NIS America Struggles With Economy, Swine Flu But Still Delivers

Last Friday’s NIS America press event started with President Haru Akenaga apologizing for the localization job on Ar Tonelico II and wrapped with the announcement of [[link]] several new upcoming games.

The Western branch of Nippon Ichi Software is taking a hit with the sagging economy, Akenaga said. Worse, he added, a lot of Japanese companies are restricting corporate travel right before E3 on account of swine flu concerns.

But despite the company’s struggles and despite its smallish size, NIS America is still delivering the goods with this year’s announced lineup:

A Witch’s Tale (DS) – Fall 2009

Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days (PSP) – Summer 2009

Last Rebellion (PS3) – Fall 2009

Puchi Puchi Virus (DS) – May 2009

Cross Edge (PS3) – May [[link]] 2009

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What did I do to deserve this? (PSP) – July 2009

Mana Khemia 2 (PS2) – Fall 2009

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again (Wii) – June 2009

Sakura Wars (PS2, Wii) – Fall 2009

Full Blast Hitchhike (WiiWare) — TBD

Last Rebellion and A Witch’s Tale will be playable at E3. Additionally, Disgaea chief programmer Yoshitsuna Kobayashi announced that he’d tentatively be releasing his own game this year from his new self-named studio. Kobayashi said that his game won’t focus so much on graphics as much as it will on gameplay and that he hopes to have something to show off soon.
