You forgot two. Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and Prinny 2, which I have not played. Prinny 1, on the other hand, was a Mario clone in the truest use of the word. It was a side scrolling platformer where your only real course of action was "Keep moving right until you hear the victory music." But it was a very interesting concept. Laharl is dead. Etna reigns. You are a Prinny forced to search for Etna's snacks because she's too much of a whiny ***** to do it herself. Apparently Prinny 2 is the same thing except you're searching for her underwear this time.
Back on track, Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness is very similar, in terms of characterization, to Prince of Persia Sands of Time. Laharl is an over confident jackass who usually manages to learn a lesson. Etna is a ***** who always plays any possible angle to get rid of Laharl. Mid-Boss was the guy everyone wanted to die, but he somehow managed to help out Laharl every time they met after the first time. And Flonne is just the girl who everyone wants to get violently raped. Dark Hero Days was similar, in that it tried to get characters everyone wanted characterized. They just went the opposite direction and made it comedic as a whole rather than dark and gloomy with a momentary upside. There's nothing wrong with that, though. Adel was pretty badass, Rozy was a sheltered entitled little shit, I can't remember the frog's name, but he was a pervert who everyone thought was really funny. Adel's family were complete morons. And Axel was another Mid-Boss, but he felt more like a rival by nature of the fact that he and Adel looked like they were about the same age, unlike with Laharl and Mid-Boss where it looks like an exercise in "Let's see how long we can get away with this before someone calls us pedophiles (although this is NISA)." And what Kopikatsu said about Infinite is completely accurate and I can add nothing else intelligent to it.
