RPGamer Article detailing NISAmerica's Future for Disgaea

---

A recent Gamasutra interview with Phoenix Spaulding, a scenario writer for NIS America, revealed a little more information on the future of the Disgaea series. The most interesting parts of the interview revolved around the future of Disgaea 3 on the PlayStation 3, and the possibility of the Disgaea series branching out to other platforms.

When asked about Disgaea 3 and the game possibly not meeting Sony's approval, Spaulding responded that he's not really sure what Sony's demands are as they are never really defined or "set in stone" as he put it. Spaulding also responded with this statement: "As it stands right now, in Japan, it's ready to go. We won't really know about America until we start working on it, and start talking to Sony America [to] find out what they think of it."

In regards to Disgaea for other platforms, Spaulding mentioned that "...NIS Japan made a very brief mention about Disgaea on the DS. As far as I know, that's still planned, and I know they're at least looking at the others, like Wii, and maybe some other DS titles." This interview further confirms what we reported back in June, when we had an interview with NIS America's Nao Zook where she confirmed that NIS is in fact working on a Disgaea title for the Nintendo DS.

PS3 JPN Version is secure, they're just unsure of the PS3 USA Release. Once NISAmerica gets talking with them is when we can actually start worrying or whatnot.

Also, needs seiyuu info for Dis3 already.

I'm not sure about keeping Japanese voices in, but Luminous Arc (also for DS) is almost very close to being fully voiced (complete with an anime opening--!), so it's not toally impossible--

Watch, SCEA nixes the English release, I JUST BETCHA THEY DO THAT! DDD:

Nice to know they still haven't forgotten about getting DS titles out. *_*

Aha, maybe if they did that would have to force N1 to port it elsewhere. I don't know, I would honestly prefer they also manufacture for the Wii, but they only have a license with XBOX360 and, well, the game would bomb on there.

Who knows. D:

Aha, yes, no XBox360 plz D: I'd hate to see what that happening.

It would just bomb more there. Honestly, the PS3 isn't a bad decision, many people just don't have one yet because none of the big releases are anywhere near done. I kind of think Sony should of just held off on releasing it until then. Console wars are so dumb...

Yet they make game world go round. Weird, huh?

I can't see SCEA refusing Dis3; it's a known brand and it's not like the PS3 has such a huge library they can afford to pick and choose.
