Big fan of Nippon Ichi Software? Bad news. The developer behind the Disgaea series, A Witch’s Tale, and the soon-to-be released Last Rebellion has announced their financial earnings, and dood, things aren’t looking pretty.

In 2009, the developer released 10 titles domestically and 12 overseas, most of them for the PSP and Nintendo DS. Some of the more familiar North American releases include Disgaea Infinite (PSP), Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days (PSP), Prinny: CIRBTH (PSP), Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy (PS2), and Cross Edge (PS3). The DS titles were mostly Japan-only.

Still, with that lineup, Nippon Ichi reported that their operating profit for the first nine months of the fiscal year is down a whopping 97.5% year on year. That, doods, is worrisome. On a relatively more positive note, the total consolidated sales for the last three quarters in only down 0.1%.
