Last March, NIS America held its annual Spring Premiere, showcasing a trio of titles that the prolific publisher is bringing stateside. Recently, we were able to sit down with the company’s marketing coordinator and localization editor, to further explore Megen Souls, Legasista, The Witch and Hundred Knights as well as Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
EastAsiaSoft brings Mugen Souls to the Nintendo Switch. This turn-based JRPG follows the traditional JRPG model of taking a party out into the wild.
Mugen Souls was a PS3 game created by Compile Heart and published by NIS America that gives strong Disgaea vibes and has been updated and ported to the Switch.
The Witch and Hundred Knights looks pretty cool.
Good interview. I would have liked to see some Vita games, though.
Thanks, SharpSword.
Pretty good interview.
Looks like NIS is going to have a great year. Lots of good games and their anime line seems like it growing.
