Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? is a side-scrolling hack and slash spinoff of the tactical role-playing game, Disgaea. I don’t know what Prinnies are, so I did some research. They’re like penguins with little wings, and some of them have the souls of thieves, murderers, or even a demon inside of them. Prinnies are made in another dimension, and there is a Prinny Land wherein the creatures that have escaped their enslavement seek refuge. There was a lot more to Prinnies than I had anticipated.
Anyway. Nippon Ichi Software gave one of them their very own game for the PlayStation Portable, and it was well-received for its strong visual design and comic moments. The sequel—Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!—added three new moves and three difficulties, and got a special story mode that determined the player’s health on their style rating. Now, the two games have been ported to Switch, and boast overhauled visuals for the classic hack and slash.
Also, there is a “Just Desserts Edition” up for pre-order at the NIS America Store. It includes a copy of the game, collector’s box, “Prinny’s Scrapbook of Memories,” “Prinny’s Awesome Mix,” a “Can I Really Be a Prinny Block?,” and “Asagi Wars EX Alpha Championship Poster.”
Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded will come to the Nintendo Switch in fall 2020. Watch the announcement trailer below.
