There’s no denying that Laharl is one of the coolest characters when it comes to the world of Disgaea. Or is it Etna? Or Pleinair? In any case, the Disgaea series is known for some of its more colorful characters, especially the recognizable flame-haired Etna. Imagine the surprise when Disgaea 2 introduced Adell and Rozalin, completely different protagonists that didn’t seem to fit in so well the original game’s attitude. With that, a new can of worms was opened, one that fans were eager to jump right into despite initial hestiancy. More Disgaea? Yes please! How could anyone pass that up? Disgaea 2 was released a few years ago now, but that very same experience has been brought to the ultra-portable PSP in the form of Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days. It packs all of the frustratingly hard gameplay, spunky characters, and brand-new story chapters into a package you can take along with you anywhere you want to escape to a world where Overlords run rampant and magical quests abound, with great finesse. This is a port you can be proud of.

The Tokyo Game Show is coming up soon, which is both exciting and depressing for English-speaking gamers, as many titles never find their way to our markets, or, if they do, often take years to do so. Despite this, it can be an exciting time nonetheless, and for fans of quirky, humorous Japanese strategy RPGs, you definitely have plenty to look forward to.

For one, Nippon Ichi will give details about their new downloadable game, Disgaea Infinite. Right now it isn’t certain whether this will be a PS3 or PSP game, as sources conflict, with some saying it will be portable and others saying it will be for the console only. Perhaps the game will be playable on both systems, in the way that PSOne Classics are.

With the recent release of Disgaea: Dark Hero Days for PSP, fans of the series have a lot to be be happy about.
