Nipon Ichi Games.

[beaglegod]

Ive never played any of the Nipon Ichi games so I figured Id go check out Atelier Iris, I mean after all its the latest right? Released less tha a month ago right?
Well guess what? I cant find a copy in any of the 6+ game stores in my area and none of them look like they will be ordering more any time soon. So I check on line and other than ebay. I find zip,nada! Are all his games supposed to be collectors items or something, so that they only release a few copys and than cut off supplys? Is the game worth the trouble of hunting down?

What does Nippon Ichi mean?? Mai from KoF is always saying that. I'd love to tell her to shuddap!!

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Nippon = Japan
Ichi = One, First

[crashNUMBERS]

Lets see. So your saying I can say "I won Ichi place in Nippon" and get away with it??

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Hopefully a guy would have the crap beaten out of him for saying something like that.

[crashNUMBERS]

Your right. Especially for adding a little english in the sentence. You know. But you still have to represent...

[Black Mage]

"Yo! Nippon Ichi!"

Mai > You.


Anyways, Nippon Ichi's games are usually quite good. Though I haven't played Atelier Iris, I've heard it's good.

If you're looking for it, you can easily order one online at ebgames or gamestop. As for as finding one in game stores, it's all over the place around here, and it just came out so it's not exactly 'rare'.

Mai > You.

Disgea, La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, Atelier Iris, Makai Kingdom (not out yet?)... not a shabby list of games for an RPG developer in a 2 year timespan. I still have yet to check them out but want to try at least 2 or 3 of them.

Atelier Iris was made by Gust. NIS is the publisher for the US release.
Rhapsody, on the other hand, was made in 2000, La Pucelle in 2002, Disgaea in 2003, Phantom Brave in 2004. Makai Kingdom is set to be released in the US on 7/23. Personally, I have it preordered already.

I was going by the NA release dats, my bad.
