Nippon Ichi is giving Disgaea fans even more hot Prinny action on the go, announcing that a port of the PlayStation 2 game Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories will get a PSP port next year. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5120117&view=rss&microfeed=true Simply hearing about Cross Edge, the PlayStation 3 RPG that combines popular properties from Nippon Ichi, Gust, Namco Bandai, Idea Factory, and Capcom together into one all-star role-playing extravaganza was enough to turn fans (myself included) into bubbling puddles of joyful goo. Seeing the game in action in this Japanese trailer is enough to make me want to gather up all of the North American fans, form a giant robot, march over to Japan and demand the game get a U.S. release behind the barrel of a gigantic laser cannon.

While non-Japanese reading Disgaea fans like myself sit curled up in a fetal position staring at the month of August on our desktop calendars, desperately waiting for Disgaea 3, the Japanese are getting ready to get their games topped off with additional content packs. Lucky bastards. The first pack, which goes for 500 yen and comes with a special PS3 theme (though they can be split up) contains Disgaea 2 characters Adell and Rosalin, along with the always welcome kitty-girl Nekomata monster.

What, no hype left for Nippon Ichi and Disgaea? No love for Stupid Hard Levels? For switching seats with classmates? Come ooooooonnnn. Maybe this English-language trailer for the game will get you in the mood for throws, and Prinnies, and combat of a tactical nature. More »

Being a gigantic fan of the Japanese RPG and knowing the appetites of said fans, I am half tempted to just toss these new Famitsu scans out onto the site and then head for high ground to avoid the ensuing flood of drool, but I'll be nice. More »

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has been poked and prodded by the folks at Akayuki.com, revealing a game that's been rumored since the middle of last year, Disgaea for the Nintendo DS. According to the translator the game is titled Disgaea DS: Prince...and that's all we've got. Simply an announcement that the game exists. No screens, no interesting tidbits, and no telling if the prince in question is Laharl or the aging pop sensation. I'm sure that most Disgaea fans are with me when I say that just knowing it's coming is enough...for now. More »

Cult strategy hit Disgaea will get a sequel, according to developer Nippon Ichi. Tenatively scheduled for a 2006 release in Japan, Masaki Senki Disgaea takes place three years after the original and plays with a new cast of characters. Though the Prinny penguins certainly aren't extinct, expect to see them in lesser, supporting roles. More »
