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. If you want to get technical, then almost every Disgaea game is reduced. Disgaea DS (DS) and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2) aren’t listed on the Deal of the Day page, but are marked down to $17.19 from $29.99 and $13.90 from $19.99, respectively. The PSP port of the original game’s on the Deal of the Day page though, so it’s still represented…
Gamertell Review: Disgaea Infinite for PSP
There are two things NIS America is known for – the Disgaea series and taking chances on eclectic games. With Disgaea Infinite, NIS America is combining the two to bring North American gamers a brand new Disgaea adventure that’s also a visual novel.
Visual novels are still a relatively new medium in the US and haven’t been embraced by the general public just yet, but NIS America is going about introducing them in a smart manner. The company’s first visual novel carries a budget price ($19.99) and features a cast of familiar characters from the beloved Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
Unravel an assassination attempt with Disgaea Infinite
NIS America is continuing to test the visual novel waters in North America. It’s first attempt was Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love for the PS2 and Wii, a game that was part visual novel, part dating sim and part strategic RPG. It’s next attempt is the PSP game Disgaea Infinite, which is now available for $19.99 in stores on UMDs and as a download through the PlayStation Store.
Disgaea Infinite stars a Prinny tasked with what initially seems like an impossible job. Someone attempted to assassinate Laharl, demonic overlord, and Laharl has picked a Prinny to find out who was behind the attempt
NIS America taking a chance on Disgaea Infinite
Visual novels still are a niche genre in North America, though games like Heileen, Lux-Pain and even Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor are helping to pave the way. So it’s kind of surprising to hear that NIS America is stepping up to release the Disgaea PSP visual novel Disgaea Infinite in English. But, the company is, and will have the visual novel starring Laharl, Etna, Flonne and lots of prinnies out in May, 2010.
In Disgaea Infinite, you follow a prinny who works for Laharl. This isn’t any ordinary prinny though, he is a prinny with a mission! Laharl was nearly assassinated by someone in his castle, and has tasked this particular prinny with finding out who wanted him dead. You have two special abilities to help accomplish this task, the ability to possess other, familiar Disgaea characters so you can know their inner-most secrets and the ability to turn back time…
