Ah someone on Blistered Thumbs was at the NISA press event and was able to interview the guys there!

The interview was short and kinda got cutoff... but in the final video posted it sounded like he was able to get more information talking to them.

The gist from what I heard was this:

Black Rock Shooter information! It's actually completely finished and ready for release, just it got held up by legal stuff between the two companies that made it. So NISA is doing their best to get that sorted out. Given PSP sales are non-existent now, it'll be a digital PSN release for PSP. They'd like to see it go to Vita, but that's entirely up to Sony. It's outta their hands for that. Whenever it is sorted, they'll be dropping it pretty quick. Like HEY GUYS THIS IS BEING RELEASED NEXT WEEK, SUPRAIZ. So it could be any time. They say it definitely will be out before E3.

The Witch and the Hundred Knights, as we heard, YES, it is still being worked on and is even in a playable state now. It's being play tested. As this was their first true 3D game, they ran into a lotta technical problems that massively held things up. Apparently they ended up going even to some of their partners to get some help. It's coming along, and NISA might even try to translate some of it as things go along to get it here a little sooner, but chances of us seeing it this year still seem slim. But early 2014 seems likely. But we'll see.

DD2... not much we didn't know, but yeah they are trying to streamline the game a bit, as fans of the first Disgaea game... it's been 10 years, and people have grown up and don't have the time to put hundreds of hours into a Disgaea game like they once might've. So they're trying to make this one more for people like that. That's cool. :D

And last interesting thing that caught my ear is for the next generation consoles, they'd really like to get more into multi-platform. So making games for PS4, Xbox AND even said Steam! =O! Disgaea on PC? I could get behind that. lol

Uh... stuff was said about the other two games too, but I didn't pay enough attention to write things down about that. Derp. >.> So uh. Check the link above. :Db

(...Also I am still intending to do that DW comm... Just haven't been still feeling great past few weeks and finding a suitable layout is proving to be a lot trickier than I expected. I'll let you guys know when it is all fixed up. DX )
