Nippon Ichi planning to develop for the Xbox 360 too

nis.jpgThis time around Nippon Ichi Software is going completely multiplatform since NIS is going to be developing Xbox 360 games. No titles have been announced, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see Disgaea 360 sometime in the future.

 

Idea Factory who created the Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos series has a good relationship with NIS America. And in Japan they have two SRPGs already out on the market Absolute: Blazing Infinity and Diario: Rebirth Moon Legend. Both are Playstation 2 ports, but neither has been released in North America. I wonder if NIS America is eyeing these games too…

Sprites + Strategy = Fun

Chris Says:

Me not having to pay $600 to play Disgaea 3 = Funner

Pedro Silva Says:

no point in doing a X360 version of a J-RPG since it won’t sell, so it stinks of moneyhatting, still, their games should be easy as hell to port so no damage (same for Wii, the only difference being that Wii actually sells in Japan), but still… No point in doing exclusives.

AM Says:

There’s perfectly good point in doing a 360 J-RPG. Believe it or not, there ARE American 360 owners that want them, and NIS is working on improving their American market penetration (as witness the fact that they opened NIS America offices instead of continuing to just funnel their titles through Atlus, as they did with Disgaea 1). Of course, if Disgaea 3 is released for the 360, I’ll be sad. Not because I don’t want it on 360–I’d be happy to see 360 gamers get to play it–but because I ran out and bought a PS3 on July 18, the day after NIS announced Disgaea 3 for PS3. A fool and his money… *sigh*

Jesus Says:

I want NIS games on my 360 while none have been able to live up to Disgaea 1 (not even Disgaea 2) they are fun nonetheless.

Johnny Says:

Wow, I would’ve thought that NIS would officially announce support for the DS before ever considering the Xbox360! Great news, imho.

Spencer Says:

@Johnny - Actually, NIS officially announced DS support months ago. Their first DS game will be a US exclusive and it is scheduled to come out within this fiscal year.

DA Says:

Laharl Says:

I’d like to see Disgaea on the 360 or any other Nippon Ichi strategy game. Who needs to sleep anyway?

I know a great many people here in america who will be happy to have this over on 360. Many of the people who play jrpgs cannot easily afford a ps3 (including me) and would love to see this on the 360. After all 360 is already acquiring many other jrpgs, why not Disgaea?
