IGN: Following a retail leak earlier this week, Nippon Ichi has started speaking officially about Prinny: Ore ga Shuujinkou de Iinsuka?.

This new PSP title, whose name translates roughly to Prinny: Is it Okay if I'm the Main Character?, stars Prinny, a mascot of sorts from the Disgaea strategy series. This isn't a strategy game, though. Nippon Ichi describes it as its first action game. The title will feature 2D side scrolling action with the promise of lots of replay value.

The storyline hints that the game will feature Disgaea cameos other than just Prinny. Etona, Prinny's master and also a Disgaea character, has sent Prinny off to find the ultimate sweets. Standing in Prinny's way are some tough demons!

While not mentioned in Nippon Ichi's official announcement, the retailer report from earlier in the week mentioned that the game will make use of the PSP's wireless functionality. Players will be able to record their play sessions and send them to friends. In addition, Nippon Ichi plans on offering maps and bosses as downloads.

Also mentioned by the retailer is a pre-order bonus. Nippon Ichi will give pre-orderers (this is for Japan only at the moment) an original soundtrack CD created by Disgaea series composer Tenpei Sato. The CD will include vocal tracks.

Nipon Ichi has opened up a teaser website for the game with a peculiar flash movie. The full site will open up on September 5.

As for the final game, a Japanese release is set for November 20.

Prinny love! <3

That's how the katakana for her name reads. I'm guessing the translator wasn't really familiar with how it was translated.

I know that, it just amuses me when someone writing an article on a game isn't actually familiar with it.

So I've had this video on the site playing forever, does a flash game ever come from this or am I looking in the wrong place? There's a prinny plushie and a lot of annoying sounds so far.

I hope Disgaea PSP sold well enough in the US to justify a localization

This coming from someone who didn't buy it :p

Only the cell phone game didn't make it, all other Disgaea games and such have.

The world needs more of these kinds of games.

A game with this premise wouldn't make it on any corporate standards.

Didn't they just say that it isn't a strategy game? It's an action game.

It looks cool, and the premise sounds pretty fun.
I'm hoping NISA will pick it up for localization. There is never enough Disgaea for me (except for that aborption of the anime).

So you can't jump in this game, right? Otherwise you'd explode when you hit the ground.

I'm pretty sure Prinnies can jump :lol :lol (I remember them jumping during special attacks in the first game, maybe.)

Maybe it just depends on how they land, aka, not on their feet.

Doesn't really matter if it's a strategy game or not does it?

True, this is like when CapCom made it " megaton" that SFI would be on PSN, ofcourse we wanted 3rd Strike :(

companies make shitty decisions.

Hope this gets localized. If not I might import it. It would surely tax my noobie Japanese language skills but at that point I could call it a learning experience! :D
