By now we've seen a lot of 25th anniversary celebrations for Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star...
Meanwhile, back at ATLUS' camp, may have had their own celebration, as the first MegaTen game came out on September 11th, 1987! Crazy, no? Megami Tensei or MegaTen as its more popularly called is older than Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star.
Heck, both Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star will not technically be 25 until December 18th and 20th, respectively.
On a side note, depending on what you define as an "RPG", the oldest Nintendo RPG would belong to either Legend of Zelda or Dragon Warrior (both games were released in 1986, though LoZ was out first that year).
So, anyway, if you're a fan of Megami Tensei, Digital Devil Saga/Story, Shin Megami Tensei, Devil Summoner, or Persona (and/or Maken X if you believe that it belongs in the MegaTen universe) and weren't aware of this...NOW YOU ARE!!
On another side-note, the only MegaTen game I ever played was SMTIII: Nocturne (again unless you'll count Maken X); I know, playing arguably the hardest of em all as the first one ever (I stopped after The Conception, so I didn't really play it play it).
