur insults your balls ?
The SMT series never ceases to surprise me
love that you used perfect blue in the intro !! one of my favs
“i hope you guys enjoyed seeing a somewhat obscure entry in the series. if i can find more of these, i’ll be sure to play them”
and so it begins.
I read the title and thought this was actually gonna be you playing the iOS port of SMT 1. Or as I like to call it, "The Only Time SMT 1 Was Officially In English". While I feel dumb for being wrong, this was still a great video, and I love to think that Nakajima is just clinging onto you asking you to make more DDS: Megami Tensei stuff lol
Japanese mobile phones of the 2000s are a beast compared to the rest of the world. And the rest of the world remain unaware of this great innovation for more than a decade.
Akemi: does something
Lucifer pinkman: *he can't keep getting away with it!!!*
lucifer: hello
marsh: HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN
I didn't even know this existed. That is fascinating to see this in action. This version of MT I is basically the easy version... If you're patient.
I know this is an old video but wanted to say thanks for exploring the lesser known titles in this series, and especially thanks for sharing it.
"T h o u g h t y o u h a d b a l l s"
This channel is now my number 1 outlet for obscure Megami Tensei stuff, thanks for another entertaining piece of history Marsh
Same
screenshotted the "thought you had balls," game over screen. Saving that one for when i win my fantasy football league 😅
Marsh all I can say is that you're a pretty cool dude for covering these megaten titles that 99% of us have never played
niiiice, thanks for doing this. fascinating stuff
This madlad... For real though, going through daedulus 3 times is another level, normal smt fans only do it twice.
Random thought: Shin megami tensei Alexa is what we all need. Skyrim did it. Just imagine not just having the normal eye gouging excitement shin megami games have but now it has the extra excitement factor of it miss hearing you mid boss fight and have you talk to him instead of using an Almighty attack. Think about navigating a maze with only words. It would be literally bliss and probably put me in the hospital if not 6 feet under.
why did this get a proper english patch before devil summoner 1 ):
Mutated Java scripting is probably easier to work with than Sega Saturn/PSX spaghetti code that's hard to look at.
See a Marsh Upload
Day gets better
Thanks for the videos, and especially for keeping the original OST running in the background. Those tracks will never get old.
I hope you give the Majin Tensei series a try! I think they both have fan translations now (the second one did for sure last I check because I played it, but I also caught wind the first did as well). I think they’re interesting, lesser known series in the west that are kind of a prelude for the Devil Survivor series later on. They’re certainly interesting games that I think deserve more recognition.
If there's anything I know, Devil Survivor can be considered a spiritual successor to Majin Tensei and not much more
Another solid vid as usual man, I can't wait for the Persona 1 on PC port video coming soon. Now THAT will be a wild ride considering it's only in Japanese /and/ it uses Kanji.
Ngl, I would love this on my Motorola. It feels the same as the dq games
I love that you took such a niche, difficult bunch of videos to do topics on. I love that you use your own personal format, and it’s super chill and personable.
*I love that it’s getting you success*
I've been waiting SO LONG for an informational series about SMT like this!
YOU GOT YOURSELF A SUBSCRIBER MY BOY!
that dungeon designs look really nice, same with the portraits, im impressed
great video as always!! :D
Man I used to love those tracks...
Seriously the best megaten channel good work Marsh
For those wondering where is Marsh
He said on twitter he's halfway through SMT nine playthrough, and after various problems with the emulator, he's finally back on his shoes
By the end of the month, I believe we'll have a new video
i like it when you talk about shin megami tensei
Thank you man, I needed this.
I love these smaller videos that keep us in entertained in between the longer ones
I really love these megami tensei videos keep it up man
Great vid, look forward to the next obscure-ish MegaTen experience you pull from the depths.
Your vids are amazing, please never stop uploading
Can't wait for the inevitable SMTV experience 👌
“Marsh used new video!”
“Critical hit!”
This gem right here needs waaaay more EXP points and upvotes/likes!
Marsh out of context:
“I recommend dying at least once”
I'm a southern Californian who was crazy enough to complete the original (Kyuuyaku version of) Megami Tensei a month ago. I must be a rare SMTer. I sooooo wanna try out this rare mobile Java based miniature version of the original monolith someday.
I absolutely adore this channel. He talks as if he's a human and not some pretentious SMT businessman lol
Thank you, Marsh. Seriously.
You absolute masochist
thanks for covering this, marsh!
Sick content my dude, can't wait for SMT
Great video marsh keep it up man
I knew there was a reason I was up late, wouldn’t want to miss smt phone game
I feel like Daedalus Tower should be sponsoring you at this point.
Love how you're playing the Valhalla Corridor theme for the Bien/2nd dungeon segment.
You madman!
I appreciate your videos a lot because they inspired me to stop being a baby and play these games.
I beat the Kyuuyaku version of the original and I'm working on Kyuuyaku MegaTen 2 now before playing SMT 1, 2 and if...
I was so inspired by you I beat the first in one weekend and I felt like I was losing my mind, but I am already level 15 in the sequel so I guess I liked it.
Anyway, thank you for making these strange old games feel approachable for someone who was interested and curious for a long time but scared off by their quirks and general mysterious aura.
Thanks for the video!
WOO BABY, Marsh upload, that's what I'm talking about WOOOOOO
Hell yeah, best boy Marsh coming through with that topical rom release video.
new marsh video pog
Great video!
Consistently great content! Commenting to get you some more * e n g a g e m e n t* appreciate you making the extra vid while the SMT video is taking a hot sec.
You should get a tattoo of the map of the 8th Floor of Daedelus Tower in Micon City to forever immortalize it as part of your flesh
These reviews absolutely kick ass man!
Your « [Blank] Experience » is so so cool. Keep doin that, man. Love it ❤️
Nothing like some "Midnight Marsh" to make me the night go by faster 😉 cool vid dude 👍
