History YMMV / NipponIchi

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: No matter how old their games go back, the company employs a cute art style and expressive sprites that gives their work a distinctive look that avoids [[PolygonCeiling the usual problems of Play Station RPGs]].

* ClicheStorm: In full force concerning Gust, IF, and Hitmaker games.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Every. Single. Game. Soul Nomad and the Disgaea series take the cake.
* GameBreaker: All their TurnBasedStrategy games actively encourage {{munchkin}}ism, intentionally letting you power up weapons and characters enough to OneHitKill anything in the game.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The Makai Wars live event concert had two. One was finally announcing that Asagi's game was now in the planning stages and thanking all who supported her Asagi Fan Club, which reached over 10,000 followers. The second was the final song. What's the best way to thank the audience and all the fans for supporting Nippon Ichi? By having every performer come on stage and sing ''VideoGame/{{Rhapsody A Musical Adventure}}'s'' "Thank You".
* {{Moe}}: Nippon Ichi ''loves'' using this trope; [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Flonne]] and [[VideoGame/PhantomBrave Marona]] stand out the most. [[note]]On an unrelated note, Creator/SandyFox voices these two characters, who are best known for [[PigeonholedVoiceActor being cast into these kinds of roles.]][[/note]]
* NeverLiveItDown: NISA's poor handling of the localization of ''VideoGame/YsVIIILacrimosaOfDana''. While NISA's localization track record has never been spotless, their handling of Ys VIII has been their most heavily publicized blunder. While NISA [[AuthorsSavingThrow did later retranslate the game to address the criticisms]], reactions to NISA acquiring publishing rights to various games remain lukewarm at best.
* NightmareFuel: Quite a few things, many of which are probably compounded by the cute 2D-sprite graphics.

Reactions to NISA acquiring publishing rights to various games since then have been lukewarm at best.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The biggest problem with most, if not all, of their games (Aside from unbalanced difficulty spikes) is the fact that the stories have [[NiceGuy Nice People]] who are more often than not reduced to an undeserving [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkey Status]] whereas the [[{{Jerkass}} Really Nasty and Horrible People]] would more often than not get off [[KarmaHoudini scot-free for their deplorable actions]] '''and even notoriously be [[EasilyForgiven Easily Forgiven]]'''! [[Videogame/PhantomBrave Phantom Brave]] is a notably serious offender in this regard, followed by [[VideoGame/ZettaiHeroProject Zettai Hero Project]]!

* BrokenBase: After thirteen long years, ''Makai Wars'' has finally been announced...as a ''MobilePhoneGame''. This announcement has left many long time fans disappointed as they wished Asagi's game was a console or handheld game like her predecessors.The fact that Japanese developers, including Nippon Ichi, have a history of not localizing their mobile games and the heavy promotion of ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' main characters, leading to fears of Asagi being overshadowed in her ''own'' game, doesn't help. And that's not counting the built-in stigma from western gamers against mobile RPGs in general, especially considering difficulty concerns and the notoriety behind gacha mechanics. Still, there are fans who remain optimistic regardless, especially with Nippon Ichi president Sohei Niikawa saying that they will eventually develop a proper ''Makai Wars'' console game. Others feel that because Asagi is not getting a full-fledged console or handheld game like her predecessors, this will allow Nippon Ichi continue the infamous HostileShowTakeover schtick, with her fighting to instead get a proper console or handheld game.
