Prinnies invade the PSP

Now here's something unexpected. the lovable prinnies from Disgaea have done enough to spawn their own game called "Prinny - Is it OK for me to be the main character, dood?"

The game will be getting a Japanese release in Japan on November 20th 2008 and a Playstation Store demo will be released on the 29th September 2008. No confirmation of a US or UK release but let's just keep an eye on it for now and see how it fares. You can watch the first trailer in the meantime on the official website.

Trailer: Disgaea DS

Yes, if you haven't heard the news already, Disgaea is going to terrorize your DS, with the US release stamped for September. The game is going to be just like the first Disgaea but, of course with added features. Here's a trailer to whet your appetite. Prepare yourself!

Disgaea heads to the DS

The Playstation exclusive JSRPG giant is no longer exclusive to the Playstation family. This week's Famitsu magazine in Japan has shown that Disgaea will be released on the DS, confirming a lot of rumours that have been hitting the gaming news sites for a while. The only thing that has been revealed though is that the translated title is Disgaea DS: Prince of the Demon World and the Red Moon. More news as it comes through, but for now, DS owners can rejoice!

Trailer: Disgaea 3 trailer

This trailer is apparently on the Japanese PSN so you may get some better quality there. For those of us who are just dreaming about PS3's and Disgaea, we'll have to make do with a Gametrailers trailer...

Oh, and remember that PSP fans can get a dose of Disgaea this week when Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is unleashed on Friday.

Edit: Gametrailers have the new trailer up and I trust their quality a lot more than Youtube obviously...

A week behind again...

Oops again! However, at least there's a ton of news to catch up on :-)

First of all, it was E3 last week. Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all had decent showings. Highlights for each of them include Microsoft showing Viva Pinata Animals for the 360 and Viva Pinata for the XBox360, Nintendo showing a new set of Wii peripherals, including a Wii Fit board and Sony, showing a new PSP and Echochrome.

Echochrome is a game that will confuse just as much as poor Crush did on the PSP. You turn the camera around to solve puzzles in a world of black and white. For example, if you want to get past a gap, you move the camera so a part of the scenery covers the gap!

Sony gave us some more news today though at their Playstation Premier event. Announced at the show were Nobi Nobi Boy (from the creator of Katamari Damacy), Disgaea 3 and Loco Roco for the PS3!
