Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, there will not be a news collection this week from me. Thank you for understanding.


NIS Classics vol. 2 did officially release in NA/EU this past week though, congratulations to the team! Now's the chance to pick up Makai Kingdom or Z.H.P. if you missed out on them the first time around! [ Site | Steam | Nintendo ]

And that's the week in review! Anything catch your eye? We inch ever-closer to the Japanese release of Yomawari 3 in just a few more days. The reveal of an enhanced remaster for GrimGrimoire coinciding with the game's 15th anniversary was also a very pleasant surprise.

The rest of the week in review. )

And that's the round up for this week, running a little late! Anything catch your eye? This will be the first time the west has gotten La Pucelle: Ragnarok, as previously it was a Japan-only re-release for the PSP. Rhapsody has gotten re-released in the west before, but... perhaps we should politely look the other way on that one and hope this time will be better.

And that's been the news this past week! Anything happen to catch your eye? Spring is usually a pretty big time for video games, and there's certainly a handful of titles lined up. We'll do our best to make note of them within a month or two of their release!

Possibly Petta if NISA localizes the game and she is indeed Zetta's daughter. The article says she will be the star but I don't know if this means we'll be controlling her or if she just plays a really big part.

Her voice actor will be Kaori Mizuhashi. Haven't heard her play a new NI role in awhile Nippon Ichi/Nisa from Neptunia doesn't count.

Information on the official sites are sadly sparse and the mysterious girl in Makai Kingdom still doesn't have a name, though it would be nice if someone could at least translate the About section of the Fuuka & Desco site. The Makai Kingdom article goes over the main story and game systems once again. The Disgaea 4 DLC scenario article talks about both the Tyrant Valvatorez and the Fuuka & Desco chapters, which includes an interview with Fuuka and Desco's voice actresses Mimori Suzuko and Manabi Mizuno and new artwork by Takehito Harada (Which you probably have seen in the previous post) and Tomomi Kobayashi (Character artist for the SaGa series). )

Who is she?
Zetta's... daughter o_o ?
***EDIT*** You can have a better close-up of her face on the official site:
http://nippon1.jp/consumer/phantom-kingdom/psp/index.html
She looks like the cheerful type, and I love her white eyes.

Anyway, this Dengeki article features Tyrant Val, a cute Desco and Fuuka picture and Makai Kingdom PSP.

This Fuuka and Desco Picture is just way too cute...

* Makai Kingdom PSP port. Additional content specific to the port include:
- A scenario called "Papa is the Strongest Overlord in the Universe". A new character will be featured in this scenario. Said character wears a cape and has red pigtails (Thanks [livejournal.com profile] tastystirfry!)
- Battles with Valvatorez and Fenrich from Disgaea 4.

* Two DLC scenarios for Disgaea 4 (Though I'm hoping PSN will be up by then.)
- 8/31: A prequel story starring Tyrant Valvatorez. Supposedly, it will lead up to how Fenrich met Val and possibly the promise he made with...you know who.
- 10/27: The Fuuka and Desco DLC scenario which is entitled "Fuka & Desco’s Chapter Begins". No details on how this story will play out yet.
- Also, like Raspberyl Mode, an append disc will be released containing the DLC. A limited edition bundle will include a Desco figure (I'm assuming it will be a nendoroid since her big sister got one.).

UPDATE: New official sites for Makai Kingdom Portable and the Fuuka & Desco DLC chapters. There's nothing on either site , which won't be updated till July 7. The Makai Kingdom Portable site, however, does show what could potentially be the new cover art as well as our new mysterious character.

Sorry about spamming you guys today, there's just a few things to be covered:

Rosenqueen is taking preorders on a Pram figurine set which I have not seen before other than on the Japanese sculpturer's website. I guess they're finally mass producing it! That's good news, Phantom/Makai Kingdom is rather underrated when it comes to merchandise.

Here she is :

There are more images on the website. :> So pretty.

Also, on Sunday, July 5th, NISAmerica will be holding a special booth at AnimeExpo about their translations of games and the process. If anyone can check it out and write a report that'd be awesome, I can't attend that day due to work. :V There's also a map here on where NISAmerica's booth will be (right next to the entrance of AX!) and new goodies will be sold this year! Yay!

---

Finally, if you preorder Phantom Brave from Rosenqueen you'll get a free soundtrack for the first 500 customers. Whoo!

We are giving out the Japanese Original Soundtrack Sato Tenpei's Selection to the first 500 customers. This includes 10 songs from "Phantom Brave: We Meet Again" and a tray card that includes the Japanese lyrics for two songs, "Tomodachi" (friends) and "Heavens Garden."

Curse you, Heaven's Garden. You always make me cry because I'm a huge baby. :( ♥

NIS America announced that they are reprinting Disgaea 2 and Makai Kingdom in limited numbers. Pre-orders for them went up for the games a few days ago, so if you never got a chance to play them or if you just sealed copies, nows your chance to get them for cheap.

Also, it seems like Mana Khemia was re-released at $20 a few weeks ago (most likely just the game alone).
