Prinny: Break Out Your Air Guitar

11/20/2008

I hope no one minds that I am posting about the same game twice in a row, but I have some exciting Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? developments. NIS released this image recently, which I stumbled across on Dengeki’s website. The picture shows the Prinny hero being confronted by an unknown individual. The caption reads, “This Sweet Hunter [REDACTED] will wipe the floor with ya!“ While the image may be mosaic-ed, I have a pretty good guess who it is: ASAGI!

It began to dawn on me: how pissed would Asagi be to find out that a NIS game was created with a lowly Prinny as its main character? The answer, of course, is extremely. Judging by the quote, it sounds like Asagi is taking it upon herself to beat the Prinny when it comes to hunting down Etna’s sweets – a worthy adversary indeed.

According to Dengeki, “by collecting certain items in the game, the player can unlock a new path which intersects with this mystery individual.“ What these items are is, of course, unknown.

If this doesn’t satisfy your desire for Prinny news, you may be interested to learn that as of November 28th, the Prinny hero from the upcoming PSP title is available as downloadable content for Makai Senki Disgaea 3 at the Japanese Playstation Store.

He comes complete with his trademark red scarf and patented hip attack. He is also free – get on this NISA! Total North American Disgaea 3 DLC = 0. Unacceptable!
