Next week, Android users will be able to get their hands on a free Disgaea title. The game is not a port of any existing Disgaea game; instead, it's based off of...
This is an update to the NIS Fiscal Report article posted a couple of days ago.
Unsurprisingly, NIS' stock has taken a hit, but it was apparently so bad that JASDAQ (Japanese NASDAQ) had to put a freeze on the price...
Hit 'the jump' to see how much it dropped before the stock price was frozen.
The first 9 months fiscal report from Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) has been posted in English, on Kotaku. Nippon Ichi Software for those not in the know, is a company known for releasing strategy RPGs, such as the cult hit Disgaea series, as well as other cult titles.
The first 9 months fiscal report from Nippon Ichi Software has been posted, and it really doesn't look good doods.
'Hit the jump', as they say, for the info. For the fans of the company, I suggest you do what they say befo...
GameDaily gives its own take at which RPG style is superior in the categories of the classic RPG, the MMORPG, the tactical RPG, the action RPG, most emotionally engaging (contains FFVII and Mass Effect spoilers), and the overall winner.
Though you might not agree with everything stated, it is an interesting read on a topic that continues to spur the interest of RPG fans.
"Harusato Akenaga on NISA possibly localizing Ar tonelico III if given the opportunity:
"Yes. Basically, I like that game, and many of our fans like that game, but we had some problems [with the] Ar tonelico II localization. We are really sorry for that. But still, we want to get the license for Ar tonelico III. And, we'll be really careful not to make that problem with the next title.""
"1. I have starred in six games but for some reason I was only the main character in three. I'm the original main character and I want more airtime, dammit!!
2. Some people believe that optimism and women with sexy bodies are my weaknesses. But that isn't entirely true. I just don't want to be suffocated by all the attention the women would give me.
3. While I do hate all that “love” crap Flonne's always trying to get me into, I do share her love of ramen and pocky.
4. Etna hasn't bee..."
"A couple times over the past few years, we've decided to sit down and take a good, cold, hard look at the PlayStation 2's library and select the best of the best to let you know what our favorites were (and are). Even though the system is fighting with every last breath to stay alive, it's still surprising to us that new games continue to creep into our list. So, because it's been a while, we figured it was time to look at our picks again and update our choices for the best 25 PlayStation 2 g..."
""We're releasing Sakura Wars V first because we figured it's the last version that came out and it's obviously the most polished, at least battle system-wise. And it's something that's easier for Sony [to] accept and release a game like [Sakura Wars V], because previously Sony didn't like games that had dating sim aspects. They thought it might not be a suitable game for the PlayStation brand but they're actually happy about Sakura Wars now ever since they saw the actual game. So, if this one..."
"SquareEnix have today announces that Nippon Ichi Software's Disgaea DS will be released by SquareEnix across PAL territories in Spring 2009, exclusively on the NintendoDS system.
Simple yet highly addictive, Disgaea DS is an updated portable version of the classic Strategy Role-Playing Game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, previously available on the PlayStation2. Since its release Disgaea has won over a loyal following of fans that have grown to love the quirky humour and deep, long-lasting..."
Are you ready for an action platformer starring your favorite penguin from Disgaea? That's right: the Prinnies get their own game: Prinny, for the PlayStation Portable. It is a 2D side-scroller, where the Prinny you control has to keep trucking along through hazardous obstacles to reach the end. Fan-favorite Etna also makes an appearance. You can also record your play and download extra maps and bonuses through the PSP's wireless capabilities.
Prinny is set to release in Japan on Novem...
Nippon Ichi is known for their ridiculously deep strategy-RPG games, one of which is the Disgaea series. Having been hugely successful with the original Disgaea and then Disgaea 2: Hour of Darkness, Nippon Ichi is now making Disgaea 3 exclusively for PS3. The question is, will it be enough for the Disgaea series die-hard fans to go out of their ways and buy a PS3 console just for the game?
Nippon Ichi Software America said that they will be releasing Disgaea on the DS some time ago. Now they are taking a poll asking owners of both Disgaea games if they own a PSP and/or a DS. Which one(s) do you own?
RPGamer interviews NIS America's Nao Zook over their current and future game localization projects. Interestingly, Nao did not discount the possibility of seeing NIS' flagship Disgaea series for the DS, in fact he is encouraging DS owners to expect something special in the works. Meanwhile for PS2 fans, there's some implication that the sequel to Ar tonelico, still in development for Japan, could very well see North American release in the future.
