From what I can tell, the first American release for the Megami Tensei series was Persona 1, although SMT 3 and 4 were released in the states. It was the Persona series (specifically Persona 3) that pushed the series as a whole into (somewhat?) mainstream popularity.

Tell you how much the original SMT series has been over shadowed by Persona, I had no idea that SMT 3 (AKA Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne) was released over here.

Also, Revelations: Persona came out in 96 while Jack Bros came out in 95, but that game was only for the Virtual Boy and nobody had ever heard of it.
