NIS America has announced that Prinny Party: Going Overboard! is now available in Western markets on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The four-player party RPG launched on November 11, 2026, priced at $29.99, bringing a combination of board-game progression, turn-based combat and competitive multiplayer featuring characters from the Disgaea universe.
Developed by Nippon Ichi Software, the game supports one to four players and combines cooperative boss battles with competition between participants. Players explore a game board, defeat enemies, earn experience, purchase equipment and complete quests to strengthen their characters before confronting the Supreme Overboard and his Protago-Knights.
Although players must cooperate to defeat powerful enemies, individual victory depends on who successfully brings the defeated boss back to the starting location. This creates opportunities for betrayal, as participants can interfere with one another while attempting to secure the winning objective. If every player is defeated simultaneously, the entire group loses.
The game also incorporates several RPG mechanics associated with the Disgaea series. Players can pick up and throw characters or enemies, construct facilities such as hospitals and armories, and upgrade buildings to improve their usefulness. These facilities are accessible to other participants, allowing opponents to benefit from investments made by competing players.
Another returning mechanic is the Dark Assembly, which allows players to pass bills that alter gameplay conditions. Available effects include increasing damage, granting additional movement and constructing powerful cannons capable of eliminating difficult enemies.
Multiplayer support differs between platforms. The Steam release includes Remote Play Together, allowing friends to participate over the internet using a single purchased copy. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition supports GameShare, enabling multiplayer sessions with other compatible Nintendo systems without requiring every participant to own the game.
Nintendo Switch 2 players can use GameShare locally or online, although online GameShare requires GameChat and a Nintendo Switch Online membership. The standard Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions support local multiplayer but do not include equivalent online remote-play functionality.
Existing Nintendo Switch owners can access the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition through a free upgrade pack available on the Nintendo eShop. The enhanced version offers improved resolution alongside GameShare support, giving players access to additional multiplayer options without purchasing the full game again.
All versions are distributed digitally. The game includes English and Japanese voice acting, while the Steam edition additionally supports Korean and Traditional Chinese interface text and subtitles.
Alongside its multiplayer modes, Prinny Party: Going Overboard! can be played solo, allowing players to focus on character progression and boss encounters without competing against friends.
The release adds another multiplayer-focused title to Nintendo’s newer console library, which has also expanded with games such as The Outlast Trials on Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike traditional cooperative games, however, Prinny Party combines shared objectives with individual victory conditions, making competition an integral part of its gameplay.
Prinny Party: Going Overboard! is available now on Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in supported Western markets. Its Japanese release is scheduled for November 12, 2026.
