Gaming website, Gpara.com, recently added a large collection of screenshots for the upcoming Disgaea spin-off, "Prinny: Is It Okay If I Am The Main Character?". The screenshots show new enemies, levels and vehicles that players will defeat, traverse and use while playing as Disgaea's favourite penguin.

The PSP is seemingly something of an overlooked RPG behemoth, with RPG series such as Monster Hunter, Disgaea, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star swelling its RPG ranks to the point of bursting.
It's hard to pick a mere top 5 that people must own - but here's RPGSite's best picks, agonised over for some time.
I am a pretty big Strategy Fan, but I really dont like Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics. I waited so long to play FF Tactics and when I played it I was a little dissapointed at how it played. Jeanne D"Arc however is one of the best games i've ever played, along with other strategy games such as Vandal Hearts 1 (not 2, man that was horrible) and Stella Deus (overlooked, but an amazing game).
Maybe I should give FFT and Disgaea another go?
I have all on that list except for Disgaea. Maybe I'll pick it up since I agree with him on all the others that he has on that list.
Gamertell has posted an opinion piece that points out the similarities between characters in two companies' games.
From the article:
"As I began playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a Darklord, I was faced with an overwhelming sense of deja-vu. Not from the gameplay. No, the way the tower defense title is executed is quite original and refreshing. It was the characters.
The bratty, teenage girl with delusions of grandeur and the cute, unassuming monster minions seemed familiar somehow. After I finished the tutorial, it hit me. Mira and her tonberry servants seemed eerily similar to Etna and her prinny servants, from NIS' Disgaea and Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? games."
NISA breaks down the localization process, talks about upcoming games, and discusses job opportunities at this year's Anime Expo. 411mania was on hand to see what the publisher had to say.
