15:37:14 <bay|AX|NISAG> hello everyone
15:37:36 <bay|AX|NISAG> same as last year, i was able to make it to AX this year
15:37:57 <bay|AX|NISAG> i'm really surprised with the turnout, i didn't expect this many poeople to be at the panel today.
15:38:25 <bay|AX|NISAG> i'd love to take the opportunity here to have a q& a session, ill do my best to answer any questions
15:38:44 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q&A
15:40:25 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Are we going to more games coming out for pc? A: Currently, it's becoming more and more difficult to release a game, and depending on a country, it sells differently, and we want to diversify and we are loooking at pc as well
15:40:58 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Character chowdown... phoentic characters and kanji? A: it will have hiragana and kanji in addition to the shown katakana
15:41:05 <bay|AX|NISAG> 400 when it ships
15:41:34 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Aetelier Aeisha? A: We will be working on it, but we haven't finalized when we will be releasing it, so please wait 4-5 months for more info
15:42:46 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Where'd you get the prinny hat? A: Sold out, but working on a new version that is based on a baseball cap...
15:43:27 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: More makai kingdom? A: We're currently not making it right now, but if you have more interest in the game, please let us know so we can consider it
15:43:40 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Plans for Digaea 5? More DLC for 4?
15:43:49 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: We are going to make disgaea 5
15:43:59 <bay|AX|NISAG> But it's not going to be right away
15:44:05 <bay|AX|NISAG> so if you can wait just a little longer
15:44:52 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: When are you going to give Asagi her game?
15:45:15 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: I'm considering right now.. that we should probably consider her a game by now...
15:45:41 <bay|AX|NISAG> I have a question for everyone, is it better for her to have her own game, or is it better for her to be a sad little girl who doesn't get a game
15:46:14 <bay|AX|NISAG> Looks like you guys are split.. i'm really wondering what I should do right now
15:46:30 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Any plans to release games for Vita?
15:46:58 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: The answer is yes, there is going to be a new IP released for the vita in august
15:47:04 <bay|AX|NISAG> and there will be 2 more titles that will be released soon
15:47:11 <bay|AX|NISAG> hopefully we can release some of the titles on the US side as well
15:47:28 <bay|AX|NISAG> Umm... the only problem, is in japan... the vita isn't selling too well
15:47:32 <bay|AX|NISAG> How is it in the US?
15:47:41 <bay|AX|NISAG> (Raise hands)
15:47:47 <bay|AX|NISAG> I will make a game for vita
15:48:07 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Back to the hats... I notice there is a hat size hierachy
15:48:23 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: Maybe it's just because my head is too big and it looks big
15:48:34 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Do you have a sneak peek of what you plan localizing in the future?
15:48:40 <bay|AX|NISAG> Super Robot Wars series?
15:48:59 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: We don't have a sneak peek at AX yet, but we have a couple of titles for next year which we can probably talk about in later half of this year
15:49:47 <bay|AX|NISAG> SRW... I love it too.. but yea... and we are looking into interesting various titles...and if you have an interesting title which you think we missed, email us at support@ and less us know
15:50:00 <bay|AX|NISAG> Q: Will you ever use the La Pucelle tactics battle system again?
15:51:03 <bay|AX|NISAG> A: Definitely for La Pucelle, we are thinking of something, the problem si that when we released the psp version in japan, it didn't do to well, so we are trying to figure out how we should release a new version of la puclle, but this ititle is one of our favorite titles so we are always considering what we can do with it
15:51:16 <bay|AX|NISAG> Last comment for fans?
