Disgaea's the limit: Prinny-starring platformer dated for Japan
The internet is also where you'll find the game's official website, along with word that Prinny: Is It Okay If I Am The Main Character? is due to arrive on Japanese PSPs on November 20th. If you have a "friend" with a Japanese PlayStation Store account, you'll also want to check out the demo as of September 29th.

It would be cool if it were a PSN title as well.

I love Japanese advertisements

Nice Lil Wayne reference in the title. One of his best songs from the Drought 3

I didn't realize that Lil' Wayne said "the sky is the limit" before ANYONE ELSE IN HISTORY.

Sweet Jesus, tell me my sarcasm detector is broken.

The Penguins were always a big WTF...and a pointless one too.Although 5000 years later, a grown-up Etna would be pretty hawt.
Megadanxzero @ Sep 6th 2008 6:40AM
Err... She was 2000 to begin with, she's not gonna look any older. Besides, she's hawt already ;3
Anyway, a PSP game worth owning? What has the world come to!?
Lijik @ Sep 6th 2008 9:43AM
There's BEEN PSP games worth owning.
Every current handheld and console system has at least ONE game worth owning.
It's not that big of a deal. The world is not coming to an end.

There were PSP games worth owning day 1. Ridge Racer, Wipeout Pure, Twisted Metal Head On, and Lumines spring immediately to mind.
Pedobear @ Sep 6th 2008 6:30PM
I prefer a loli etna.

They finally found a platform on which those graphics are acceptable.

shut up. thanks.
Soapyshoes @ Sep 5th 2008 9:55PM
Dood!
Immortal Technique PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Sep 5th 2008 10:09PM
I hope this game comes stateside sooner rather than later.
Resistance PSP, Patapon 2 and this are about all I have to look forward to.
Waqman @ Sep 5th 2008 11:02PM
Shit thats one of the best fucking ideas I've heard in awhile.....I hope we get a PSN version.
PyrosNine @ Sep 5th 2008 11:22PM
Huh. I notice the scarf looks a bit like Laharl's...wonder if this is about Laharl's time as a prinny?
OR is it about some generic prinny who wears a scarf to look cool and stand out?
SpikeDelight @ Sep 6th 2008 12:07AM
Very clever title.
Muskie @ Sep 6th 2008 12:12AM
DOOOOOOD! This is gonna be like, the best game Ever, Dood! Everything's better with Penguins, as they say. :P

You appear to receive 1000 lives, but are encouraged to blow yourself up repeatedly.
fred @ Sep 6th 2008 10:49PM
If only real life was set up as such.
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Sep 6th 2008 5:22AM
I eagerly await this game, dood.
Evan @ Sep 6th 2008 8:33AM
Too bad it's for the PSP. I think Disgaea's art style would really shine in the form of high-definition 2D sprites, in a 1080P PS3 side-scroller.
Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Sep 6th 2008 10:14AM
Look at ANY thread about Disgaea 3...
While you and I would love having a game like this on a big screen, majority of other people would bitch about it because it's either PS2 graphics or "super gay ass SNES game."
Llama_egg @ Sep 6th 2008 12:45PM
Sad thing is, Sheppy is right D:
Megadanxzero @ Sep 6th 2008 7:38PM
Well if Disgaea 3 HAD HD sprites then I'm sure people would love it, but it still looks like a DS game. I wouldn't care if they hadn't had the fucking nerve to say the PS2 didn't have the graphical power or disk space to support it (After all I'm playing the first one right now, and I don't care), but WHAT!? ARE THEY INSANE!? Now I refuse to like it because that's just a blatant fucking lie.
Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Sep 7th 2008 3:13AM
Well, truth be told, if you think ANY of these look like DS sprites, you're a moron beyond compare. Many reviews have even said seeing these sprites in HD on PS3 is a graphical highlight whereas the ENVIRONMENT is where the graphics fall flat.
But also, if you take a LOOK at the actual statements in regards to "why PS3" instead of finding a word to base your entire arguement around, you'd actually listen to reason. Take, as an example, how in the original Disgaea, often using a spell would pause the action while the system quickly loaded the spell. That wasn't an effect, it was a weakness of PS2. This situation and the limited number of sprites shown on the screen due to the limits on the hardware was actually worse on Disgaea 2. After all, you likely didn't notice animation frames were often cut in half when a large variety of monsters appeared on the screen at once. Nor did you likely notice the frequency in which animations and spell effects loaded increased with Disgaea 2.
So their point, as it stood, is that they had to sacrifice often making Disgaea 1&2 in what they wanted to do and what PS2's limited memory would allow. BUUUUUUUT, imagine if there was some system out there. One which, instead of having 32MB of ram which is a huge problem for them, it had 256MB easily accessable, and an additional 256MB with some programming gurus. Now imagine for a moment that you could EASILY gain access to 8 times more memory and still be within the same fanbase. After all, Nippon Ichi is not large enough to serve everyone. Eventually a leap forward must be made, so why NOT with Disgaea 3?
The only viable arguement against the movement is that NIS had somehow turned away from PS2 that has had steadily decreasing returns on every title the drop. But even THAT is fucking bullshit as Ar Tonelica 2 is due out from them in December. In other words, your entire arguement is shit.
Josh @ Sep 7th 2008 4:00PM
Could just be bad programming.
Pedobear @ Sep 6th 2008 6:30PM
Watching that video makes me want to continue playing through the first one.
