VERY LONG games
Longer than long cat games (is that possable)

The latest copy of Famitsu Weekly has confirmed that a DS version of Disgaea is in development, dubbed Disgaea DS: Prince, according to translators on AkaYuki.
The original title, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, was a cult tactical role-playing game developed by Nippon Ichi Software for the PlayStation 2 back in 2003.
Niche US distributor Altus (who else) brought the title to the west that very same year, but unfortunately it was largely overlooked despite winning a number of awards.

A PSP port was also released in Japan during 2006 and hit America and Europe the following year.

There's no word on whether the title will be merely a port or a new instalment in the franchise. Or even if Nippon Ichi Software will develop the game.

But Nao Zook of Nis Armerica (Nippon Ichi's own American branch) has recently stated his interest in making a DS version, so fingers crossed the handful of hardcore Japanese tactical RPG fans are still out there.

Looks like ill end up with cramp
