Oh yeah, and here's the sequel.

Like we reported in September, NIS America will publish Prinny and it’s getting an equally awesome name here. In North America the game will be known as Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and it’s scheduled to come out on February 17, around three months after the Japanese release which comes out later this month. Unlike NIS America’s other games, Prinny is a side scrolling action game where you control a single Prinny, but have 1,000 extra Prinnies (read: lives) in your reserve. If that isn’t challenging enough Prinny has Hell Mode where every hit means instant death. In normal mode each Prinny has three life points. I think I’ll stick with normal mode for my first playthrough since NIS America describes Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? as “tough-as-nails�. I can’t wait for the challenge and spider crab tanks.



No bad can come of this.

Yes, the game is as advertised: tough as nails. The mechanics are limited, but if you learn how to exploit them, you'll be rewarded properly.


Also, there's one hilarious(and nigh full voice acted) plot to go with it.


The DLC, so far:


(Fallen Angel) Flonne's Castle: $3.99 | Difficulty: 4-5

Marona (Phantom Isle): $3.99 | Difficulty: 7

Asagi (Level): $3.99 | Difficulty: SUICIDE

    No the joke is the prinny wants to be a hero so it has Laharl's cape. Because no matter what he thinks, Laharl is a hero :P.

    They're called Prinnies.

    They're souls sent to penance in Celestia or The Netherworld.

    They explode when thrown, and can cause chain reactions.

    Considering that Disgaea PSP was already out, this is a good question - what the hell is wrong with you?

    This is exactly what I bought the PSP for on launch day, and it took a long time for the promise to be delivered - An original NIS developed (not published) game.

    Unfortunately, I sold my PSP after the better part of 2 years of it being primarily used for a paperweight.

    I wonder if there are places that you let you rent portable consoles.

    Wow those screens look gorgeous, and I do love side scrollers. However I've never played a disgaea game so I'm afraid it would just be weird and confusing to me. I'll keep an eye on this.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    You should import it. It'll be cheaper too.


    If I had only seen the vehicle screenshots for this I'd have thought it was Metal Slug: Prinny Edition.

    Well, she is really 1500 years old. That just happens to be barely pubescent (if that) for demons.

    I was hoping this would come here. Nifty. I imagine that at least some varieties of Prinny deaths in this game should result in explosions.

    Anybody who wants this but doesn't have a PSP: Used ones are quite abundant and relatively cheap ($80 or less for a PSP Fat), and it's not hard to find them in good condition. If a new one is too expensive, that's not a bad option.

    No, she's a picture of a child that someone who created the character has declared "oh, she's 1500 years old" so that people who masturbate over her don't have to be reminded that they're getting off on children.
