Nippon Ichi Talks PS3

In an interview about Disgaea 2, Nippon Ichi Producer Shinkawa gave us a few more details on their upcoming PS3 game, Makai Wars. Well, not so much "details" as "don't expect this for a while." He says that the game is not really far in development yet and to be patient. He explains that their next title, after Disgaea 2, will be on the PS2 and that they have five upcoming titles in total. More interesting was his take on graphics:

DPS: When you move to PS3, will you continue to use sprites and pictures?
Shinkawa: Yes. It is very good at capturing the anime art style. To be honest, you can say our technology is PS-level when we developed for the PS2, and SFC level when we worked on the PS. So yup, maybe we will get to PS2 level when we move to the PS3! (laughter) Seriously, we hope to please users with the meat of our games - the content. We have also received many comments that are both for-and-against. (3D vs sprites) At the moment the encouragement to continue with our present style is very strong. Nippon Ichi shall move on the path that Nippon Ichi wants to go.

Expect the same art you know and love when the PS3 comes out. Nice to see there are companies who still know the beauty in 2D sprites.

» good old ichi

i liked disgaea, a game doesn't have to tax a system for it to be a good game. and with nippon ichi onboard for ps3 that's one more good string to the ps3's bow.

i grew up with 2D sprites (NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Genesis, Gameboy etc.) so hopefully they stick around, even in this day & age.
