Just...just watch the trailer above. It's for the latest game from the team behind Disgaea: Z.H.P. ~Unlosing Ranger VS DarkDeath Evilman~. Damn skippy. See that? SEE THAT? That's the effing title of the game. It's stunning, and you should definitely see this game in action. My PSP is seriously stoked for this title.

Did you see the equipable weapons? Sexy-Jiggling boobs? Prinny hats? Fourth-wall breaking self-awareness that only Japanese developers seem capable of doing, this title is straight up awesome. In a presentation of the title last night NIS President and CEO Souhei Niikawa mentioned that this title is going to be the next big game from the Disgaea team, equal in customization and depth of play to their other hit. Another thing you'll notice is that the title seems to focus on the single character himself, as opposed to a squad of SRPG warriors. The video above is running in real time, and the goal for the game is to make an SRPG that, while turn-based, runs so incredibly fast that it might almost be an action game. Clearly, it's a unique take on the SRPG design front.

Seriously, this game is out-of-control awesome. Now let's just see if NIS can make this baby into their next star. See it one the PSP later this Fall.

Disgaea games are so wonderful. You got the name of the game wrong in the second sentence man. It's ZHP not ZHB. :)

Fair enough. But isn't there some way to combine the news into a few articles, or even one, instead of seven or eight?

ZHP, not ZHB.

Also, HOLY FUCKNUT. I don't even like grinding, but I may have to get this game just to encourage more of this crazy awesome shit.

I've avoided Disgaea for the sole fact that I blow at SRPGs. Though I knew the series was pretty crazy, I didn't expect that trailer to be so BAT-SHIT INSANE.

I need to find me a copy of Disgaea now....

So is this a Disgaea game or just a spinoff? And is it just me or is the announcer extremely enthusiastic about this game?

@NoMore looks like a whole new series.

I bet this is a port of Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku (Absolute Hero Modding Project).

--In fact, after watching the trailer and seeing the main character get his powers after the hero gets run over by a car, I guarantee it is. So no, this isn't a Disgaea main series game, it's a spinoff with Disgaea attached to it.

Okay, that does look pretty awesome. May just ease the sting of possibly not getting Prinny 2.

Also that is totally Junpei's voice actor. Awesome.

I don't know about this game, its predecessor, or whether what I just watched was one of the single largest pisstakes I have seen in my comparatively brief time on this planet, but I am amused none the less.

I hope this comes to DS or 3DS at some point.
I loved Disgaea even though I typically hate RPGs or the slow plodding gameplay of strategy games.
This, however, is how I started playing Disgaea once I could- by killing everything with a single ninja.
If the game is balanced to be played as such rather than have team tactics to think too much about, I'd be down. Especially because I love their style.

I could never have imagined seeing a game so obviously impossible to break into to the extent that I can feel the frustration seething inside me, yet I want to play it more than anything else after seeing that. Epic. Greatest trailer in the universe indeed.

could NIS now release Disgaea 3 on the PSP already?i think its safe to say thtat SRPGs work waaayyy better on portable consoles and the PSP almost seems like it was MADE for SRPGs.i just cant get enough of Disgaea 2:Dark Hero Days.Everyday I promise myself that i will start studying or atleast start playing Persona or Everybody Tennis or MGS, but everyday i find myself stuck for hours on the end in the item world!!

I loved Disgaea. And I remember seeing a Japanese-only trailer for this ages ago. In English, it only made me want this game more. :OD
