Are you ready for some hilarious Japanese antics? The intro sequence for Disgaea 3, which releases in Japan this month, has been found online and it's certainly ... amusing. The strategy RPG series is well known for its cutesy anime art and this video has buckets of the stuff. Not to mention a J-pop tune to go along with it.
There's no release date for the game outside of Japan, so chances are you might have to import this one. Having said that, Disgaea 1 and 2 for PS2 both made it to America and Europe, but they did take over 6 months to do so.

Was that a Power Rangers pose sequence near the end?
I trained too much in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and bored myself xP. I wasn't sure if I should be creating characters or just going though the storyline.

Afternoon of Darkness has me hooked to Disgaea, this coming to the PS3 gives me even more reason to buy a PS3 soon! Especially if 3 makes it to the states.

I really hope this makes it to the English part of the world. (EU/NA) Disgaea 1 and 2 were 2 of my top 10 favorite games of all time.
Shinning Force 1 and 2 were also in there, same with FF1, Heroes of might and magic 3, 4, 5 games and Might and Magic 4/5 (world of Xeen), Dragon Warrior 4 is in there too, and can't forget "football" on Atari.

i'm sure this will, eventually, make it over to america. however, there's going to have to be tons of translation and voice work to do, though. there was a lot of it in the previous two games and the intro movie to this makes it look like it's got a cast of thousands.

Disgea has a huge fan base in America, of course this will be released over here. The translations always take way too long, but they are filled with so much humor and inuendo, they are worth the wait. There has also been censorship of Christian graphic elements that were deemed potentially offensive to western eyes. Hopefully that will no longer be an issue and we can look forward to the game exactly the way it was designed.
