They say that birds of a feather flock together, and that's certainly the case when it comes to niche game stalwarts Atlus and NIS America. The companies, which began holding hands with 2003's Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, have continued their close, dare we say intimate relationship, concerning a trio of upcoming titles, including Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for the PS3.
The pair jointly announced that they will work together to release Disgaea 3 in North America on August 26, followed by both Disgaea DS and PlayStation remake, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, for the Nintendo DS on September 23. In each case Atlus will act as the distributor, no doubt ensuring that the entire ten-copy run of each title makes it safely to store shelves.

I don't think so; I'd wager that Atlus still held licenses to these two-- particularly Rhapsody-- and NISA couldn't negotiate out of it. For another example, MMV is opening a US branch but still licenses out Harvest Moon to Natsume. It might be something like that.

Didn't NIS America publish Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness?

The literal case? So I've been playing games made by birds all this time?

I think the joke would work better if you didn't italicize "the entire ten-copy run". Seems like you're trying too hard. Just sayin'.

Holy crap, Rhapsody!
It better have all of the sing-alongs intact.

Yeah, on the NISA website it says they were founded Dec 24, 2003. I doubt they got a lot of publishing done before the year was out.

Until they announce licensing for Mana Khemia 2, any NIS news is meaningless to me.
