Map Editing adjustments:
-Instead of individual blocks to create maps, a number of preset “landforms” will be available for users to create their own maps.
-Multiples of the same object, not including geo blocks or characters, cannot be placed next to or on top of each other.
-Character/map names and descriptions will be randomized.

They say this is do to regulations and laws or something. I am confused. Why would a create a map with blocks be an issue with laws, as well as the same object/character being next to each other? The names I can maybe see, with copyrights, but LBP gets away with that...

Well, only if you signed up for the pre order reminder. Everyone else has to wait till Friday.

I preordered me Super Premium, and it seems there is no S+H charge for any of their USPS mailing types, so I choice express.

They say the Super Premium is extreemly limited, so better preorder now!

In other news!
September 23rd is the official release date for Disgaea DS and Rhapsody DS in North America! They will both be priced at 29.99 + Tax. I'm going to pick up Rhapsody again, though I'm a little sad that there's only Japanese songs in the game I can always go back and listen to the US ones on Youtube. :<

Finally, do you draw fan art for Nippon Ichi and related games? If so:



Zombie Jamboree is our very own NIS-inspired Oekaki board. If you're interested, go ahead and doodle and join up! We'd love to see new artists and just have a hub for our small fandom to participate in. ♥

Tidbits :

- A New Disgaea 3 novel was released this week in Japan. 306 pages, seems to be a novelization of the game from Almaz's point of view.

- The Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice guidebook is up for reservation at DoubleJump Books. Reserve a copy if you haven't already. ♥

- AnimeExpo was a blast this year. I got to see [livejournal.com profile] shinhawk and lots of fans as well as Mr. Harada. Delicious signatures. *A* You can see pictures I took of the event here, and Mr. Harada's pictures here.

- I've also been working on the Heart Bank Blog for those of you curious of Disgaea 3 updates and the so forth.

- Disgaea DS and Rhapsody DS are scheduled to be released sometime in September. They're still not pre-orderable.

I'm thinking of updating the link list of [livejournal.com profile] cyberdance. If there's anything you guys want to link, please tell me. In fact, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't be afraid to ask here. Thanks, guys.

Heads Up.

The Disgaea 3 Wiki is full of ingame story spoilers.
If you're trying to keep yourself unspoiled, I would steer clear. The article needs to be cleaned up and properly marked, which it isn't right now.

In other news, the Press Release for NISA was this week. It was a great blast. Rhapsody DS, Disgaea DS, A Witch's Tale, and Disgaea 3 : Absence of Justice were the highlights at the event.

There were also many, many prinny kurtis everywhere.

It was a lot of fun. ♥

Disgaea 3: Absensce of Justice's release date is August 28th, 2008.

It was just less than a month ago that RPGamer was invited into the NIS America offices to try out the upcoming tactical RPG, Disgaea 3 for the PlayStation 3. At that time, we tossed out a few questions to see if they would bite like they did last year with Disgaea DS. They said that they would think over our thought provoking interrogation and get back to us. Though slightly delayed, this interview with Jack Niida, Localization Director of NIS America, is better late than never as we've uncovered a few nice little bits of information for you.
Let's start off easy. Is there going to be an English subtitle for Disgaea DS?
Jack Niida: Unlike its other counterparts, Disgaea DS will not have a subtitle. We sort of wanted to distinguish it from the other 2 games.

There has been lots of talk about how the PlayStation 3 is overpowered for Disgaea 3. How is the PS3 better able to handle Disgaea 3 than the PS2? Since the PS3 can manage downloadable content better than the PS2, any plans to take advantage of that?
JN: Graphically we haven't made major changes, but game content wise there's a huge difference. The amount of units, size of battle maps, the things you can do on the field--all has greatly expanded. The development team tried to cram as much game content into Disgaea 3 as possible, so players won't be bored after playing 30-40 hours. With all the additional features you could play for a good 200 hours. A good example is the Geo Blocks and a new Item World. Geo Blocks are essentially 3D Geo panels that add a whole new strategic element to the battle and coupled that with even more Item World variations, you got a massive game.

