Atlus has certainly been keeping busy of late and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Atlus U.S.A. announced today that they’ll be the North American distributor for three upcoming NIS titles: Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for PlayStation 3, and, both for the Nintendo DS, Disgaea DS and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

“We are honored to continue working closely with NIS America and provide wide distribution in North America for these three great RPGs. The long-running relationship between our companies demonstrates our collective dedication to bringing the very best console and handheld RPG experiences to loyal fans,” said Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Atlus.

“Over the years, we have built a strong relationship with Atlus,” said Harusato Akenaga, President of NIS America. “We have worked together on a number of great titles in the past and we are thrilled to partner once again to release Disgaea 3, Disgaea DS, and Rhapsody later this year. Please look forward to some of the most hardcore games to be released for PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS!”
