This is an announcement of three new NIS America games

NIS America held a press event last night during which it announced three new wacky, niche, NIS-style games for North America. Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel, the latest in Gust's RPG incomprehensibly-named series, will be released on PS3 in spring 2011. It features a completely new storyline and setting, so if you're up for a JRPG, you won't have to do your Ar Tonelico homework first. Warning: "edgy and kinky special moves."

The other two games are both for PSP. Cladun: This Is an RPG, officially the game with the most wonderful subtitle ever, is a PSN-exclusive localization of Classic Dungeon, a dungeon crawler with a similar intentionally retro-style presentation (and an extraordinarily similar logo) to 3D Dot Game Heroes. ZHP: Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman, which just immediately snatched away the "wonderful subtitle" prize we awarded to Cladun, is a localized release of Absolute Hero Modding Project, a superhero-themed, over-the-top strategy RPG. It'll be out this fall on both PSN and UMD. See trailers for Cladun and ZHP after the break.

ZHP looks extremely similar to Disgaea... they should have just gone with another Disgaea title.

@KiraXD They did that too - Disgaea 4 has been officially announced.

@Rukishou

haha! nice.. PSP or PS3 title?

@KiraXD

Zettai Hero Project: Unlosing Ranger Versus Darkdeath Evilman looks more like a 'rogue-like'.

@Jack Spicer It is one dood.

@KiraXD

what about a Prinny 2 localization???!!!!

don't do this to me, NISA!

So much Sony goodness today.

Very much looking forward to all three, though maybe more so the PSP RPG's. They look so good!

Either NIS America has a random subtitle generator or they are drinking far too much on their lunch breaks.

"Hey this looks like a good title for our fanbase"

"Yeah, costs won't be too high either."

"What should it's name be then?"

""This Is The RPG Your Mother Laid Out For You!" sounds good. Pop culture references never hurt.

I'll be buying Cladun, that looks excellent. The other two, time will tell...

I thought it said INS game at first. I'd love to have a game where you can round up and deport illegal aliens! (While still supporting lawful immigration, regardless of race/creed/religion).

ZHP! Awesome! I've been wanting to play it since it's been announced for Japan. Sure, it's going to be a grindfest, but that's what it's being advertised as, and it definitely looks like fun.
Cladun looks potentially interesting (yay, 8-bit music), but I'll wait to see a bit more of it.

AR Tonelico 3?! YES!

@SpecDotSign

Ar Tonelico! :D

And i Want Disgaea 4

With a name like "Zettai Hero Project: Unlosing Ranger Versus Darkdeath Evilman" how can you say no to that?

Seriously... how the hell can you say no to that?!
I was originally gonna buy Persona 3 portable, then found out Valkyria Chronicles comes out soon, and now this is coming out soon too! And knowing just how much I love NIS's sense of humor... It seems that even Valkyria will have to wait...

Loving the two PSP games announced. ZHP looks like Disgaea on crack, and I never thought that'd be even possible.

Only in a Nippon Ichi game can "The Ultimate Grinding System" be considered a feature.

@Vexorg

Lol, once u reborn every char at least 6 times and level em each to 9999 in D3 u kinda dig those systems :P

AR Tonelico 3!

I remember seeing the japanese trailer for Classic Dungeon earlier this year. I was anticipating playing that game and it looks like my chance to play it just got better.

I'm not sure how much enthusiasm I have for another Disgaea style 100 hour rpg, but ZHP looks to shake up the formula enough for me to get back into it.

I think my nerd bladder just popped with awesome.

And Sexy Jiggly Boobs.
HAHA GAINAX.

@Teh Rei I forgot to mention.
My drill is the drill that will create the heavens!

I want a Portable Version of Makai Kingdom. New or Remake I dont.t care.

Absolute modding hero project! Sweet! Excited! Yes!
