Hey, guys! 'Too hard' is the new 'Too easy' when it comes to casual games!

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I guess they've ported Disgaea to every platform possible; they need to portify something else. They should make it a Phantom series double-pack, though I suppose there's less profit potential there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they slapped Disgeaa ports on Wii. Hell they could do Disgaea 3 on Wii, the only thing that was HD about that games was the Character portraits. Besides that the only other addition to the game was widesreen support. It would probably look better at 480p with 16:9 to be honest. 2D art never scales up well.

I'm gonna bite and get this game. It will cost absolutely nothing to make/port and will be pure profit for NIS. Then, they'll be able to fund an original Wii SRPG, which will make the next Wii Fire Emblem wait a lot more bearable.

Bring it on, Nippon Ichi.

Horrible game, party members were all spirits that could only last a certain number of turns in battle which basically forced you to constantly micromanage your forces just to finish even the easiest of levels.

I see that the shovelware is going to keep on comming.

They should have warning signs for these kind of games: "not for hardly core".

@Flagship

It sounds like the SRPG genre isn't for you. One of the staples of the genre is usually micromanagement to be honest.
