While the launch of their official European online store could have gone a lot more smoothly, with complaints about pricing which are elevated from the North American store, Nippon Ichi Software America continue to dedicate the resources towards publishing titles in PAL regions that the games particular North American publisher for whatever reason doesn’t support.
NIS America have today confirmed their acquisition of three new games from Arc System Works which will be distributed across the PAL region during 2014 and 2015. Information on each of the titles can be found below:

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters (PS3 , PS Vita)

From the developers of Deadly Premonition and featuring music from Nobuo Uematsu, Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is a brand new visual novel that offers a unique battle system and an immersive tale of life, death, and the space in between. As an ordinary transfer student you start life at Kurenai Academy in Shinjuku. On your first day touring the new school grounds, you quickly encounter something supernatural, which throws you headfirst into the world of ghost hunting. You must come face to face with ghosts as you blur the line between life and death.
Would be nice if NISA could help bring BlazBlue to rest of Europe as well, it released digitaly in 5 countries only and Arc Systems is totally silent and refuse to even speek about the rest of Europe.
100% Agreed, I would be annoyed if the game wasn’t released in my region as well. But it seems like Arc System Works Europe is still actively handling the Blazblue series and that might not change anytime soon (Going by the fact their Twitter account is still active).
But maybe NISA starting off with these three Arc System Works titles are a sign of good things to come for the future?
