Nippon Ichi’s latest “dark fantasy” PS3 RPG is finally nearing release after having been delayed by over a year – Majo to Hyakkihei (The Witch & The Hundred Knights) is now belatedly due for a summer release.
In a sign of perhaps just how far behind the curve Nippon Ichi is these days, they say it will be their “first fully polygonal in-house title,” and it does look almost as if it belongs in this century (and certainly boasts nice artwork, mostly in the form of Bog Witch Metalica herself):
The Japanese edition is due on July 25th, whilst the US release is due in March of 2014, late enough to give PS4 titles a run for their money…

Hahahahaha, Looks pretty interesting though..
Woo, go Nippon Ichi! You've finally made a game that could pass as an early PS2 title, amazing progress, truly.
Huh. I assumed it had already gotten released and faded into obscurity.
i masturbate using the corner of nippon ichi game cases
this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case this case
Go Nippon Ichi, go!!
We trust you!
I expect that little knight will have a badass human form transformation with crazy amounts of damage power like laharl.
I'll be expecting more Nisa cameos then ever. NIPPON ICHI!
It's just me or she looks like Marisa Kirisame from Touhou?
It's the hat. And the mischievous personality.
Mischievous? Marisa is more to lazy...
Marisa? Lazy?
Dood (pun intended), Yukari is lazy, Reimu is sort of lazy, Meiling and Komachi are lazy.
Marisa is always trying to resolve incident and goes into all sorts of troubles.
Marisa may be a thief ok she's a huge thief but she's not lazy.
But you do know who Marisa is and what she looks like right?
Not even close ..
learn the difference
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Marisa_Kirisame
Zun designs are shit, the fan-made designs are the reason of why Touhou become popular.
The leitmotif of Zun designs are the hats for which he likes to masturbate.
Maybe 12:33 is talking about the fanon character instead of the original. Is it that hard to put 2 and 2 together?
Marisa demon form.
or was it Panty?
She does kind look like an older version of Marisa.
Welcome to Japan, where every fictional character looks the same.
sorry , that's american't
Oh sorry but HOW MANY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS DID YOU CREATE?
Geez people there is a limit to recreating the wheel...
Lilith from Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito?
Tweeny Witches..... That was a cool series.
triti
Its just ANOTHER 3d rpg... boring, they should have stuck whit crappy 2d those at least had personality
Explain what aspect of the 2D gave them personality beyond what3D is capable of. I'm actually curious what you think it is, because I feel the same, and yet haven't really figured out what it is. There really is no good reason beyond art direction.
This is the greatest PS1 game I've ever seen.
PS1..? I thought this was for the PC!
Boy I sure hope this isn't one of those games where you have to GRIND OUT THE ASS in order to progress!! And if it is, I hope the story is good! I won't grind just for quirky bullshit like it was in many of the Diagaea games!
You don't need to grind at all in Disgaea. You just need to be smart and not use more characters than what you can reliably level.
Can we get a plushie of the little helmet guy? :)

sankaku why didn' you talk about the Vicious Attacks made by the morrrons of kotaku against dragon's crown?
those bastard should have been put on blast for their bigotry
for those who don't know what i'm talking please watch the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP27mQ36_28
Where are those fools decrying "sexism" this time?
F you, Kotaku
You don't play as her? All interest lost.
Japan stop makeing video games your doing it wrong
So many downvotes, haters and graphic whores.
March 2014? NIS America site need to be updated so badly they still have it "coming in 2013" i will wait patiently, i still have lots of games to entertain me in the meantime.
Why is this even an article. It's just another shitty nippon ichi game
Wakfu called, they want their artwork back.
Are the girls in the game are playable? If they are, then I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
Couldn't they have made this earlier so she could appear in Disgaea =/ (though if they wanted her to she would make an appearance anyway I guess)
>In a sign of perhaps just how far behind the curve Nippon Ichi is these days, they say it will be their “first fully polygonal in-house title,”
You make it sound like such a bad thing.
This is more like an indie niche title, can't expect it to have the amazing specs of AAA japanese games like Final Fantasy or Nintendo's stuff.
It might not be running on frostbite 3 but it looks damn good.
Hmm, it does scream that this is the only game that they wanted to put onto Steam.
Although I would love to see some of the strat games on there.
Those little knight things are so cute.
They're like baddass patapon, might buy this day 1.
that little knight fella looks like it can be a ghost/steel type pokemon
