NIS hopes that its bizarre Disgaea strategy RPG series, as well as other NIS properties, will eventually hit the DS and Wii. NIS America's Phoenix Spaulding seemed hopeful, anyway:

"Back at Anime Expo, NIS Japan made a very brief mention about Disgaea on the DS. As far as I know, that's still planned, and I know they're at least looking at the others, like Wii, and maybe some other DS titles. I hope they do because so many of our fans, they're all DS kids. It really just makes sense to at least try it."

Disgaea has a small but vocal following. The game features a chewy strategic center with suicidal exploding penguin glaze. Thus far, the series has been exclusive to Sony's machines. Spaulding notes that the DS game is "ready to go" in Japan, but its American fate is still unknown.
