During a lunch event conveniently located both near TGS proper and extremely near our hotel (so near, in fact, that it was in it), NIS America announced two new games for PlayStation systems.
Atelier Rorona, the latest in Gust's Atelier RPG series (and recently confirmed for Europe), will be released in North America in summer of 2010, and the sequel to the improbably-titled
Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? will be released for PSP in North America in early 2010. We guess the title
didn't hurt sales too much!
NIS didn't have assets at the moment, but we were able to find
screenshots through the magic of remembering that the game came out in Japan
last year.

That has got to be one of the worst titles of all time, along with wargasm and irritating stick.
Anyways, you guys gonna write an article about Room? I wanna see it :P

Finally. An option to save between rounds of Holy Badman. Too bad we had to wait for the sequel to be localized to get it.

Funny thing is, Yuusha no Kuseni Namaiki Da was a topic of the Editor Exam for NipponIchi. I should know, because I applied for it and got to the first round of interviews. Didn't get past that though.
Also, Sakura Wars was the other game that was on the Editor Exam.

Ah thank you NIS for releasing Atelier Rorona in America. Summer is a long wait but I guess it has to be done with the fact of FFXIII, Star Ocean the Last Hope International, White Knight Chronicles, and so on coming to America in the Spring. Atelier games are always awesome games which is why Gust quickly became 1 of my favorite companies and then there is Mana Khemia and Ar tonelico which by the way are amazing.

I was hoping that NIS would bring Agarest Senki over but Aksys took that instead. Because of that, I had nothing else to say at my NIS America editor interview. God damn.

Holy answered prayers, Batman!
Seriously, though. I consider the original one of the must underrated games. This is fantastic news!

Agreed. I'm one of 2 people I know that payed the demo and didn't go "LAME!" and walk away from it. Definitely one of the PSP's most underrated games.

True Akskys got Agarest but I still have the slight hope for Tears to Tiara (both games) getting released in America for PS3. There shouldn't be any problem with that since after all it's basically the visual novel but with no erotic scenes but more gameplay. And my hope is for NIS to bring it over.

I loved Atelier Iris, but couldn't get into the sequel at all. Hopefully Rorona will be good.
