NIS America has announced that it will be hosting a special livestream event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nippon Ichi Software.
The broadcast will take place on January 30th at 6pm GMT / 10am PT / 1pm ET / 4am AET, with the company promising to announce new games and merchandise. There will also be a few giveaways, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to be in it to win it!
As for what announcements to expect? Well, we reckon a western release date for Disgaea 7 is probably on the cards, since it's Japanese launch is tomorrow (January 26th) at the time this post goes live. Beyond that, who knows! We'll certainly be tuning in and will keep you updated on all announcements as and when they happen.

Western dates for Disgaea 7, the two Ys games, and Legend of Nayuta are all I really care about.
Cool cool, they usually have some decent Livestreamers. Plus I get the thrill of losing a giveaway.
I am still hoping disgaea 2 and 3 get ported to switch. Would be crazy if you could get the whole series in one place.
Ditto ^
Here's hoping that Disgaea 2 & 3 is finally coming and maybe a remastered port of Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love will happen as the new one by Sega on PS4 was garbage.
NISA need to immediately jump on the hype and get release dates set for Ys X Nordics and the remaster of Ys The Oath in Felhgana. I know its wishful thinking that we get those soon, but at least let us know that they are coming. Also they need to wrangle the rest of the Falcom franchises from XSEED since they are doing nothing with them. Trails of Cold Steel 1&2 for Switch are already available in Asia territories and Japan. Many of the Ys games are stuck with XSEED as well. Ugh...
@Ralizah - Likely a port of Disgaea 2/2D as well. But that's the safest assumptions here.
Maybe Prinny Presents 3.
I hope Disg-...ah, never mind folk already on it
@Paraka @Ryu_Niiyama I've given up on a Disgaea 2 remaster. I'd be stoked, though. It's my favorite game in the series.
@Diogmites I haven’t finished the game but wouldn’t be opposed to a sequel.
@Ralizah - Well, how many times has the first gotten one?
I only know of the recent one, so it wouldn't be out of the question the second would get one eventually.
Hell, the Prinny games got ported. That's a broad qualification, so it'd be likely to see it happen.
@Paraka Only reason I don't see it happening is because 2 already got a PC port.
@Paraka Disgaea DS. A port on the PSP. Disgaea PC. The most recent one on PS4/Switch. NIS really digs rereleasing the first game
I would love to see Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2, as well as the rest of the older Trails games come to Switch. It's so weird we have part 3 and 4, but not the first 2 Cold Steel games (in US/Europe).
@nin10doom is all mixed up with translation rights between XSEED, Falcom, and NISA.
@AllieKitsune - Well, Relizah has pointed under under your post that the first also has a PC port.
Which suggests it is easily doable.
@Paraka Prinny Presents 3 already exists; it had La Pucell: Ragnarock and Rhapsody on it.
I'm really hoping for at least one more Prinny Presents, hopefully with the other two Marl Monogatari games on it. Beyond that, maybe another two with Disgaea 2/3 and D2/Infinite respectively? Heck, if they really wanted to be nice, they could put any old mobile games they have the rights to on G-mode.
Beyond that, NIS is in a weird place where I can't really ask for much else from them, since most of their work is in localization. I guess just more ports of the games that they've published before? If I got to make one request, while I know that it probably won't happen, I'd love to see them somehow get the rights to the localizations lost to the PS2 Atlus graveyard. It's not like Sega is ever going to do anything with Eternal Poison, Dual Hearts, or The Steambot Chronicles, so why not give the them to a company who'll actively get with the IP owners and get re-releases made.
Ys,Ys,please have some earth shattering news on the upcoming ys coming to NA.
@alexybubble - Fat fingers, meant 4. Didn't pay attention.
My bad for the misinformation.
@Ralizah hope springs eternal. It just looks odd (to me ) to invest in bringing everything but those two games unless someone lost the source code.
@Ryu_Niiyama Well, I agree, but I'm used to weird decisions from some of my favorite Japanese companies. Why did Nintendo port Mario Galaxy, but not Mario Galaxy 2? Why did Capcom never port the Disney Afternoon Collection, a bunch of ROMs of games that originated on a Nintendo console? And so on.
All I can think of is: they've lost the source code; they don't think it would sell well enough to justify development costs (a low bar for Disgaea, to be sure); or maybe someone high up in the company just doesn't like the game, for whatever reason.
So I'm in that space where, if it comes, then cool, but I'm going to carry on next expecting it.
Cold Steel 1/2... can I dream of Trails in the Sky?
