Nippon Ichi fans now have a reason to purchase a PS3 this holiday season…

At the Sony Playstation Premier event in Tokyo today, it was announced that “Makai Senki Disgaea 3” will be available this winter for the Playstation 3. This leap to the next gen for the series is a first but judging from the screenshots and the sprites used, not much of a difference can be seen — unless these are from the supposed PSP-cancelled version, which would explain a lot.

Continuing it’s SRPG tradition, it seems like this new sequel will much please long-time fans — the school setting has me very curious as to what the plot line may be this time around, and who the identities of the leading characters will be. In the screens you see a menu giving you the option to change your seat, go to your home room, or take part in ceremonies for graduation and entrance.

The game is expected to be released for the PS3 in Japan this winter — can’t wait to preorder! No word yet on an international release — but much like Disgaea 2, it may not be available until Summer ‘08.
