NISA Press Conference!

[nalina.livejournal.com]

Hey guys! Me and Taiga were F-5ing this twitter for live news from the NISA Press Conference going on RIGHT as I type, and realized we ought to post this up to Cyberdance. XD SO. Yes.

Announcements:

Cladun (known as Classic Dungeon) - September 7th 2010 as a PSN only release
Zettai Hero Project - This fall for PSP (and they hope it'll be as popular as Disgaea)
Souhei Niikawa, President of Nippon Ichi Software Japan says they're adopting a policy to limit the number of games they'll release each year.
In Japan a new Disgaea game this year for PS3... I guess which would be Disgaea 4, with new features!
Ar tonelico Qoga (3) - Spring 2011

And... that was it. No surprises here, except for what wasn't announced really, lol

Here was RPGfan's live coverage too.

Edit:

And here's some trailers! http://www.siliconera.com/2010/07/16/nis-america-psp-rpgs-these-are-trailers/

*bummed out about no LP:R and Antiphona lack of games*

[nalina.livejournal.com]

And no Prinny 2. Wassup with that, NISA? :(

[taiga_ameca]

Prinny 2 was a later release than the rest though, maybe they'll announce it later in the year/next year.

... because that's a game I can't understand why they wouldn't localize.

[nalina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't see them NOT releasing it. lol

Maybe this is their "limited number of releases" in action.

[taiga_ameca]

Yeah, that one has to come out.


... sigh, time to either learn Japanese, or wait until someone does like the two Marl sequels and translates LP:R and Antiphona...

[nalina.livejournal.com]

Indeed. ;-;

[taiga_ameca]

And the D2 missing DLC while we're at it. lol

Overall disappointing show. I mean, most of us already knew these were coming...

I'm still happy Zettai is coming though.

[nalina.livejournal.com]

Or more to the point the soundless DLC. Plenair and Sapphire make weird wrong sounds when they climb something and that is it. :x

[pirho-maniac.livejournal.com]

I laugh whenever I hear the rocket-launching sound. xD

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know how well the first Prinny did, but you'd think Prinny 2 would be just as much a priority as Zettai Hero.

[taiga_ameca]

'tis not over yet.

Prinny 2 still has a big chance.

Oh yay! Thanks so much for this update, guys! :D

[nalina.livejournal.com]

No prob, Angie :D ♥ For what it was worth, lol

Here's hoping Disgaea 4(?) actually looks like a PS3 game.

[shinhawk.livejournal.com]

I hope all those anime characters make it in Zettai Hero!

[shinhawk.livejournal.com]

Also, what the heck is Qoga? Is that an acronym?

[taiga_ameca]

It means "end" or "demise" in hymmnos.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Zettai Hero Project definitely shows a lot of promise. I hope the NISA store's limited package include Figma along with it.

[shinhawk.livejournal.com]

There wasn't a figure with the Japanese limited edition though. It looked like the game came with a figure, but nope. :/

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh well, I do hope that figma they showed off does become available in the NISA store.

[shinhawk.livejournal.com]

Did you see the actual figure? I originally thought this picture was a rough draft of a figure, but it just ended up being box art.

Unless this is the rough draft you're talking about (Can't access that link for some reason).

[shinhawk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's not a figure, its the box art. Total bait and switch. haha

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Wow, it really looked like it was it...

[taiga_ameca]

Siliconera has three four articles on the subject

1 - Cladun: This is an RPG. ... strange, strange title.

2 - Z.H.P.: Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman They say here that it's coming in winter though.

3 - Message from the producer

4 - Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel While I'm happy they put hymmnos in the title... why did they drop the 3?


... okay, I must admit, Darkdeath Evilman is an awesome name!

"Nip On Ichi Software presents..."

Man, that cracked me up.
