One title is an action RPG with 3D graphics and full polygons. This title is being made by the Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? group. We’ll hear more about this title in a month.

Nippon Ichi formally announced Phantom Brave Portable and, yes, it’s another port of Phantom Brave.

A long time ago, in a castle far, far away…

Etna’s panties get stolen by the Great Demon Thief and it is your job as the one Prinny with the shiny red scarf to boldly go where no Prinny has gone before.

Etna sent out her Prinnies to collect desserts in Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero. In the sequel, Prinny 2: Dawn of the Great Pantsu War your mission is to recover Etna’s stolen underwear.

Remember that Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero DLC? Nippon Ichi is giving out the first episode for free on the PlayStation Store in Japan now. The bonus content lets players explore Prinny explore a castle of a great demon king and fight with cheerful Flonne at the end of the level.   In [...]

What does Nippon Ichi and Italian design company Diesel have in common? Both of them sell stuff in PlayStation Home.   PlayStation Home explorers in Japan can decorate their virtual space with dot art statues (read: sprites made to look 3D) of Nippon Ichi characters and Prinnies. Four objects go on sale tomorrow: dot art [...]

NIS America wasn’t kidding when they said Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? is hard. Their first platformer has insidious level design akin to an NES Mega Man game. Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? doesn’t have deadly spikes, but it has plenty of pits Prinny needs to leap over. Miss a jump [...]

I started playing the Japanese version of Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero over the weekend and instinctually I chopped everything in my path with Prinny’s two swords. Prinny’s basic sword flurry hits enemies in front and in back since the sword attack has frames where Prinny winds up. However, the backslash can only [...]

Nippon Ichi’s monthly Disgaea 3 downloadable content is just one example of how they love crossing their franchises together. And they aren’t about to miss an opportunity to bring the hero Prinny from Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? into Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. On November 28, the powerful Prinny with a red [...]

Like we reported in September, NIS America will publish Prinny and it’s getting an equally awesome name here. In North America the game will be known as Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and it’s scheduled to come out on February 17, around three months after the Japanese release which comes out later this [...]

Five facts that you may not know about Prinny: Is It OK If I’m the Protagonist:   1.) Prinny can commander vehicles Metal Slug style. In the demo there is a tank that shoots a giant laser beam. This crab-like laser shooting ship looks like it has a faster fire rate. Seeing the hero Prinny [...]

I thought the downloadable demo Prinny demo would be the only highlight of today’s PlayStation Store update in Japan. Volcynika kindly let us know (thanks!!) Japan’s PlayStation Store is filled to the brim with demos. Fire up your Japanese PSN account to try out Eternal Sonata, X-Edge (aka Cross Edge), Prinny, and Yggdra Union. Prinny: [...]

When I spoke with Jack Niida, Marketing Manager at NIS America, about Disgaea DS and Rhapsody I snuck in a question about the status of Prinny: Ore ga Shujinkou de Iinsuka (Prinny: Is It OK if I’m the Protagonist) since it was a hot topic here.   Just so you know, many Siliconera readers are [...]

With no official word from NIS America we don’t know if Prinny: Is it OK if I’m the Protagonist will come out anywhere aside from Japan. Chances seem good, but why wait for a press release? The freshly opened home page for Prinny notes a downloadable demo will spread via Japan’s PlayStation Store on September [...]

After being an icon in the Disgaea series, Nippon Ichi (thanks for the heads up Andres!!) is making a game primarily about Prinnies and it isn’t a strategy RPG. Prinny: Ore ga Shujinkou de Iinsuka? (Prinny: Is it OK if I’m the Protagonist?) is a 2D action game (!) with very familiar sprites. You can [...]
