This game needs copious amounts of extra Axel. Yes or Yes?AKUTARE. A. KU. TA. RE.
Also, I'm not sure portable versions of games I already have are worth going out to buy new systems...
AKUTARE. A. KU. TA. RE.Yes, yes, but I call him Axel. Besides, he's still awesome enough to get his ass kicked multiple times and not give up!
Classic Dungeon for the PSP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5ZPTqkUkg0)
You play as this every-day soon-to-become hero called Soma who just explored a cave with his friend Pudding. They later visit an open-field island where they meet the white hair magic girl Deathpina.
It does look like a dungeon crawler at first, but it doesn't lock you to grids at all. It's completely free-roaming and you can also jump and slash with your weapon without any wait in-between attacks. You can at anytime switch between Modern and Retro style music in the Settings.
The humor and visual style of the game is similar to Half Minute Hero and 3D Dot Heroes. Since it's made by Nippon Ichi, it has a bit Disgaea things here and there. The game also has a edit mode similar to 3D Dot Heroes, where you can create any kind of character you like. ^^
The song between 1:15 and 2:14 in the trailer... O^O
The ocarina/flute tunes makes my heart warm and happy~ >oo<
FINALLY, Nippon Ichi makes something besides the same old tired Disgaea drivel. It was starting to get kind of annoying.
And then there's Zettai Hero Project~

I've still never beaten any of their games. Or gotten half-way through... or probably even 1/4th the way throughHoly Invasion Of Privacy Badman doesn't take long to beat.
and the prisoner spanking game.
<- You mean the one in my avatar~? :3Personally, I was wondering where you had to massage her.
Looks like we'll be seeing Prinny 2 stateside to give us something to do while Japan's enjoying Disgaea 4. Although Axel may be a turn-off for some.. Maybe. Nice -not- to see the Laharl, Etna, and what's her face combo for a change. But then again, those cards..We're gonna see them as cameos and playable characters eventually.
Apparently D4 will feature some sort of multiplayer.
You can actually invade a friend's world.
Though the main character looks more like a vampire than a demon, but that's alright!
It'll be out in Europe in November on the PSN.Wai-wai-wait!

Take Control of an Undead Soldier in Nippon Ichi's New PS3 Action RPGWitch named Metallica, who wars with another witch for world domination in a hack and slash game? Sounds [tornado fang]ing AWESOME.
Lots of new details on The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers.
7hr 6m ago / Anoop Gantayat
Sokuho has provided a detailed summary of Dengeki PlayStation's reveal article for Nippon Ichi's new PS3 title The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers, filling in some of the blanks from our earlier report.
First up, some clarification about the characters. As we reported earlier, the main character is a witch named Metallica. You don't control her, though. You control a soldier named "Hyakkihei," a name that translates to Hundred Cavalryman or Soldiers. The Hyakkihei is actually one of 100 Hyakkihei soldiers. Metallica can only physically summon the one, though. The others are used for only brief periods -- see below for details.
The story of The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers is set in a forest where a war is being fought between the beautiful marsh witch and the ugly forest witch. One day, the marsh witch finds the legendary Hiyakkihei, and summons it into battle.
The marsh witch is Metallica, the title witch (she's also the character that Nippon Ichi showed when teasing the game at an Akihabara event a month back). She hopes to get rid of her long time rival, the forest witch, and fill the world with marshland.
The Hyakkihei soldier has a small frame but wields a large sword. It has great power but has lost most of its ability to cast magic. It's also lost the notion of morality and will do brutal things in battle. It seems that it does not fully accept Metallica as its master.
Developed by the Prinny team, The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers is an action RPG that's played from an overhead perspective. Set in an expansive and seamlessly connected world, you'll face off against enemies directly in hack-and-slash style gameplay.
Dengeki details five gameplay systems:
GIGAcal
Metallica must use magic power to call out the Hyakkihei soldier. When this depletes, you restore it by eating, intaking GIGAcal (hint... the "cal" probably is meant to be like calories).
Field
Your base of operations is Metallica's house. Leave the house, and a massive world will expand around you. Its full of enemies and gimmicks that must be solved. You can expand the world by wiping the darkness from areas that are engulfed in darkness, although it appears that this requires a considerable amount of GIGAcal.
Call Upon the Other Hyakkihei Soldiers
You can call upon the 99 other Hyakkihei soldiers for brief periods. One example is Tochika, which sends out slime-like creatures into the surroundings.
Subquests
Take on quests from residents. You can also refuse requests and can even attack residents if you feel like it.
Boss Battles, Special Attacks
You'll face off against giant bosses, making use of a variety of special attacks, some associated with particular Hyakkihei soldiers.
Nippon Ichi CEO Shohei Shinkawa mentioned a number of additional points in an interview with the magazine.
* They're aiming for a refreshing, smooth action feel. They're also aiming to balance the game so its difficulty isn't too high.
* The game is stage based, although once you've cleared a stage you can go back to it and find paths to new stages.
* Once you've exited Metallica's home, you can't return back until you've reached a save point. If you die along the way, you'll lose the items that you've collected (this appears to be where the earlier reports of dungeon crawler elements came from)
* The Hyakkihei soldier is undead, so there is no game over.
* Using the 99 other Hyakkihei soldiers is a key to strategy.
* The game's world is seamless -- there's no loading even when going into a town.
* The world residents have tribe-level parameters. If one particular tribe hates you, they will treat you like an enemy.
* The game's main story will have a play time of around 30 hours. This does not include sub quests and other elements.
* There will be item collection and item synthesis components.
* The main Hyakkihei soldier is meant to be the player's in-game self, so he won't talk. In terms of story, Metallica is the central figure.
* The game's monsters are being designed by the Prinny development staff.
* They're considering releasing download content.
The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers is due for release in Spring 2012. It will be released in standard and limited forms. The limited version includes a visual book, a soundtrack CD, and a Metallica Nendoroid Puchi figure with removable hat.

So Etna gets little to no changes while Laharl's shorts grow into pants and Flonne gets a ribbon for one of her legs.. Whu? Then that means D2 must be either a direct sequel or a remake of the first game, but I liked the cartoony look the characters originally had, now they sorta lost that charm.You continue to baffle me, little pal.
Here's hoping it's a sequel, but they sure do love porting the same game repeatedly. How many times have they done that with Disgaea?

sonic has green eyesRemember the first time you found out Mega Man's eyes never change colors?
Remember when his eyes did change because of the choice of artists for different official illustrations? 8DLike as he changed colors or just from artist to artist?

Mhm yup~ :cookie: (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/01/16/meet-laharl-chan-queen-of-the-netherworld/)
..So this turns out to be an alternate universe where Disgaea is a game series and Laharl winds up in a fan's body? Sounds like they took the Gunpla Builders route.wat

I dunno guys, Etna's hair color seems a tad bit off here (2P version I guess). ^^;
