− | Atlus USA tried to localize Soul Hackers, but Sony refused it. However, it was announced that a 3DS remake is being made.

The project is still in progress, but in the profile of the project says that it's going to be easy. It's still at 20% to this day. |

− | ''Devil Hackers'', another romhacking group that made the fan translation of ''Persona 2: Innocent Sin'', is currently working on ''Soul Hackers'', with the main objective now is to insert the translation, yet Gemini is working on another project at the moment, so it's on hold. The actual translation is complete but hacking it into the game still requires a lot of time. The project is still on hold with it being at 40% completion, and they will continue it even with the 3DS remake coming out, due to the 3DS being region locked, therefore only being available to 3DS owners, while anyone with any type of Playstation build (including emulators) will be able to play the PS1 version. |

Nemechi does not gain experience by aiding the player in battle, but instead grows stronger through the Nintendo 3DS's [[Streetpass]] feature. Nemechi appears as a normal demon at first but will change as the player accumulates more Streetpasses. In the western release of the game the player can use Nintendo 3DS Play Coins to strengthen Nemechi instead of relying on StreetPass. |
