Nippon Ichi reveals Disgaea Infinite visual novel

by Griffin McElroy { Sep 18th 2009 at 4:45PM }

Nippon Ichi continues to crank out announcements for its new upcoming games -- though calling this one a "game" might be a bit of a stretch. Though Disgaea Infinite shares a name, setting and characters with the core Disgaea series, it's far from a strategy-RPG title. In fact, this installment is a PSP visual novel, starring a Prinny who's tasked with solving a murder by possessing other characters and reading their minds.

As you might be able to tell from the above description (and the trailer posted after the break), it's shaping up to be bizarre -- even by Disgaea's typically weird standards. Regardless, Japanese Prinny enthusiasts can grab the game Nov. 1 on the PSN for 2,500 yen ($27).

Can we get this in English? I like Disgaea.

If NIS has their way, we'll see it in English (though admittedly probably as a PSN-only release).
If SCEA has their way, they'll set us both on fire for even suggesting that we want this.

Do you bring out the 'not really a game' when it comes to Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice, mister Joystiq man?

Don't be silly, double standards are a staple of the Internet.

I love the Disgaea franchise (Story/Characters/etc), but I'm not an SRPG fan.

So this sounds like a potentially awesome game. English please!

I see that this is like Infinite Loop with Disgaea characters with less drama and more comedy. I randomly found the demo of that game in the JPN PSN and downloaded it because of it being "Nippon Ichi".

Here's a video of Infinite Loop if anyone's wondering..
