NIS America has confirmed that it is bringing three Atlus titles to European 3DS owners in 2015 and early 2016.
First up is Etrian Mystery Dungeon, which is arriving this Autumn. A mash-up of the Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon series, it offers "infinitely random dungeon adventures".
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker is an off-shoot from the main Shin Megami Tensei franchise, set in a modern-day world where cell phones can summon demons. That's also expected to hit Europe in the Autumn.
Finally, there's Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight, the next chapter in the popular Etrian Odyssey series. It's being sold as "two games for the price of one", as it not only contains an updated version of Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard - which originally launched on the Nintendo DS - but also offers a brand new "Untold" story. Unlike the other two titles mentioned here, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold is expected in early 2016.
NIS America has confirmed that all three of these games will be getting both a physical and digital release. Which one has you the most excited? Let us know by posting a comment.

Almost finished EOIV. I have so much want for these games.
Yes!!
Played the demo of eo4 and didn't get on with it. Then my better half got two copies of it for Xmas as 2 people got it for her so she gave me her bonus copy so thought I'd give it more of a chance. 70 hours of awesome fun later I'm a total convert! Recommend it to anyone who likes their RPGs to have an in depth levelling system with a real sense of character progression.
Despite all the hate NISA gets, here in Europe they are pretty much one of the saving graces of niche Japanese games market. One company that actually gives us retail releases instead of way too common digital-only treatment. I'll be buying Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Record Breaker Day One.
I'll definitely get Devil Survivor 2. I wish I could get into EO but don't find them enjoyable at all.
Woohoo
YES! Thank you NISA! >_<
I just hope DS 2 will be playable right away, without game breaking bugs that need to be fixed first.
I read this in the morning and it made my day, despite believing the release windows are more far away than they should be, considering there probably won't be any translation work to European languages for any of these.
In any case, I'm just glad all three are confirmed to be arriving AND in physical. Now that the thing about digital downloads giving us double the CN stars is over and done, there is virtually no reason why I'd not rather own a physical copy.
Congrats, Europe! Glad our friends across the Atlantic get these gems.
I'll pick up Devil Survivor 2 definitely. But haven't even played the first one yet! Still on SMTIV.

Does NISA get a lot of hate? It's definitely not deserved if true. And to anyone who hasn't experienced these games you are in for a treat.
@sweetiepiejonus
Yeah, fair amount of gamers don't like some of their business practices, like censoring content from games before submitting it to the rating process, or not patching their games even though bugs have been found (Witch & Hundred Knight and Danganronpa 2). I, too, am not okay with these things, but the good things they do for European audience greatly outweigh the bad.
And I was actually one of those who bought the European DS release of Devil Survivor 2, and I've been EO fan for many years now, so I know I'm in for a treat
Excellent! I'll have me physical copies of both Etrian games I think
@Tuulenpoika
Ah okay I can see where some would be frustrated with them. I've never experienced those types of issues.
I'm happy you guys don't have to wait as long for Record Breaker compared to how long it took the DS title to reach you
Great to hear, I'll definitely be getting Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, and probably Etrian Mystery Dungeon as well.
Good stuff! Will be getting both Etrian games.
