Everyone's favorite shoot-yourself-in-the-head-to-summon-Satan RPG is getting a prequel in Japan... but not in a format that's been historically conducive to crossing the Pacific.

Via Siliconera it was revealed today that Atlus is prepping a prequel to Persona 3 for cell phones. Called Aigis: The First Mission, Persona 3 players will undoubtedly be already clued in on the game's subject matter just by gazing at the few screenshots released.

The game will cost about $4.50, but the chances of it seeing release in any market other than Japan are slim-to-none. Blame Western cellphone technology lagging behind Japan's and the fact that we should be begging Atlus to release Fes over here instead.
