>This is Nippon Ichi now
What happened? In the late 90s to mid 00s they made quirky, cute, games that could very easily appel to all ages (as evidenced by their earlier stuff being rated the equivalent to ESRB's E all across the board) with some playful sexyness with big boobed characters (as is common in all media for children in Japan) and some innuendo; not the purest titles in the world but certainly more appealing and friendly, with most plots revolving around making friends, overcoming enemies, and just all around fun.
Now, and since the late 00s with Criminal Girls, it's about beating poor defenseless girls (who barely do any kind of "sin" for which the game motivates you to literally torture them), often young kids, sexually torturing them for fun, and getting off to all around infriendly, mean-spirited shit that ends up being the absolute closest to hard pornography released by any developer in Japan, somehow even beating Compile Heart and D3, and even without full nudity. Backed by a stupid plot, downright vile and evil reasons for torture, and a mediocre game system again I have to ask:
What the FUCK happened?

Nigga.... all their 90s game didn't sell well. They were all trash. Nothing even good enough to localize.
It wasn't until they made their first weeb game... Rhapsody that they saw some sales. Then their first real break where it sold a shitload featured a shota and two lolis... Disgaea. From there, they found their goldmine.
THAT is what happened to Nippon Ichi.

Pretty much everything can be summed up to one thing.
Etna.

Yes, such riveting classics such as Jigsaw Land: Japan Graffiti, and Logic Mahjong Souryu. Who could forget?

It's not torture if they cum.
>Take game designed for perverts
>Censor it so that it doesn't appeal to perverts
>Still doesn't appeal to normies

You have no idea what 'weeb' means. Please stop using it.

>Introduce game breaking bugs in what is supposed to be a text translation only
>fuck up DLC releases and pull them from the store, no refunds given
Just another day at NISA
Hope they don't fuck up the punishment again in the localization.

NISA really can get fucked, I wanted to buy Disgaea 5 since I love the series but I refuse to buy anything with NISA on the box now so I imported the Japanese version instead.
