My contacts at Atlus USA have confirmed that they have completed the localisation of Shining Soul for the US market and the game is now being manufactured, having received approval from Nintendo of America. It should be hitting the shelves around mid-September, although an exact release date is yet to be confirmed.
My review copy will be on the way tomorrow, so keep an eye on SFC in about a week for a pre-release review of the game! If any of the folks at Atlus are reading, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and for being willing to hear me out 😉
