Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?

This is not a plea for help but rather the title of NIS and Acquire's PSP action puzzler.

Pesky meddlesome heroes are invading the subterranean kingdom of Badman--who NIS describe as a "helpless, whiny-ass loser pansy b**** underground Overlord"--and you, the God of Destruction, must fend them off to crush all hopes of peace. Of course.

Your God of Destruction wields a humble pickaxe, with which he digs to connect caverns and play god with their ecosystems. Follow the food chain and manage soil types to rear giant monsters to fight invading heroes but keep a balance or your army eats itself.

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? arrives on PSP this July, with a downloadable demo coming "soon" to the PlayStation Network.

Nippon Ichi's side-scrolling PSP action game Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? will arrive in North America on February 17, subsidiary NIS America revealed today.

Featuring the disposable Prinny characters from the Nippon Ichi strategy-RPG series Disgaea, the explosive dood-exclaiming penguin-things take center stage as they fight through the Netherworld in the developer's first action title.

One hit equals death in the game, which is described as "the toughest action sidescroller," though players are given a total of 1000 lives to beat it.

In addition to the above screenshots, some artwork was released.

Nippon Ichi announced today that it intends to publish its popular alternative strategy RPG Disgaea 3 (PS3) in North America, tentatively scheduled for an August release.

The newest incarnation of the series features new gameplay updates including the Geo Block, which grants players the ability to alter battlefield terrain to reach previously inaccessible areas. Similar to previous Disgaea titles, the game is aimed at hardcore strategy RPG fans, featuring ridiculous level caps and sprawling, multi-level dungeons.

Disgaea 3 marks the series' first appearance on a next-generation console, and will be localized by the company's North American branch, NIS America.
