New Disgaea 3 screenshots from Nippon Ichi

Sony PlayStation 3 owners in Japan are set to receive Nippon Ichi‘s Disgaea 3 in January of 2008, heralding the debut of the popular strategy RPG franchise on a next-generation platform. We’ve caught some new Disgaea 3 screenshots for you and they look pretty sweet.

Those who have had a casual brush with Nippon Ichi games may point out that Disgaea 3‘s graphics aren’t too far along from what we’ve seen in Disgaea 2, and to some extent they may be right. But if you ask those who’ve been immersed in the NIS universe before, they’ll tell you that there are some nice improvements such as high-resolution backgrounds among other subtle touches.

Still, we all know that Nippon Ichi titles have always been gameplay-oriented and that’s a tradition that Disgaea 3 is looking ready to continue proudly. Most of the familiar battle and customization elements that fans have come to love will still be there, but new additions have been announced and we know that we’ll be seeing two-level tosses, demon morphing and attribute customization soon enough. Prepare to lose some sleep over 100+ gameplay hours by the time Disgaea 3 hits American shores.
