Prinny : Can I really be the hero?! Disgaea 3 DLC -!?

I... really, Nippon Ichi Software? Really?

I really hope this isn't the only update for Disgaea 3 this month. It's not that I don't enjoy a prinny with a red muffler, it's just... not all that spectacular to just get a sprite change for a prinny as a new character. Hmn. Well, anyway. Today was the release date for Prinny : Can I Really Be the Hero!!? in Japan.

To commemorate the release, the prinny will be the DLC content for this month! Uh, yay! More on this when... I find out more!
Last month's was a bit predictable and then... not so much. So we'll see.

Also, a new trading card game was released in Japan for Disgaea! It features art from Disgaea 1 ~ Disgaea 3.

♥! I was a bit disappointed when I saw the cover of the book to only be the girls. I absolutely love the girl characters in this game, but I really wish there was more art of the boys (they are the main, main characters!) I was pleasantly surprised to see this pullout. It is fabulous.

Here are some other samples of the inside art.



Thank you Gerald for your scans! I need to purchase this book ASAP and see what it's about.

Disgaea 3 Novelization

Yeah, I think it's another novelization for the game. I believe it's taken from Almaz's point of view. Judging from the cover, people might think Disgaea 3 is a harem game, which I'm totally okay with.

RosenQueen has Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice up for preorder right now. Go check it out. There's a couple of sets, if you're looking for some of the goodies that came with the Japanese version, here's your chance to get them! I love the Digital Media Disc, Hi-Res art is always a plus~

Thank you, Nenena!

There's a couple of interesting notes to be taken about this article. For one, it features four people who have played the game and how they rank some of the starting classes. All players enjoyed using Mao, and only one player seemed to dislike using Almaz. Both are ranked S on average.

(It seems that no one wants to use male healers... ah, the fate of male healers will forever be known as such... )

My favorite part of this article is the beginning battle of the game.
Almaz interrupts an argument between Mao and Raspberyl, like any good hero should-... but he's only level 1.

Level 1.

Rozalin I could understand being level one.
But you, Almaz? Did you ever pick up a sword before going to the Netherworld?!

I... sigh. Anyway, he's a neutral character in the battle, but you're free to whack him upside the head to show him who's boss.

Two days left! How exciting. Not only is Disgaea 3 coming out, but so is Devil May Cry 4 and Super Smash Brothers Brawl in Japan! That's- that's a pretty scary line-up. Could this be the year of the Playstation 3? Who knows, who knows.
