Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded Announced for the Nintendo Switch

I always thought it was strange that they didn't follow up the Phantom Brave PC port with the rest.
Man, I loved the first one. It felt like a nice take on the Ghosts and Goblins formula. I am not sure if I want to face the last boss on the first one again though. I still remember how much I had to mash that damn square button.
Really? Damn. Nelson Mandela must be fucking with me again. I guess I confused it with the PSP.
My first thought as well.
I'm honestly surprised this wasn't a PS4 exclusive.
:(
I don't get the s because it's true. :p
Being the only handheld on market means it has to.
Count me in! We never got the La Pucelle PSP port with the additional content so La Pucelle definitely needs a rerelease. Phantom Brave is also the only NIS SPRG I played that I liked so gib it to me on Switch too.
Though I've only played Disgaea 1 and Phantom Brave :p
I tried to play Disgaea 3 on the Vita but I just couldn't get into the games tongue in cheek premise.
Don't know why you're surprised. NIS isn't Atlus. They've put plenty of stuff on the Switch so far.
I was always curious about this series. Love the sprite work but I hope the gameplay is good.
I don't think NISA is ever going to do a PS exclusive again considering their recent mentions about how Sony is abandoning middle-tier titles in favor of AAA games. I'm pretty sure their new focus will be the Switch from now on.

la pucelle is weird because it was one of the pre-nisa nis releases. pieces, jigsaw madness, rhapsody, la pucelle, and the first disgaea were all done by other publishers. iirc, la pucelle was censored on ps2 with religious content being removed from the western version. not sure how that affected the localization. and then la pucelle was rereleased on ps3 despite the psp version being made years earlier. there's probably no one who really cares about that game in particular at this stage to put in the work to get the english assets and also localize the extra content, in addition to porting.
soul nomad would be easier. phantom brave would actually be the easiest, but that thing's been ported everywhere already. not sure a switch port is necessary when it bombed on wii and psp.
and disgaea 3 is the worst one of the franchise that i've played (didn't touch disgaea d2 or disgaea 5). the humor comes solely from the idea of it being opposite day and the joke is exhausted by the end of explanation of what the joke is.
I recall having a great difficulty on that boss (Chefbot 9000 I imagine).
Looking online on videos fighting it, seems like it's body had a much more generous hurt box than you first think.
Nice. The first game was fantastic.
However, it was the only game ever for me in which I got stuck on the end boss and was never able to beat it.
I never played the second game—I recall it being considered a significant step down.

YES! Always wanted to play this game but sold my PSP before I did. Will definitely play it this time. Except when they fuck something up.
Prinny is one of those franchises I enjoyed a lot and was worth the experience yet I don't know if I would try it again... the difficulty level is absurd and I hope your gamepad is ready for some serious, hardware killer button mashing. Prinny 1 is great, Prinny 2 was definitely disappointing.
I can't remember if I ever played the second one, but the first game was a lot of fun. And yes, it's super hard. The final boss is especially difficult.
They're just hardcore platformers with some Disgaea humor in between levels.
The sequel is hot garbage, but the original is one of the most hardcore, best platformers ever made. The localization was phenomenal, too.
Actually, scratch that: Asagi Wars in Prinny 2 is worth the price of admission.

I've seen hell. I cleared the Baal DLC level and Li'l Asagi Comes Home.

NISA announces Void Terrarium (Switch/PS4) for the west, releases Summer 2020

I never felt I was missing out on anything (only Disgaea I've played was like 30 mins of some entry on the PS3), but note that it's a completely unforgiving platformer so frustration is part of the experience.
I played the first one and quite enjoyed it. My only complaint is that you had to button smash like crazy on the final boss (and other bosses too, but I remember that one tiring my fingers). I hope they remove the button smashing aspect, by limiting how many hits you can do per second. Though they probably would have to re-balance the whole game, so I doubt that'll happen.
Haven't got two the second one, probably out of fear of permanently damaging my PSP's buttons.

Oh, huh. I haven't really bought (...or at least played, I guess I bought a few more recently) NIS games in a loooong while after being a big fan back in the PSP and to a lesser extent the PS3 days.
I never played the sequel but I really liked the original. I managed to get to the final boss, and even lived to the point of the fight timing out but could never fit in enough damage to kill it! I distinctly remember thinking that I should go back to it after some rhythm games improved my ability to mash square, hah, but I never got around to trying. (EDIT: lmao, post above wasn't made when I loaded the page, guess it's good to see I wasn't alone!) Think it was even one of their games I eventually rebought for a few bucks on PSN with the idea of transferring my save data from PSP to Vita to do that...
Maybe I'll pick this up, then. It was probably one of the few things I played when I was younger that actually demanded that kind of harsh boss pattern memorization. Didn't really ever engage with that stuff much until Sekiro and Hollow Knight in the past few years. So I'm pretty tempted to see if it's actually as hard as I remember, or if I've actually gotten any better at that kind of thing since then...

Gameplay looks awesome and I love Prinnies. Preordered. (Still waiting for more Trails tho).
Do these have a fun goofy story like Disgaea games, or is it more focused on just sidescrolling action?

oh weird...thanks!
I was hoping for a Trails AO/Zero announcement for the west!
Oh boy, I got bad news, and it's ugly... literally:
The Prinnies don't look as bad... but dear lord Etna. O_o Here's the PSP original for comparison:
They literally pulled a Backbone!

This is one of those weird situations where two different parts of my past have smashed together. I worked on several Backbone titles under Konami such as the X-Men Arcade game and Simpsons game. This is not anything like that. The screens we have were more "proof of concept". We'll have more screenshots coming as we reveal more of the game and you can let me know then if you still feel that way but at present this is not by any means the final look.
