Majin Tensei



Mashin Tensei (魔神転生; literally Demon God Reincarnation), historically better known to the west as Majin Tensei, is the first game in the Majin Tensei series and was released for the Super Famicom. English speaking fans took to referring to this game by Majin Tensei. Mashin or Majin are both correct pronunciations; however, the use of Mashin tends to be preferred in Japan. Majin Tensei and its successors put a turn-based strategy twist on the usual Megami Tensei gameplay formula.

There is a translation project by Aeon Genesis that can be found here.

Trivia
Majin is the more natural pronunciation for Japanese and English speakers alike. However because Mashin is an honorific there is an obligation to enunciate the word fully. If not for this special case it is normally incorrect to not recognize the more easily pronounced form.
