The adorable \u2014 and chronically explodable \u2014 Prinny penguin is finally getting its own party game, and Nippon Ichi Software dropped the full reveal today. Prinny Party: Going Overboard!<\/strong> lands in Japan on 12 November 2026<\/strong> for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. NIS America has confirmed a Western localisation is in the works, though a release date is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

What Is Prinny Party: Going Overboard?<\/h2>\n

Known in Japan as \u30d7\u30ea\u30cb\u30fc\u3059\u3054\u308d\u304f<\/strong> (Prinny Sugoroku), the game is NIS’s take on the board-game party genre \u2014 think Mario Party crossed with Dokapon Kingdom, filtered through the anarchic energy of Disgaea. Up to four players roll dice, move around a sprawling board, earn experience points, purchase equipment, and build facilities like armories and hospitals that rivals can drop into \u2014 for a fee, naturally.<\/p>\n

The cooperative twist is very Nippon Ichi: when a boss spawns on the board, players can team up to bring it down \u2014 but only the one who lands the final blow<\/em> gets the credit. Expect alliances to collapse at the worst possible moment. On top of that, the game features an Assembly system that lets you pass bills granting yourself special advantages, or just making everyone else’s day considerably worse.<\/p>\n

The World of Prinny Party<\/h2>\n

The game board spans multiple visually distinct biomes \u2014 frozen tundra, volcanic wastelands, lush grasslands, desert ruins, and open seas \u2014 all rendered in the chibi art style Disgaea fans will recognise immediately. Several Disgaea-universe characters appear alongside the flagship blue Prinny, who shows up briefcase in hand and ready to catch hands, as ever.<\/p>\n

Nippon Ichi Software described the game as packed with “hachiyamecha”<\/em> (\u30cf\u30c1\u30e3\u30e1\u30c1\u30e3 \u2014 wildly chaotic) experiences that go well beyond a typical board game, promising surprises that will flip players’ expectations of the sugoroku format. The full reveal took place today on the official \u65e5\u672c\u4e00\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb YouTube livestream<\/a> (Japanese).<\/p>\n
