I think these are the best NIS character designs ever.

Also, it's not a PS3 game but Sakura Wars 5 was announced for the Wii (it's also on PS2 but never came out in NA). The game's made by Overworks, so I hope you buy it outlaw :P

Sakura Wars 5?  Somebody tell Words of Wisdom.  Would that actually come out here?

I'm already on it. 

Here's the press release:  http://nisamerica.com/pressevent/2009/press/Sakura_release_20090507_support.pdf

And yeah, it's coming to the west.

To be honest, I'd have prefered a remake of the original or 3... but if this does well then more may follow.

Ah, I see. So this is an American announcement. Although, this is from Idea Factory, not Overworks.

It's all very odd though.

Sakura Taisen is still co-owned by Sega AFAIK.  The likeliest possibility seems like Idea Factory went to Sega and proposed some sort of payment to use SW5.   I know sRPGs are up NIS' alley but it's still very strange to not see this being published by Sega.

It's getting ported/localized by Idea Factory, Overworks originally made it.

I wonder if this does well then they'll make a new Sakura Wars for Wii. It'd be pretty easy money (Japan sure wants it...and in Japan they sell pretty well anyway) and that'd come out here by NIS (or Atlus) too...

PS3 would get VC, and Wii would Sakura Wars. Not so bad. I'd like an action RPG from them though :P

No it isn't. NISA is doing the porting and localizing. Idea Factory is a Japanese developer. They don't have an American team to do anything with US releases. That's why NIS does all of them.

I wish SONY would start working a little closer with NIS... like they did for Quantum Dream [Heavy Rain] and Media Molecule [LittleBigPlanet].

Look how great things turned out when SONY got friendly with SuckerPunch [inFamous, Sly], Naughty Dog [Uncharted, Jak] and Inzomniac [Ratchet, Resistance].

It's said that SCE is the biggest shareholder in NIS...

Wow... Last Rebellion looks better than White Knight Chronicles. Is this coming to America in the fall?

Are you kidding?

Or are you talking about the overall graphics rather than the literal looks.

Sweet.  I've always wanted to check out the series but was too intimidated to import it.

I'd guess... neither?

Maybe gameplay wise?  Even though... we know almost nothing about that?

Either way after a bunch of people claimed those fake MAG shots that were a PSP game looked better then a lot of PS360 games... I don't trust anyone elses idea of "superior graphics".

It's all relative.
