PRINNY: CAN I REALLY BE THE HERO?
SHIPPED TO RETAILERS NATIONWIDE

NIS America announced today that
“Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?”, Nippon Ichi Software’s first action game
has shipped to retailer stores around the nation. Gamers can finally experience
one of the most difficult action game for the PSP! As Nippon Ichi Software’s
first pure action game, Prinny will be the most heart pounding and challenging
side scrolling action game ever. Players will control an unlucky penguin dude
called a Prinny and slash their way through various Netherworlds.

For this tough as nails action game,
you’re given 1000 units to accomplish your mission, but even with those 1000
units you will have to use everything you find on the battlefield to survive.
Lift and throw objects, stomp enemies, even pilot tanks and planes to bombard
whatever gets in your way!

MULTIPLE DIFFICULTIES:
Standard mode allows you to take damage up to 3 times before losing a life,
giving mere mortals a chance to beat the game. We also have Hell mode, where one
hit means instant death! Good luck!

KEY FEATURES

• 1000 Units: Players will get 1000
  lives to beat the toughest action side scroller!

• Lift & Throw: Prinnies are able to
  lift and throw objects on the battlefield.

• Vehicles: Steal and control
  powerful vehicles, like tanks and UFOs.

• Hip Pound: Jump and pound enemies
  to stun them. Then you can inflict multiple combo attacks for extra damage.

• 3D World with Characters: In
  Prinny, character art is created using fluid sprites, giving it a classic look
  with a comical tone. Battlefields and backgrounds, however, are created with
  3D models. This allows for a smooth and unique combat action where certain
  attacks are rendered in a 3dimensional view.
