Unlike DLC in many other games, this update will cost absolutely nothing. Free. Hopefully, NIS America will be just as generous when this title eventually makes its way stateside.

Disgaea 3 getting free DLC in Japan
Unlike DLC in many other games, this update will cost absolutely nothing. Free. Hopefully, NIS America will be just as generous when this title eventually makes its way stateside.
PS2 not powerful enough to handle Disgaea 3
"It's simply because PS2 lacks the processing power and memory capacity to support Disgaea 3," Jack told Joystiq. "PS2 could not load the same amount of data on to memory and process it like the PS3; therefore, we decided to develop it for the next-gen platform." He added that "the character sprites for Disgaea 3 take 3~4 times the amount of labor to create compared to Disgaea 2," and the team is "doing our best to improve the sprites."
Regardless of the fidelity of the graphics, there's something truly charming about this upcoming strategy release. The series' trademark humor certainly goes a long way in compensating for any visual shortcomings.
Disgaea 3 coming to America this August
Disgaea 3 features new abilities which allows the player to alter the terrain during battles. No doubt we'll be seeing plenty of screenshots and videos over the coming months, but there have already been several Japanese videos which are worth a look. Be sure to check them out if you're curious.

We're excited to get this game in English already. We're sure the whole situation would have been oodles more entertaining if we understood it better.

Feeling a bit Japanese today? The Disgaea 3 intro knows how you feel
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.

Get ready for some sprites: new Disgaea 3 trailer
The reaction to the upcoming PS3-exclusive Disgaea 3 has been mixed. Some Nippon Ichi fans are glad to have yet another iteration of their famed SRPG series. However, others are critical of the game's lackluster visual presentation. At first glance, the game looks like a PS2 game -- albeit, running in HD. We love the flashier spell effects, but we wouldn't complain seeing higher resolution sprites. The style is impeccable, but the tech behind it simply doesn't follow suit.
PS3 fans with access to the Japanese PSN can also download this trailer to their PS3s through the Store.

We've also received word that a release date for the addictive strategy RPG has been set -- January 31, 2008 is the date for Japan, so if you're an import-savvy fellow, there's probably not much you'd miss besides the humorous dialogue. If you've played the previous games, you'd be able to figure this out. Just a few more throwing options and monster fusions. Oh, and be sure not to choke on any pretzels and die. The Netherworld would miss you.
Brand new Disgaea 3 trailer
SRPG fans have their faces contort in strange ways when they hear Disgaea. Some say this weird anomaly is called ... a smile?
This brand new trailer for this PS3 exclusive is a bit blurry, but shows some of the biggest special effects this "next gen" sequel features. It's weird seeing such small sprites being rendered on a system as powerful as the PS3 -- let's hope Nippon Ichi puts it to great use.