In regards to downloadable content, yes, Disgaea 3 will have downloadable maps, characters, and even story chapters. This new content will be available through the PlayStation Network and it will be updated at least once a month. Please look forward to what's going to be available.

As a result of so many previous NISA RPGs being released for the PS2 and PSP, does NISA as a company feel any sort of loyalty to the Sony brand?
JN: Both NISA and NIS grew to be what we are today thanks to Sony. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with them, and we will continue to maintain our great relationship. That being said, we will release more games on various platforms for our fans who may not have some of Sony's game consoles.

The PlayStation 2 is still alive and kicking. Since it is still alive, is there a chance of Ar tonelico II or Mana Khemia II making it to our shores?
JN: Those are two exciting games that we would love to work on, but we're not quite ready yet to make any announcements. Don't worry. We're not saying that these games aren't coming to the States. When the game is ready to be revealed, we will make sure to notify everyone.

There are a few series that have never really found a solid home here in North America. Once of those series is Super Robot Wars. We know that Atlus has worked with prior games in the series, but is there a chance you could cut in on their action?
JN: In regards to Super Robot Wars, Atlus has been doing a fantastic job on localizing those titles. Therefore, if a new game were to come out it would most likely be from Atlus. Quite frankly I hope they release more Super Robot Wars titles here in the states because I'm a huge fan of that series.

The Sakura Taisen series is another one that people want. What about any games in that series, do they even have a chance here in the states?
JN: Sakura Taisen is one of those amazing games that never really made it to the states. Many of our fans have been asking us to localize that game, but haven't really had the chance to do so. We'll see how this game goes as well.

A while back in Japan, Nippon Ichi announced that Rhapsody would be coming out for the DS, are there any chances of it making it to the states?
JN: Rhapsody ~A Musical Adventure~ is coming to the Nintendo DS here in North America. Some hardcore gamers might know this game, since it was released here by Atlus back in 2000 for the PS1. It's a musical RPG that has a wacky storyline and a simple battle system that really caters towards a wide RPG fan base. It's loads of fun and if you're interested in any type of classic Japanese RPG, I think you'll get a good kick out of it.

Does NISA think that X Edge has even a remote possibility of coming to North America?
JN: Ahhh, I'm assuming you have seen X Edge from some of Japan's press releases. It's an awesome looking game with an amazing cast of characters. All of us in the office are craving to work on the game, but we aren't sure what's going on just yet. As soon as we get word from Japan about who's working on this game, we'll notify you.

Anything else you'd like to share with us about your upcoming lineup, as it seems full of Disgaea at the moment?
JN: We've got some surprise announcements to be made on June 6, 2008 at our San Francisco event, so please look forward to them. Also some of the games that you mentioned above...we are working on them right now. :)

Jack, on behalf of RPGamer and all of our readers, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us. We would also like to thank Nao Zook for organizing this interview for us; all of us are looking forward to seeing all of your upcoming titles in action. RPGamer will be attending the NISA San Francisco event featuring Mr. Niikawa from Nippon Ichi Software, Mr. Yamamoto, the head programmer for Disgaea 3, and the President of NISA, Haru Akenaga on June 5. Check back soon for more NIS America information as we are going to try to break even more of these secret upcoming games.

I.
I'm dying of cuteness here.

Makai Gakuen Disgaea was announced today. It's a dungeon RPG for the cellphone (only available in Japan).

Screenshots + Art

Archer girl is so cute, going to die.

The only other thing I can comment on is that the story portion of the article is describing each "Makai" game, Disgaea 1, Makai Kingdom, Disgaea 2, another game, and Disgaea 3...

