Commentary

An execution device that has become an evil spirit. Victims would be tied to a stake and a rope or iron collar was placed around their neck. The rope or collar was then tightened with a wheel. The tension of the rope would constrict the victims' necks to the point of asphyxiation. Using the iron collar, it would also break their neck.

How to Play SMT IV Now?

Unfortunately, preparing the play environment can be challenging.

This software was released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2013 and there have been no ports or remakes since. To make matters worse, in September 2020, the hardware was discontinued, and in March 2023, the official store stopped selling the download version.

The DS and 3DS are quite tricky platforms, especially since games are designed with a dual-screen layout.

Is it impossible to port to newer hardware after this?

You guys probably don't want to bother with the kind of maintenance required for a port, right?

Even as of 2023, it should still be possible to play it by purchasing used hardware and software. The 3DS is the exclusive platform for various Atlus titles like the Shin Megami Tensei IV series, Soul Hackers, Strange Journey, and Devil Survivor series, making it a worthwhile device for Atlus fans.

With the store discontinuation, I believe you can no longer buy DLC, but it doesn't affect the core game, so you can still have plenty of fun with used software alone.
