Nippon Ichi isn't done punishing you. Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? was a ball buster, and now a sequel is coming.
As far as details go, there isn't much. An article on Dengeki about the Japanese re-release of the original title at a new price (2,079 yen, or about $22) as a The Best Price title, and as a PlayStation Network download (1,500 yen, November 26th) dropped the news.
Really, all we have is a logo for the sequel, seen above. No release date or details or anything like that. Prinny looks to be flying forward, as if something blew up behind him. What's new, right? I wonder if this is going to be even harder than the original.

I can't wait for the sequel.
I agree, that review was horrid. It only focused on the negatives. Apparently hard games are bad? So Demon's souls sucks? I hope someone else reviews the sequel.
as much as i loved its charm and difficulty it was incredibly frustrating at times. some more difficulty levels and maybe some more moves and i would be set to buy the sequel tho.
Which reminds me, I really need to get around to trying the DLC for that game.
I assume you're asking whether it's legitimately hard, or just hard from bad controls? It's definitely closer to the former, though in all honesty I didn't think the game was THAT hard once you got accustomed to it. The biggest complaint I've seen about it is that you can't position your landing midjump (a la Ghouls and Ghosts), but all that really means is that every platform is perfectly positioned for your jumps, so the biggest hurdle for me was to get used to not double jumping when you don't need to.
When is D3 coming to PSP? Not like it can't handle it.
Uh, the PSP can't handle D3. It was on the PS3 because the PS2 couldn't handle it. Just because it has low quality graphics doesn't mean it requires minimal hardware to run, the game has some massive stages with tons of stuff going on all at once. It may not come close to pushing the PS3, but it's more than the PSP could handle.
Also the PSP could easily handle D3 with a bit of graphics tuning.
Obviously...
I didn't finish it because, sadly, I don't own a PSP right now. I only played it on a friend's PSP for a about half of the game. It was awesome. Hard as hell, but so satisfying.
Whoo.
