Nippon Ichi Software (commonly known as NIS) is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. As such, the Japanese outfit, probably best known for the Disgaea series these days, has confirmed a special anniversary livestream for Monday the 30th January, at 6PM UK time / 1PM Eastern / 10AM Pacific. It's happening over at twitch.tv/nisamerica.
Now, this event is being presented through the company's Western arm, NIS America (NISA), so featured announcements will be targeting audiences outside of Japan. We've been promised "new NIS game announcements, new merch, and giveaways".
It's possible that we'll get a localisation announcement for Disgaea 7, which was revealed back in August. The strategy RPG is launching in Japan tomorrow, at the time of writing. Beyond that, we're not sure what could be in store.
Do you have any particular hopes for this stream? Give us a "dood!" in the comments section below.

I'll just throw out the hope for a localization of Kuro no Kiseki announcement. Too early? Probably but hey after Reverie and Nayuta come out I guess that's next in line!
@Korgon I would be down for that but there already releasing 3 trails games this year so I'm not getting my hopes up
@Drago201 @Korgon Yeah I think they'll at least wait until Reverie is out before they even mention Kuro officially.
Besides, it sounds like this is going to be about NIS games, rather than games NISA publishes. Definitely wouldn't get your hopes up, unfortunately.
If Disgaea 7 launches as a Western Switch launch exclusive the series is dead to me.
Well not really but I’ll be seriously ******.
Still haven’t played Disgaea 6 yet. Just came & went in a way. Hopefully they learned their lesson.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Naaah they learnt their lesson and technical performance on Switch was a blurry abomination.
@ShogunRok Highly doubtful unless all they announce is D7.
@ShogunRok I have a question. Does NIS America also hold control over the Disgaea anime?
The most recent complete series DVD set from 2011 has finally gone completely out of print.
I'd love to re-buy the series on Blu-Ray, even if it's not HD (SDBD).

@KidBoruto Hmmm, so from what I can tell, NIS obviously owns the IP, but the anime was distributed by separate companies in that field. I don't think NISA in particular had anything to do with it.
I guess NIS would have to want it re-released, and it would have to find a distributor again.
@ShogunRok Hmm fair enough, thanks for taking the time to answer!
Discotek might be my only hope, don't see Crunchyroll releasing it physically again.
Disgaea 7 Western release date.
Disgaea 2 remaster announcement.
Release dates for Ys X and Ys Memoire.
Release date for The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails.
I guess that would be my wishlist for the future. They have a lot of good stuff up in the air.
