NIS promises ‘new games, sequels, and ports’ for 2022

NIS 2022 plans

Port La Pucelle: Tactics and Rhapsody again, thanks

NIS 2022 plans include new games, sequels, and ports, as the company continues to build and dip into its extensive decades-long catalog. That’s actually pretty much always in the cards for the company, but now NIS is looking to feedback as a guide.

Here’s what producer Sohei Niikawa had to say to 4Gamer when asked about the future (as translated by Gematsu):

“In 2022, we’ll release various titles, including new works, sequel(s), and port(s). For the sequel(s) in particular, we’ll reflect on the opinions of our users and gradually improve the quality of the game. Please look forward to what’s to come!”

So we do know that Crystar is coming to Switch (NIS is publishing the port) in early 2022, amid anticipated wider releases for projects like Asatsugutori. We’ll likely see more and more teasers in the weeks to come, like this one that led to the announcement of Yomawari 3. It’s interesting to hear that feedback will be incorporated for the sequels “in particular,” as the company strives to adapt and survive in the modern era. No matter what the company will keep busy through their diversified publishing arm, which can outshine their developmental works in any given year.

As for me, possibly as part of those NIS 2022 plans, I want more HD “classics collection” projects. Give me Rhapsody, La Pucelle Tactics, Makai Kingdom: all of those late ’90s and early 2000s games in one place on a modern platform. While the company’s PSP ports were admirable, picking many of those up is exceedingly difficult to navigate now, not to mention the fact that La Pucelle was only released in Japan on PSP. We did get a “Volume 1” this year for Phantom Brave and Soul Nomad, so there’s hope.
