This will mean more RPGs (or Strat-rpgs for specifics...) on the Wii, I hope. I would include the DS in that, but it seems to be doing alright.

Company president wants to get new fans.
by John Tanaka

July 10, 2008 - Get set for evil strategy gaming, Wii owners! Disgaea maker Nippon Ichi may be making the move to the Nintendo platform soon.  

Responding to questions from The Kabushiki Shimbun in Japan, Nippon Ichi CEO Kouichi Kitazumi said "We'll be looking into signing on with Wii in the future." 

 Earlier in the interview, Katazumi had admitted that his company had not given enough support to Nintendo game machines. "We wanted to sign on and get new fans," he said of Nintendo platforms in general. 

 Nippon Ichi recently released its first games for the DS in Japan.

I read about this earlier and if true would be very good news for Nintendo owners. Since Disgaea 3 is nothing graphically amazing, it could probably be on the Nintendo Wii too. That would even better news for Nintendo owners.

They should rename it " Company president wants to continue to develop cheaply. "

This is good news for myself. I hoped NIS jump on board a long time ago with the Wii. NIS developing for all three systems is only good for myself since I'll own all three systems. Still, I hope they take Fire Emblem approach and not try to focus creating a game revolved around motion sensor. Fire Emblem barely used the feature and turned out to be a fun game.

NIS was releasing Disgaea for DS, so developing for DS is not surprising since they're already doing that.
