Nippon Ichi has announced that Disgaea 2 will be headed for the PSP on March 26th in Japan. The original Disgaea was one of my all-time favourite games, but I never got around to getting Disgaea 2 for my PS2. I don’t see why they wouldn’t/ couldn’t bring Disgaea 3 to the psp.

That and I’m happy they’re finally cutting back on the Disgaea 1 remakes . read more
