Overview
Nichibustu of America: A Game Company OG is the second Nichibutsu OG. It is treated more like a reboot then a sequel. Like the original, the OG follows the misadventures of a fledgling video game company and their constant mishaps. It eventually died out and was succeeded by Nichibustu Norwegia: It's All About Yuu.
Plot Summary
Ditto McCloaker has been appointed the president of the newly-formed Nichibutsu of America. He quickly sends out help-wanted ads and attracts a large staff of game developers. First he lures them into Willy Wonka-style death traps, then he forces them to navigate a death maze before officially hiring them. Ditto soon finds a rival in Vorpal, the president of Vorpalsoft.
Nichibutsu begins developing the NICHE gaming system in order to contest Vorpalsoft's EVILS. At one point Ditto fires Big Al. Al proceeds to join Vorpalsoft but is fired from there too. Vorpal leaves him with a token DVD player, but later finds that Goom and Ba accidentally left Vorpal's secret rare game disc in the player. Vorpal is successful in stealing the disc back (Al having regained his Nichibutsu job through the aid of Game Dæmons), but he soon loses it in a vending machine when he exchanges it for a Cherry Cola.
In the meantime the Nichibutsu employees all engage in various schemes and socialize with sentient vending machines. Vorpal sees this as an opening for him to make his final blow, and he releases the EVILS while the Nichibutsu employees are busy partying with the vending machines. Ditto then begins to focus on advertising the NICHE's upcoming release. In an impulsive attempt to trump Vorpalsoft, Ditto sets the NICHE's release date for just a week from now. He then discovers this to be an error when he sees that the system is nowhere near complete, and neither are the games.
Ditto is saved by the president of Nichibutsu of Japan (or so it appears to be him), who gives him a toaster-shaped console to be released as the NICHE 64, along with several launch games. Strangely enough, an identical console is then given to Vorpalsoft by a similar old man. Apparently Masa, Mune, Goom and Ba had something to do with these events. Ditto then makes the employees focus on developing peripherals for the NICHE 64 within a week.
