First mentioned in times long past (2013), Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is at last a real thing. Nintendo and Atlus recently showed off the planned crossover, which now bears the title of Genei Ibunroku #FE, or Illusory Revelations Sharp FE.
The setting tilts more towards the Shin Megami Tensei side of things, taking place in a modern Japan that exists alongside a hidden fantasy universe, from which the Fire Emblem characters emerge. How exactly this mixture works has not yet been detailed, though a trailer has been released on yonder YouTube, and the official site (in Japanese) is available hereabouts.
The title is planned for a winter release in Japan; a global release has yet to be announced.

StreetPass will allow players to pass skills and stat bonuses to each others’ demons, with both the demon and the passed bonuses chosen at random.

Citing “challenges faced in the current retail sector”, Devil Survivor 2‘s UK publisher Ghostlight has reached out to players with an unusual request. To ensure the title gets manufactured, the publisher is asking for 1800 or more preorders, available through the company’s online store. If this goal is reached, the title will be out in September, though all preorders will be refunded if it fails.
