NIS America has changed Cave Story 3D’s date from June to August 9 in the US. The game will be released in Europe sometime in September. To try and make the wait better, the firm released new screenshots as well, which are posted on the game’s official page.

NIS America has unveiled the contents of the premium editions of upcoming strategy RPG Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten. The highlight? That’d have to be the 9 exclusive Disgaea 4 figures that come bundled with the super premium edition. More »

NIS America has confirmed that it’s to bring Disgaea 4 to the US this September for PS3. The properly hardcore turn-based JRPG released earlier this year in Japan via Nippon Itchi. It’ll release in Europe sometime this year – something that’s been reiterated this morning by NIS – but when specifically is unknown.

NIS America has announced it’s to bring over Cave Story 3D to Europe this summer for 3DS. An exact date wasn’t confirmed, though. It comes as a US release date was announced yesterday as June 28. The platformer launched on PC back in 2004 before making its way to WiiWare and DSiWare, the latter version having not launched in Europe.

Cave Story’s WiiWare edition may have taken its sweet time on the launch pad, but the little-platformer-that-could’s 3DS conversion seems to be making up for that in a big way. Speaking with Siliconera, NIS America pegged the game with a June 28 release date. Pretty snappy, seeing as Cave Story 3D was only announced a couple months ago.

If the words “Cave Story” and “3D” aren’t enough to coax your wallet out of its dark, lint-ridden lair, then grab a soul and check out this trailer.

Nicalis has seen fit to give us a quick glimpse of Cave Story’s bigger, better, fortunately-not-badass 3DS remake, and it’s got adorable quirk to spare.

We can pretty much guarantee this is the best video you’ll see all week of angry toaster man-related hijinks. And if it’s not? Well, we’d very much like to know what videos you’re watching. For, er, professional reasons. Check out the full teaser after the break.

However, the UMD release will only happen if the firm receives 1,000 orders by November 13 – otherwise production of the UMD will not happen.

Loads of PSP owners have requested a physical version of the title, so hopefully those same people with preorder it and make it happen.

NIS America’s Allison Walter has announced on the EU PS Blog that it’s localizing Atelier Rorona for English and French-speaking audiences.

The localization is being worked on right now, and “should be coming out in English and French next year.”

Atelier Rorona is a JRPG exclusive to PS3, should you be unfamiliar with it, but it’s something fans of the genre have been asking for, and are finally getting.

NIS US clearly had some kind of protospasm this morning, announcing a ton of stuff for US release this year.

And here it all is:

• Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days coming to PSP this year (Joystiq, plus movie)
• Last Rebellion Is NIS America’s 3D PS3 RPG (Siliconera, plus shots)
• Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy coming to PS2 this Fall (Joystiq, plus shots)

According to this Siliconera piece, NIS America will publish Disgaea hand-held spin-off Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? for PSP in the US on February 17.

“Prinny is a side scrolling action game where you control a single Prinny, but have 1,000 extra Prinnies (read: lives) in your reserve,” apparently. Also, NIS has said the game’s “as tough as nails,” so be warned.
