Never had any interest in the games they have. Not to sound mean though. Is either one of two things, more info about the switch port of YS VIII on switch which is confirmed to be done.

OR! Is either a port of Criminal Girls to switch.

 

[leon315]

Do they have e any other new titles to announce??

 

[Marco_Buns]

Would be cool if they will announce Danganronpa for the Switch.

a press event for a single game which is a port, and it has to be one title for some arbitrary reason

you sure there?

I'm not sure the whole presentation is about a single game, but may be mentioned.

Hopefully we'll get some information about the status of the PC port of Ys VIII. Last news we had on that front was that the game was still experiencing heavy framerate issues and a memory leak, and would not only require fiddling with deeper code than they intended, but that that work in particular was being passed off to another company entirely. Unlikely we'll receive too much detail regarding that process, of course, but at least a more precise release window wouldn't be out of the question.

Hoping for them to announce a release for a Disgaea that is actually as good if not more as the first one for a change and another Prinny game, because those were amazing and hilarious!

Imagine Prinny 3 on the Switch in freaking HD. That would be the end of me.

 

[Enryx25]

Would be cool if they will announce Danganronpa for the Switch.

I hope 1 and 2 though. V3 shouldn't be played before those two.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Gimme more Disgaea on Switch! Disgaea 5's my first Disgaea game, and I LOVE it! I don't really know their release schedule for Disgaea games, but would it be a stretch to wonder if a new Disgaea game will be announced tonight?

 

[PocketQ3]

One of the few companies I still get excited to hear news from (along with Tales studio and Falcom). Nippon Ichi Software makes some fantastic long-lasting games. Made my PSP my baby back in college, lol.

Your profile pic just reminded me of ZHP. I almost forget about this game.

[Lycan911]

How much time till it starts?

Edit: 4 hours, 25 minutes. Eh, gonna watch it in the morning, ain't staying up all night. Hoping for Danganronpa trilogy on Switch.

 

[DarthDub]

Can't wait for them to censor more games!

 

[Deleted User]

It's about to begin!

 

[SkittleDash]

It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm curious about their lineup. >.<
