Nippon Ichi’s Diving Into Social Games And Online Games

[smile72]

Nippon Ichi, developer of the Disgaea series, is expanding into social games. The company opened subsidiary in Japan called Dion Entertainment that will focus on social games as well as online games.



Dion Entertainment is already staffed with employees that have online game know-how. Dion Entertainment will plan, produce, and manage titles in the social and online game markets.



Social games are on the rise in Japan and console game makers have been adapting key franchises like Persona, Monster Hunter, and even Final Fantasy for smartphones. Given the popularity of Disgaea in the region, I wonder how long it will be until we see Disgaea Social: Prinny Tamer.

I don't know how I feel about this. I think if they're good games I might play them. I hope Nippon Ichi does well.

First off, can you change the font color? It's hard for us dark theme users to read.

Nippon Ichi makes some good games, I think these will be...ok I suppose.

Just highlight the text and hit the eraser in the top right corner of the quick edit box. It'll remove the format the text is in.

Did it help?

Social games are the worst thing to hit the world market, they should go extinct and online games, if they are for consoles and handhelds I am all for it NIS can pull it off well, but MMOs hell no.

It was really inevitable, after a F2P, microtransaction-supported Disgaea Android game.

Could be cool, always would have loved to see some sort of Disgaea MMO or something of the sort.

On a side note, didnt know Disgaea for android was Pay-Per-Character

Not ALL social games are bad, you know.
