  • I have a long and lengthy history with Disgaea: Hour of Darkness in particular, mostly spanning over more than a year of me searching high and low to find a copy of it on store shelves (This was before the DS and PSP ports). But while it may be getting more and more impossible to find on store shelves in its original Playstation 2 format, you can from today pick up the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness experience on the Playstation 3 thanks to ATLUS USA releasing...

  • Last year saw the release of Disgaea: Netherworld Unbound, an android app by Nippon Ichi Software which would allow players to bring the Disgaea Item World experience with them wherever they went. Unfortunately while NIS America had intended to release it internationally, they dropped their plans in July this year due to technical reasons (See: NIS America Cancel Release of Disgaea on Android). Turns out that in Japan, the GREE service is seeing the release of another mobile game under the title of Disgaea Makai Collection – developed...

  • Alongside the announcement that Disgaea 3 Return will be a launch title for the Playstation Vita, they have also released a trailer for the game which can be seen above. Whilst for those who have played the game before will not see anything major in terms of gameplay changes (Which has been pretty much solid since Disgaea: Hour of Darkness), this trailer focuses on the small additions to the game to warrant the purchase of this Vita title – such as the inclusion of all...

  •   Unfortunately a slight ammendment  has been made to the Disgaea 3 DLC sale as mentioned in my article “Haven’t Played Disgaea 3 Yet? Now Available at a Cheaper Price!“. I mentioned in the previous article: “But I already have the game! Anything I can get instead?” - Congratulations for already making the decision to become a student at the Academy. Perhaps you have found your friends (Character Listing) lacking in uniqueness – perhaps you would like Zetta or a number of other characters to join...

  • Even with the remake of the PS3 game Disgaea 3 just having been announced, information is coming out rapidly about the new features and new characters. First of all I suppose the biggest announcement would be the inclusion of two new characters which from the sounds of it will be the focus of at least some of the new scenarios. Before going into this however – a quick look into the original storyline for those who have not played the game. This game takes place...

  • Disgaea 3 was the second game in the series that I picked up, whilst still looking for what was then the odd occasion where you could find Disgaea: Hour of Darkness on the PS2 on the shelves. Back then as it was an import item, it cost me something along the lines of $109 Australian Dollars which is quite a hefty sum for a game – but it was a game that I felt obliged to get. Since then, the game has been released in...

    Credits to Impress (GAME Watch) During the Akihabara Denkigai Festival today, Nippon Ichi Software CEO Sohei Niikawa took stage and hinted some information about their upcoming action RPG which is reportedly being undertaken by the same team responsible for the set of Prinny PSP games. Whilst they have not announced an intended console (Knowing them, either PS Vita or PS3), they have announced that it will have full polygon visuals (Yay or Nay depending on the person) and they also shared a piece of concept art...

  • Nippon Ichi Software Japan has recently unveiled the first trailer video of Disgaea 3 Return, a Playstation Vita title that after being nothing but a rumor over the last few weeks, was just unveiled as fact a day or so ago in Dengeki Playstation. You might dismiss the trailer at first as the first part contains nothing much except reused animated footage and some gameplay footage with text overlapped on it.

  • Disgaea 3 to Come Out on Playstation Vita

    Posted on August 10, 2011 | No Comments
    For the last few weeks there has been a rumor relating to a potential port of Disgaea 3 to the upcoming Playstation Vita console. When I originally reviewed the game in this websites infancy, I gave it a score of 4.75/5 [A] (My old review system as you can tell) so I was excited to hear that a worthy addition to the Disgaea series would receive a portable console port as its predecessors did. Whilst I was not expecting any official announcement, if at all until the...
