As I have mentioned before older JRPGs from the PS1/PS2 (especially NIS games) are not only starting to become hard to come by but are also getting expensive as a result of their rarity. So its great to see NIS continue this trend of bringing back and porting their older titles to new consoles. This is especially true with games that received updated version of the PSP that only stayed in Japan. Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3: La Pucelle: Ragnarok / Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is set to be released on the Nintendo Switch and Steam Summer 2022 , which right on the heels of Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2: Makai Kingdom: Reclaimed and Rebound and ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman which is set to release sometime later this Spring 2022.
