Fan translation group Aeon Genesis released an English fan translation patch for Shin Megami Tensei if… today. The translation patch is made to work with the Super Famicom version of the game.

Shin Megami Tensei if… was one of the major influences that led to the creation of the Persona series, with its well-received modern high school setting. The protagonist explores the demon-infested Karukozaka High School and five other towers based on the Seven Deadly Sins in classic SMT fashion, recruiting demons and fighting off enemies along the way. There are also multiple routes that diverge based on who you ally yourself with, which will determine what ending you get.

You can find a link to the fan translation here.

Shin Megami Tensei if… was released for Super Famicom, and has been ported PlayStation and PC since.

Shin Megami Tensei If… was a step towards the popular Persona series. Atlus made this Super Famicom game as a what if storyline imagining the events in Shin Megami Tensei never happened. You play as a high school student that enters the demon realm when you find out a fellow student declares himself to be the Demon lord.You get to travel with a human friend in Shin Megami Tensei If… which changes the storyline.

Atlus ported Shin Megami Tensei If… to PsOne and now you can get the role playing game for iOS too. Unfortunately, it's only in Japanese and has a clunky virtual handlheld interface layered over the game.

You can get the only portable version of Shin Megami Tensei If… for 1,200 yen ($13) on iTunes.

The latest Shin Megami Tensei to the PSP and PlayStation 3 compatible Game Archives collection is Shin Megami Tensei If….

Shin Megami Tensei If… shares some similarities with the popular Persona series since its set in a high school that’s transported to the demon world. After picking a male or female lead, you track down Hazama, the self-proclaimed demon king who was once a student at Karukozaka High. The “if…” bit in the title is there because Shin Megami Tensei If… takes place in the same timeline as Shin Megami Tensei. Well, that’s if Tokyo wasn’t overrun by demons.

Atlus upgraded the Super Famicom graphics for the PsOne port, which is the game you can get from PlayStation Network for 1,000 yen ($13). Digital Atlus re-releases carry a price in Japan.
