This Week In Imports: Where The New RPGs AreA couple brand new series are starting out this week including Princess Antiphona and Element Hunters.

 

Meanwhile, Koei is back to PSP ports with Dynasty Warriors 6 Special and a scaled down version of their time twisting love story, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3.

 

Also, Marvelous will release Rune Factory 3 on Thursday, which hasn’t been confirmed for North America… yet. Since it’s a Harvest Moon title were sure it will come over, but will it be from Xseed or Natsume?

    Well it seems rune factory is out of natsume hands, so i think (AND HOPE PLEASE) it will be XseeD, nothing againts natsume, i love all their tittles but they take too damn long, they are like 3 harvest moon behind!! that will take like 4 years while more harvest moon are released. And darn i wish we had the same psp releases than there, we need more psp games T_T or i wish i could just inject me something in the brain and learn japanese

    The Princess Antiphona cover is adorable!

    I'll bet Natsume will handle Rune Factory 3. So far they've brought over all the DS Rune Factory games.

    It really is an adorable cover. I hope NISA makes a decision on whether or not to bring it over soon. I'd really like to work on it!

  • http://www.siliconera.com Jenni

    I hope they do!

    NISA's really impressed me lately. Especially with the UMD release of Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman. (Preordered!)

  • http://www.nisamerica.com NickyD

    =D Well, thank you for the support! It'll be awesome if we can meet our goal and produce the UMDs. I'll always prefer a physical library to a digital one (I guess it's what makes me an “old guy” compared to the new digital tweens or whatever), so this is a nice move to me.

  • keriaku

    I really REALLY hope Princess Antiphona is brought over.
    Please NISA?

    I'm going to preorder this week, but I'm afraid NISA won't meet the 1000 limit by November 13. It took almost two months to sell 500 Atelier Annie premium sets. I don't know if they can get 1000 preorders in less than a month.

  • http://www.nisamerica.com NickyD

    Just on a personal level, I think what made the Annie premium sets a tough sell was the cost of shipping. I could be wrong, but I think it's a hefty fee.

  • wildarms

    Shhh… lets talk about that later… let them focus on ar tonelico 3… hehehe… though i wouldnt mind another game for psp, ive brough all nisa had released so far!.
    By the way is NISA planning to localize trinity universe? there are disgaea characters D: as well a alchemy and more importantly, PRINNIES

  • vegalta

    Ack! You're right! Cute overload! I'll wait to see some impressions before importing it, though…

  • shirokiryuu

    I'm totally looking forward to it! I hope it comes out soon with the same boxart!

  • wildarms

    Oh hey and i was wondering if NISA have any plans to localize trinity universe? there are disgaea characters D: as well a alchemy and more importantly, PRINNIES

  • http://www.nisamerica.com NickyD

    Hmm, Trinity Universe, you say? I don't think I've ever heard of that one… ;)

    Oh, any/all of you can feel free to add me on PSN. NDoerrFans, should you be interested.

    It's almost silly how few trophies I have for NISA games. They're always so tough!

  • wildarms

    Oh well, if you havent heard maybe it wasnt such a hit either D:, well anyway i will add you to my ps3 once i get home :0, i have a couple of trophies of disgaea 3 xD, and some of Xedge im still beating it :O

    Almost forgot – I've heard good things about the Harukanaru series, but its the only NeoRomance series I haven't tried yet. Has anyone else played it? What do you think? Is the series worth a try? The latest entry sounds kind of interesting, what with the characters from the past coming to the present.
