Get ready? Get hyped? Get disappointed? Discuss!

They'll probably be announcing their next big game from the Disgaea team.

Edit: New info from Dengeki Playstation.

Okay... I don't think we'll be getting more more information today than this.


Kami-sama to Unmei Kakumei Paradox (Nippon Ichi 20th Anniversary game)

Producer: Souhei Niikawa
Director: Masahiro Yamamoto
Character Design: Noizi Itou
Music: Yousei Teikoku (Das Feenreich)
Animation: Shirogumi
Development: Counter Stop (Disgaea team)

- There are 6 pages on the game in Dengeki Playstation this week
- The preferred shortform nickname for the game is "kamipara"
- The story is about a boy who becomes a god working hard together with his angels to fulfill the wishes of the people
- The game could either be a RPG or a SRPG, it isn't clear
- There is no announced platform yet
- The teaser site for the game will open on July 12, and the official site will open on July 19
- Based on previous information about this title, some of the keywords used were "7 angels", "high resolution characters", and "tons of customization".



Other shit

- There is a "Project Arcadia" in development which is described as an exhilarating side-scroller with a princess theme.

- There is also a "Project D" in development which they say is targeted at satisfying both long-time Nippon Ichi fans as well as new fans.

- They're making a movie based on Hayarigami, one of their older visual novel adventures.

Edit2: More shit.

It seems that Nippon Ichi is also developing a videogame version of the free card game Z/X. The physical card game is a "free card game" where you can download the cards via pdf to play: http://www.zxtcg.com

There are currently no details as to what sort of format or platform the game is targeting. Maybe F2P mobile?

Nope, this game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457407

We might find out exactly what it is tomorrow, when Dengeki Playstation info leaks, since the magazine is due to be released on July 12 too.

It's always one extreme or the other with this company isn't it? You usually have the lolis, or in rare instances this:

(The rest of the characters in this game look "normal" which makes her stand out)

 

[MoogPaul]

Nippon Ichi? I can't wait for the ports.

 

[AniHawk]

they've been quiet on the new stuff for a while. like, since zhp and disgaea 4. not even a prinny-like game to help fill the gaps. they're definitely going to have a lot of stuff to announce. i think fans will be really surprised and happy.

 

[sajj316]

Hopefully this means a sale of their digital releases in the PS Store.

Disgaea 5 announcement?

Well, the Prinny team is stuck in development hell on the PS3 Witch game right? It got delayed to an unspecified date.

 

[AniHawk]

Disgaea 5 announcement?

did they ever actually say disgaea 5? i thought 4 was the last disgaea.

maybe they're just going to release a bunch of games in a row then

 

[semiconscious]

criminal girls to (finally) get localized!... not ...

 

[BlackIronCount]

I am hyped.
atleast there will be more detail for the 20th anniversary title. and hopefully there will be announcement of new title.

 

[Acosta]

Awesome studio. I salute you Nippon Ichi, may you live for many years. Looking for the announcement but I don't expect much.

 

[_dazed]

they confirmed disgaea 5 a while back

im hoping for some vita announcements

 

[shink]

I love Nippon Ichi games. I welcome more Disgaea universe games.

 

[Joni]

Unless they get something that equals the success of their Disgaea games, we won't see that franchise end.

 

[faridmon]

Didn't they confirmed that the Desgaea Team are working on the 5th one? Maybe they will announce that.

 

[duckroll]

No actually they've confirmed that they're working on the next major game which is not Disgaea 5. They probably won't start work on D5 until that game is released, and it's going to be formally announced this week. The Disgaea team is a new company now, which is wholly owned by Nippon Ichi and operates in the same offices (basically nothing changed other than their employment status). The company is called Counter Stop.

 

[Parakeetman]

Unless its a game with Prinnies in it Im going to be majorly disappointed. Which means most likely am going to be majorly disappointed.

Whoa, Didn't know that! that is major and Sounds exciting.

I sure did like Rhapsody, I forgot all about it until now.

Not a disgaea onegai.

[Forkball]

The announcement is that they will port Disgaea to watches.

 

[SolidSnakex]

That was NISA, which is their US branch. Clan of Champions and Legasista are the two summer releases.

Ah thanks. IIRC one was July and another August?

I hope we'll get a status update of The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen.

Nice. Seeing these pics amped up my excitement (though it also reminded me about a couple things we never got in the west, depressing me a little).

Valen from Dragoneer's Aria.

Special Reporting Division for Vita

 

[BassForever]

I would love to see more Phantom Brave

Probably the only person who does

Thanks, that game actually has a pretty neat concept. Pairs well with Sorkin's new show Newsroom.

Hopefully! Been interested in it since Noizi Ito is involved.

I hope this means a lot of their history being put up on DD portals at special prices

I literally can't contain myself. It's just too much.