"In a certain Netherworld, the deceased Overlord's son aimed to take his place"

"In a certain Netherworld, in the process of obtaining power an Overlord becomes a book"

"In a certain Netherworld, a young boy fights to defeat the curse of an Overlord"

"In a certain Netherworld, ???? 通信対戦に勤しんでいた。" <-- Having trouble trying to figure out what this is supposed to be saying. In a certain Netherworld, there is a Newspaper/Information War??

"In a certain Netherworld, the Overlord's Only Son rises to become a hero."

Oh god, the mage girl is adorable too.
Merchant girl!! TAT

... Heck, they even made male healers look decent. Oh hey, a 3D midboss can be seen in one of those screenshots.

Cellphone only though... bah. Bah.

Here are some new screenshots for Jigsaw World.

Cameos in Disgaea DS, two of which aren't new - they were featured in the Japanese Version of the PSP game actually... but the article also shows Plenair and new screenshots of the game. Whooo.

Hi Everyone! May is here, and it's a busy year for NIS and NISA so far! (And soon to be NISE?!)

First off, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is the official title for Disgaea 3 in America! You can check out information on it's English release over at Hardcore Gamer Magazine. Their cover issue features an interview with Jack Niida and tidbits here and there! For one, it official gives us the English names of the Disgaea 3 main trio. There's ... no changes here, so uh. Mao, Raspberyl, and Almaz! Yay!

... Just read the article. XO

Also~ NIS JP's website has many updates today! First off, new merchandise has been spotted on the horizon!

Disgaea 3 Merchandise Listing :

(To be Released 5/30!)
There will be a four set of pencil boards for Disgaea 3 to be sold at the end of this month, as well as a set of His/Her hot drink cups with prinnies on them! How cute! ♥ That's not all, though. The Disgaea 3 Digital Art CD will be released at the end of the month as well! It'll feature most art as well as sprites, wallpapers, comics, etc. ... each digital cd has different content in it, so I'm not too sure what they'll add this time. It will retail for about 40 USD.

The Infinite Loop website also updated today. It features new characters, news, system information, and an update to the download page- a wallpaper for your psp! Oooh, aahh.

---

The Jigsaw World Battle page also updated! Characters and special section were updated today. Ayame is really cute--!

Finally, [livejournal.com profile] nenena posted scans to DS & Wii Style Volume 06, which cover featured Disgaea DS. New updates to Disgaea : Playable Plenair, and... I'm not too sure on Zetta. I think he's just a boss, in all honesty. Uh, he does carry the ever so legendary Makai Wars 2, though! I love the cover art for this illustration, mostly because a prinny playing Disgaea DS with a prinny touchpen is so cute, okay.

Uhmn... doesn't seem like there's much new here other than that. Stay Tuned! ♥

Disgaea DS Screenshots. Not much to say here, other than the fact that I'm sort of worried about the screenshot with the inbattle cut-ins? They look horribly cropped, I hope that's not a final screenshot.

Also, information on the JigSaw Puzzle game coming out for the NDS is available as well on GPARA. I believe the full title is JigSaw World ~ The Big Battle! JigBattle Heroes~. ... I'll translate some of this later.

I think that's it for now.
Mana Khemia comes out soon! Watch out for it.

Disgaea DS Screenshots and Game Information

I like the new group art a lot. TAT;

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] nenena has posted new scans of Disgaea 3 from Dengeki Playstation. Please be aware these scans feature late-game maps. There's also a few story scene images that feature heavy spoilers, even if you don't know Japanese. If you're trying to shy away from all spoilers before the August release date, then I would avoid these for now. XD;

At the end of this month, the Disgaea 3 Drama CD Vol. 1 will be released, as well as the first book in the novelization. "THE BRAVE AND THE MAOH" -- I want to see cover art already~ Hmmn.

Along with the article Kotaku released, some images of game play have been added. Sadly, I find the way they plan to use the duel screens on the DS not that impressive. But, since NIS discontinues their games soon after release, I'm still gonna buy it.
