Haha, poor NISA. They must facedesk every time N1 announce a Vita game. Which, seemingly, is all the time recently.
At some point they're just gonna have to get these vita games translates so they can port them to steam later.
As for the announcement, I still have cladun X2 sitting on my vita unplayed. Should get round to it I guess!

Wasn't Guided Fate Paradox basically a new ZHP?

So this is how the world receives yet another great Yoh Ohyama soundtrack.

Didn't they also give htoL#NiQ (or however you spell it) a sequel? That game was straight up mobile shovelware and I don't think it sold too hot.

LOLSOFUNNY, seriously man? The last 2 "mobile shovelware" games they've developed have actually sold fairly well considering they don't appeal to anything more than a small niche. Like it or not, that "shovelware" is the main thing keeping that company afloat right now, ofcourse they're going to keep making them.
Well, I do like these games, so at the very least, they made me happy
But those are the PSP sales?

Well then, no wonder no one wanted the Steam version. I see I didn't actually read the post and just assumed it was Steam since the numbers bombed there too.

What about Legasista? (Which was great.)
They have 16,000 fans:
PS3 : Legasista ( Nippon Ichi Software ) { 2012-03-15 } - 8,871 / 16,515

With good taste. Legasista was easily their best game.
Maybe they're not that eager when their "indie" projects on Vita sell as much as Disgaea 5.

You make that sound like it would be a bad thing. At any rate, the ZHP director is at Idea Factory now - his recent game Trillion: God of Destruction will be out in English soon - so the chances of another one coming from N1 are nil.

Now i'm curious to see how this sells in 2016.

HOLY SHIT YES.

Haha, that's... quite something that they can so consistently hit those numbers.
By the way, aren't System Prisma owned by NIS? What have they been doing for the past 4 years apart from this?
I didn't put nearly as much time in it as I should have purely because it was on a home console at a time I played games like that on handhelds. Should probably give it another shot.

So, bit of a strange one, but this seems as good a place to ask as any. Are System Prisma definitely developing this? Because, about a year ago I made this post on another forum:
The System Prisma link there, which was working as of December 2014, now redirects straight to NIS' site.
And the article Gematsu posted just stated that it's being developed by NIS.
Which makes me wonder if all the stuff about staff exodus to Idea Factory because those subsidiaries were set up to avoid paying bonuses was true.
I was reading through NISA's published back-catalogue earlier today (it was a slow day in work) and looked into Hit Maker's games which were published by NISA; as well as System Prisma's titles like Cladun and Legisista.
The latter got me reading about them on Giant Bomb:
http://www.giantbomb.com/system-prisma/3010-6992/
I noticed it said at the top that they were bought by NIS in 2007, but they hadn't worked on a title (that was listed on Giant Bomb) since 2012. Their website was also blank after 2012:
http://www.prisma.jp/
With seemingly only one game following Legisista.
Further reading brought out this article about NIS establishing Nora and Counterstop as new subsidiaries, as well as the fact that Studio ToOeuf existed which I hadn't heard of before.
http://www.siliconera.com/2011/04/01/ni ... key-title/
I was just wondering if anyone knew what was going on with all these subsidiaries these days? It seemed weird that System Prisma went completely radio silent. My assumption was that they were just absorbed into NIS proper, but that seems strange after a period following being bought when they kept their identity.
Do we know which subsidiaries developed which games? Do we know if any of them even exist any more?
I was wondering if any of this was linked to the supposed exodus of developers that was a reported a while back (I dunno if we're allowed to talk about that here, just let me know if we're not):
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=688013
There was a rumour in there that all the subsidiaries were closed due to an issue with the management, but that's a whole other story that sounds sketchy and not true, but still:

Anyway, just wondered if any of you guys knew about more about this stuff than me. Cheers!

mmm yes
Cladun was one of the first few PSP games I bought on Vita and I loved 'em both. The feudal theme in this one is so much my thing too.

Still waitin on that Disgaea D2 Vita.

I get that it's supposed to look retro and to stay faithful to the series... But that's CladunX2 with a new skin, with the difference that CladunX2 was a PSP game.

Fine by me.
NIS is waiting until that Disgaea 5 money runs dry.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if it were released on PS4. We should start a petition.
You PS4 gamers don't need nothing. You'll get your fair share of games, a lot more than the Vita ever will. Feel free to leave this to Vita gamers for a little longer, I'll let you know when they decide to port it to PC.
So Legasista is actually worth a shot?
EDIT: More Vita exclusives are fine by me. Give me more of a reason to grab something for the system.

Yes. Very, very underrated(not rated at all?) gem.
