Nippon Ichi software, or NISA, as we know it here in America is a niche studio that continues to stick to their paved niche route despite every other big studio chasing the trend dragon. Throughout 2018 they continued to release interesting value heavy titles as everyone else rehashed this or that in a pieced apart, exploitative, and unfinished fashion. Some games that were of NISA's own signature brand, and others that strayed from their usual series releases. Something that I'm truly appreciative of.
As a gaming journalist who has made a lasting connection with the NISA staff over the years they constantly kept me up to date with their plan for 2018, and for the coming year. Every time I opened one of their email updates I was excited to see what they had to say, and what they had to share. I was never disappointed. In fact I found myself excited for each future release even though I didn't cover everything. I'm seriously looking forward, as a fan and reviewer, to what NISA has to bring to gaming in 2019. I think it's going to be a big year for them, especially with them being onboard with the Nintendo Switch now. I hope that in 2019 NISA gets the gamer respect, and support that they so rightfully deserve. Not too many studios stick to a formula in the face of looming industry disaster, but NISA most certainly has. It goes to show that, unlike most Triple A studios, NISA appreciates their core fans and will stick by them to the end. That's why I love Nippon Ichi Software.
In closing I will let you know that I was given the opportunity recently to give detailed feedback to NISA on how to possibly add to their future game development. This opportunity is a further reflection of how much NISA values their fans. Without spoiling what I said I do hope NISA takes my game design suggestions to heart. I think if they do you guys and gals will be in for a treat in the coming years. Speaking of which if you ever need advice NISA staff just email me as usual. I'm more than willing to toss some ideas your way free of charge. I'd even love to chat.
Seeing as it's nearing Christmas I think it's the right time to say that The Inferno (ME) wishes NISA's staff Happy Holidays & a blessed New Year! Keep doing that thing that you do best. Always be you even in the face of adversity. Never lose your identity, and never forsake your fans. We love you NISA. May 2019 be a stellar year for you, and your games!
Sincerely,
Brad "OtakuDante" Carver
