Disgaea 3 for US, likely for Europe

Expect an announcement later in 08.

KOEI - European distributor for Nippon Ichi games - isn't ready to confirm that Disgaea 3 will be released in Europe, but the game is coming to the West.

Overnight we heard that the turn-based strategy game will be appearing in the USA this August, following its release in Japan last month.

We understand that nothing's signed and sealed for a European release, but given the strong links between KOEI and Nippon Ichi at executive level and the existing agreement between the two companies, the transition is a formality.

Disgaea 3 takes players for another round of the Netherworld, with a new cast but many of the same core themes and mechanics, while a few subtle new systems have been introduced to keep veterans happy, like Demon Change. Woo.

Wikipedia has lots more, so we won't pretend that's not where we're getting it.
