NIS President Talks Future
Disgaea makers aim to increase number of PS3-based projects.
12.22.09 - 12:38 PM

Souhei Niikawa, president of Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) announced that his company would increase the number of games it develops for PlayStation 3. Niikawa's comment echoes a similar statement made by Haru Akenaga, the head of NIS' American subsidiary NISA in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz three months ago.

So far, Gifu prefecture-based NIS has released one PlayStation 3 title, Disgaea 3, and is working on one more confirmed project, Last Rebellion, for Sony Computer Entertainment's platform. The fate of Makai Wars, the first PS3 title announced by NIS, is still unknown.

Niikawa also revealed that his company has joined forces with a still unknown person for a certain project. The NIS president said, he was sure the identity of the mysterious cooperation partner would surprise people.

More jRPGs for PS3 it seems.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

More JRPG's for the PS3?

Thanks Souhei!



Would surprise people? Hmm...



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

More likely it is more SRPGs rather than more JRPGs. I am slightly annoyed that they are loyal to the one console I don't have, but it just adds up to give me an excuse to buy it later on. At least this way I can try some other nifty titles when I break down for NIS like I did last gen.

No, that wouldn't really add up. First off Demon's Souls is nothing like the games NIS make. Secondly, they are plenty amazingly successful on their own. They have a huge cult following which is about the best you can hope for with SRPGs. Lastly it is well known they have strong ties to Sony meaning a partnership with them would not be surprising. I'd expect someone more like Mistwalker or someone random like that.

Cool... though i'd trade every NIS RPG this generation for a proper Banpresto super robot wars on PS3.
