Get ready for NIS Wii and Wiiware games

Nippon Ichi logoSiliconera‘s been busy uncovering new information this week, as it also found out that Nippon Ichi has been approved to develop Wii and Wiiware titles. As any DS RPG fan already knows, NIS has developed and released games for Nintendo’s other system - two of which, Disgaea DS and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, were released stateside in October, 2008.

NIS’ first game for the system has already been revealed, Let’s Hitchhike. It is a Wiiware game that is currently scheduled for a 2009 release in Japan. No other titles have been confirmed or announced.

Both Siliconera and Wii Fanboy have mentioned that this could potentially mean a Wii version of Disgaea. I, for one, hope that NIS uses this opportunity to create some new games, rather than create a third port of an already familiar title. I love prinnies, the penguin-bomb Disgaea mascots, as much as the next girl, but I’m Disgaea-ed out.
