It's been relatively under the radar, but Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, arguably one of the most long winded names of any game to be released in North America in recent memory, is due for a release on the Nintendo 3DS rather soon. Initially pinned down for quarter one this year, the anticipated RPG has been pushed back a bit for a 5th May release. In an effort to build up hype, Atlus has released all of the details for what gamers lucky enough to receive first print copies will receive with their game.
In a recent press release, Atlus confirmed that the collectable edition will be coming with decals of several main characters as well as logos for Nicaea and JP's. This is in addition to the CD that will contain various tracks from the game. Considering that this is included with an enhanced remake of a DS game that effectively doubles the content of the original, this just may be worth picking up when it launches.
Naturally, we'll share our thoughts in a review when this game hits stores in May. Will you be tempted to pick up a first run physical copy? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Correction: the last trailer gave us a date, that being May 5 in North America.
So that's what the extra $20 is for, a CD with 6 songs and some stickers.
Europe please
I sooooo can't wait for this. I already have it preordered. Its a good year to be a 3DS owner.
Own a 3DS sorry.
@Morph : We (referring to both Europeans and Australians) would be lucky to get a physical option at all, let alone a limited edition.
Almost makes me want this game. $60 is still a lot to spend on a 3DS game, at least for me.
Already played through the original DS version, but all the extra content really makes it tempting to pick up! Not to mention some of those decals look pretty sweet on the back of the car.
If only they didn't have to impose the Atlus tax
Release date is 5.5.15 And game is $49.99

EU & UK ? Again we miss out on a nice limited edition like this. Thanks to no region free nintendo consoles ... sort it out nintendo .
Not sure about this. SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked looked so interesting, but I still haven't finished it. The fights are so boring that I can't get through them without falling asleep... The story seems nice, but that fights are everlasting and often has to be repeated in order to level enough to progress the story...
@SMEXIZELDAMAN @XXIV Thanks for the notice! The article's been updated accordingly.
I'll just wait for an Atlus sale on the eShop later next year. I am in no rush to get this. It'll be $20 like SMT IV was. I am doing that for Persona Q too.
at this point we in Europe are asking for a physical release full stop. Any sort of first run/limited edition product is frankly completely out of the realms of possibility!!
@CaviarMeths
Just $10, actually, is $49.99 instead of $39.99
Want this version!
@Tops
Well, Canadian Dollar is weaker than the American dollar, they are different currencies, do you think £32 (regular price for a 3DS game in the UK) is cheaper just because 32 < 39? Nope, because that's $48 American Dollars and actually $50 American Dollars (Price for this SMT Special Edition) are $63 Canadian Dollars so technically the games are cheaper in Canada because this game costs CAD$60, not CAD$63. Canadians complains too much about prices (they should ask help from the US to have American currency as their offcial currency if they want games for the Price of $39) and I dont' see British gamers complain here in NL and it's more expensive there. Heck, I'm from a Third World Country and games are way more expensive here and my salary in my job is like four times less the minimum wage in Canada. First World Problems they have, I guess...
This is beautiful. Thank god Atlus still knows how to do limited editions, unlike company's such as Ubisoft and EA. I'll defini be picking this up day one.
I'd like Persona 4 on the 3DS or Wii U because I haven't played it yet.
I was going to buy it regardless but I do appreciate the effort.
@Quinn_Blackwood $60 in Canada.
Edit: Oh, saw your other comment. Nintendo of Canada publishes these games domestically, so there should be no currency conversion. 3DS games are normally $40-45. Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Persona Q are $50, so I had marked that up as the "Atlus tax." This game is $60, the price of a Wii U game. It is overpriced, even for Canadian 3DS games, even for Atlus games.
And the games are published domestically in the UK too, so British consumers aren't paying for a currency conversion either. £32 and $40 are almost exactly the same in terms of average wage vs price of game.
Another Atlus game EU might never see. Sigh..
I was lucky enough to pick up SMT IV on the day it came out without a preorder, and I don't think this one is well known enough to need one either.... may as well do so, though.
@Sikboy1029 The Persona series (with the exception of Persona Q) is pretty firmly in the Sony camp. Not much hope for Nintendo releases. The last time SMT released on a Nintendo home console was on the SNES.
@Quinn_Blackwood I'm a proponent of "One world, one price" myself... Although I think it makes sense to lower the prices in economically less well off areas. That would probably be the only reason I can think of to validate region locking. (Although that price reduction where appropriate isn't done, which is unfortunate.)
@Sikboy1029 We don't need another Persona 4 port. I'd rather have Persona 5 if a Nintendo console was to somehow get an actual Persona game, which it most likely won't.
I think it is wishful thinking of me. But I really hope they'll release news of an EU release and of course an Australian release for my mates down under...
