Here The DS version of Nippon Ichi&#8217;s SRPG&#8217;s looking all good and now confirmed for a June 26 release in Japan. No word yet on whether or not we&#8217;re going to see it in Europe, but computer says &#8220;yes&#8221;, so hopefully we&#8217;ll have a date soon.

Here. The DS version of Nippon Ichi&#8217;s strategy RPG will release on June 26, and will make it to America this summer. No news on a European release, but it&#8217;ll almost certainly happen at some point, as will Disgaea 3 for PS3, we&#8217;re privately assured.

		<description><![CDATA[
Says so here. The game&#8217;s been rated by the ERSB for PS3. Koei&#8217;s future-racer was originally planned as a PS3 exclusive launch title, but ended up releasing on Xbox 360 last year. It didn&#8217;t review so well, so there&#8217;s no giant reason to get excited, especially when this is just round the corner.

Speaking here, NIS&#8217;s Jack Niida has explained that the decision to publish turn-based strategy title Disgaea 3 on PS3 was taken because PS2 couldn&#8217;t handle the graphics.
&#8220;It&#8217;s simply because PS2 lacks the processing power and memory capacity to support Disgaea 3,&#8221; he said. &#8220;PS2 could not load the same amount of data on to memory [...]]]></description>
