Disgaea developer Nippon Ichi has confirmed they are working on a Playstation 4 title. They have announced it at the NISA press event. No further details were given but they hinted we should expect more details to be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show.


Second Trailer Demon Gaze and release date
NIS America revealed the second trailer for the dungeon RPG Demon Gaze. Furthermore, they revealed that Demon Gaze releases on April 22 in North America and April 25 in Europe. Here is a description of the game: Demon Gaze takes place thousands of years after the events of its predecessor, Students of the Round, which was created by the same developer. In the game, the player controls Oz, a young man that possess the power of a magic eye capable of sealing demons. The gameplay is split between venturing into dungeons and spending time at the inn where players can build relationships with non-player characters or spend the money they have earned in the dungeons.

Here is the trailer you were looking for :



In the trailer they show some interesting characters you are going to meet and the ability to create new characters who are joining you in your quest. I think this game is going to be covered by our own kaichou. So look forward to it.

  • Concerts: Boost stats and put on concerts. Increase the CPUs’ shares by putting on concerts. Choose a song, outfit, and master the stage directions to throw fans into a frenzy!
  • Viewer: Tap the screen and the characters will react! Sure, you can have some private time with the Neptunia cast and tap them in various areas, but they’ll get pissed if you tap them the wrong way!
