NIS America bringing Disgaea D2, The Guided Fate Paradox, and Time and Eternity west

[Kuro]

NIS America's lineup of RPGs for this year includes the required Disgaea game, and a couple of surprises.

This year's Disgaea is Disgaea Dimension 2: A Brighter Darkness for PS3 sees the return of Laharl, Etna, and Flonne from the first Disgaea, and adds a "master/pupil" system to the insane tactical strategy gameplay to help you transfer skills and boost stats. It's due this fall in North America and Europe.

The Guided Fate Paradox is a PS3 roguelike developed by NIS's Disgaea team. NIS bills it as "the spiritual successor to ZHP Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman" for PSP, which suggests Disgaea-esque humor and a lot of customization. It's out this fall.

Time and Eternity for PS3 was published in Japan as Toki to Towa by Namco Bandai. It's a role-playing game by Imageepoch with a weird 2D/3D hybrid style, in which hand drawn anime-style characters move around in 3D backgrounds (see what that looks like after the break). It stars a time-traveling princess who can switch personalities to her alter ego Towa. NIS will release it both retail and digitally this summer.

[AaronSOLDIER]

I'm still playing Ni no Kuni.

I wish Namco would hurry up with Tales of Xillia/2 as well.

Still loads of RPGs I need to play, will be a long time before I move onto next gen for sure.

Likewise I got a lot I want to play.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Hope all these games include Japanese as well, I play all games in Japanese that have that option including Ni no Kuni (which I didn't know supported it until I booted the game for the first time), if the space is there they should include it.

As I recall most if not all of NISA games do support the Japanese audio, although I have to say they really are getting better with the English dubs which makes it hard for me to choose sometimes. The one problem I have with the Japanese audio is when they make changes to the script in English and I can tell, even with my limited grasp of the language, that they're not saying what's written in the subtitles.

[AaronSOLDIER]

I notice that a lot too.

NISA is on a roll again! For the last few months or so, all they have been releasing is animes I have no interest in. I am very happy they are able to gain some game titles.
