DC Live! Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster Livestream
Last night I made good on my promise to finish Final Fantasy VI. Why not celebrate Memorial Day and a day off from work by streaming the newly released Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster? This livestream will be a one-off, as I have no intention of streaming a game as long as Nocturne in its entirety.
We talk a lot about Megaten here on Damage Control. Fortunately, Geoff revisited Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne in 2013 for the ten year anniversary. Nocturne was originally released on the PlayStation 2 on February 20, 2003 in Japan and on October 4, 2004 in North America. While the series had a good following in Japan, Nocturne marked the first time a game from the mainline series would be released in the West. Spin-off titles such as Revelations: Persona, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Demikids, and Revelations: The Demon Slayers had made their way outside of Japan during prior years. For many gamers, Nocturne was the first game SMT game they played. As a result the third mainline SMT title gained a reputation for being one of the most difficult JRPGs on the PS2.
For a number of years this JRPG was notoriously difficult to obtain compared to the PS2 Persona games and a few other Atlus titles, as Geoff lamented in 2018. I had purchased the game via PlayStation 2 Classics on the PS3 and thought that would be how I played the game. When a remaster was announced the hardest decision I had to make was to buy it on PS4, Switch, or PC. (I went with the Switch version.)
Tonight will be the first time I’ve played Nocturne, but it won’t my first mainline Megaten game. That honor goes to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. Even with SMT some experience under my belt I don’t expect this game to be a cakewalk.
Join me at 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central on our Twitch Channel as I see how well or poorly I do in my one-off stream of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
As always, a recording of the stream will be archived on our YouTube channel and embedded below.

Awesome ,can we all agree umaro held it down when it was clutch for those big swipes. I feel asleep right before the final battle but watch it this morning.
Yes, we can all agree that Umaro is a certified badass. I didn’t take him into the final battle, but he carried my team there.
