Feel like an overlord with Amazon’s Disgaea Deal of the Day

Never played Disgaea? Come right this way! Amazon wants to introduce you to the series the best way it knows how, by making every Disgaea game released so far part of it’s March 9, 2011 video game Deal of the Day.

Gamertell Exclusive: NISA Press Event: Holy Drunken Shenanigans, Badman!

NISA (Nippon Ichi Software of America) was kind enough to invite Gamertell to attend its Holy Drunken Shenanigans, Badman! event that was held at the Zebulon Cafe in San Francisco, California on May 7, 2009. Inside, there was food, drinks, and video game fun to be had by all.

Siliconera broke the news today, announced that the Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories Portable will be on the PSP in Japan on March 26, 2009. The game is going to be getting new content, though it hasn’t really been revealed yet. New characters and scenarios will definitely be included.

There hasn’t been any announcement from NIS America as to whether or not the PSP version of Disgaea 2 will be released overseas, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was…
