While our review for Mugen Souls is right around the corner and we’re going to have quite a focus on NISA soon, I wanted to mention an upcoming title of theirs. The Witch and the Hundred Knights is a Nippon Ichi Software developed game with more wonderful artwork by Takehito Harada!Read More

Disgaea D2 Set For March Release In Japan, Disgaea 5 Teased
Posted on October 24, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
The Disgaea franchise has been with us for two console generations now. Beginning life on the PlayStation 2 it has stayed exclusive on Sony hardware, most recently appearing in the form of a port of Disgaea 3 on the Vita.
Nippon Ichi is not resting with the confirmation of two new titles. Disgaea Dimension 2, a “mid-quel” if you will, takes place between Disgaea 1 and 2 and will feature the return of Laharl, Etna and Flonne as well as new characters. The game’s combat engine will be a mix between the series 1st and 4th entry according to the company.
They also confirmed via the D2 official blog that work on Disgaea 5 has begun but no other details were revealed. D2 will release on March 20th 2013 with no North American release yet confirmed. NIS Japan just keeps churning out new games!

Mugen Souls Is Shipping Out To Retailers
Posted on October 19, 2012 by Les Major
It seems like there may have been a slow down with Canadian orders since both EBGames.ca and Amazon.ca still list Mugen Souls as unavailable or on pre-order, but the latest NIS game is finding its way into the hands of gamers! We’ve heard news of a production issue that slowed down the process but thankfully it looks like everything is cleared up now.
Some reviews havn’t been sparkling for the game, however if you’re a hardcore NIS fan like myself I’m sure you’ll hardly notice as you grind through the game and enjoy it’s storyline. I still have yet to get my copy but I do plan to review the game as soon as possible from an NIS fanboy perspective. That’s not to say I’m biased, just that I enjoy their content and have a history of playing many of their titles.
Be sure to check out our other Mugen Souls Articles and decide for yourself. To me this one looks like another classic, in a new direction that works. I guess I’ll see as I write the Broken Joysticks review in the coming weeks.

Lots Involved in Mugen Souls Character Customization
Posted on October 12, 2012 by Les Major
NIS games have always given gamers tons of characters to choose from, and even more recent games like ClaDun x2 and Legasista have included the ability to draw what you like for your character. Mugen Souls takes that creativity in another direction, allowing gamers to choose from tons of costume pieces with more for each job class. There’s even more to buy at the “Mugen Exchange” in game. Click for the trailer!Read More

ClaDun x2 is a fun and portable (if you’re playing the PSP version) adventure in the latest action RPG system from NIS. Much like the PS3 release of Legasista on PSN, ClaDun x2 lets you explore random dungeons, enjoy an unfolding classic NIS storyline and get to know a complex but enjoyable system.Read More

Legasista | Review
Posted on August 22, 2012 by Les Major
If you’re a fan of NIS games and enjoy action RPG’s like Secret of Mana, this is a game you may enjoy. While it doesn’t feature the vast explorable world like Secret of Mana featured, it does have the random dungeons and intense leveling you’ve come to expect from NIS. That being said, you may want to skip this review if you’re already planning to get the game. I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers but due to the gentle learning curve in the game it’s hard to not somewhat spoil the content of the first five worlds you visit. If you’ve already looked up the games features you’ll know what unlockables I’m referring to already I’m sure. So lets talk about the system Legasista uses first.Read More

Grind To Infinity With Cladun X2 On Steam
Posted on August 14, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
NIS America’s latest digital release, Cladun X2, has found its way on to Steam. In Caldun you take on the role of wandering adventurer trapped in a world the size of pocket. Just because the landscape is small, doesn’t mean that Caldun doesn’t bring a full sized fun factor with three different type of dungeons, the ability to grind your character into infinity (literally) and much more.
There’s probably no better way to spend the last dog days of summer than grinding away all day and night. Sure, that’s probably not plausible for the majority of us, but the charming 16-bit inspired art style should draw in the most jaded old school RPG fanatic.
Check out screenshots after the jump. The game is available on PC for $19.99 USD!Read More
