Do you find the idea of taking out the brave whiny-mouthed hero and his overly frisky healer girlfriend, intriguing? Does the idea of a group of self-righteous do-gooders meeting their fate in the cold grip of impending doom just make you want explode in absolute glee? Then I shall present to you, Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!: What Did I do to Deserve This? (Note: since this is perhaps the longest game title in the history of overly-long Japanese game titles ever, I'm just going to refer to the game as Badman, thank you! )
Badman, the titular character in No Heroes Allowed and What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?, just wants to rest inside his evil lair, but pesky heroes keep invading his home.
The puzzle game developed by Sony and Acquire has players maintain a monster ecosystem to protect Badman and defeat wandering heroes.
Badman G was announced as a PlayStation Vita title in this week’s issue of Famitsu. The game is a free to play title with in game item purchases. Badman G also supports four player co-op.
NIS America localized the first two Badman games and Sony Computer Entertainment America picked up the third so there is a decent chance Badman G will get localized.
What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? Is awesome, glad they continued to work on the series.
Allison Walter – Product and Development Manager for Europe, NIS America: Hi everyone! I have a few bits of important news to announce!
The first is, Badman has decided to change his bad image, or at least his name. Let it be known: The Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman series will immediately be referred to as What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? The original title had a conflict of interest with an existing IP and it was not NIS America's intention to create any conflict. This new title is intended to better represent the game's whacky retro dungeon world and connect the player's awareness with the overall theme of the game.
Due to the name change the game, Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman!: What did I do to deserve this? will be temporarily unavailable from the PlayStation Store. The game will return as soon as the new name process has been completed. Also What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 will be delayed until May 4th, 2010 to provide ample time to complete the change to the new name.
stupid long-ass name for no reason except just to be long and obnoxious to say.
Plasticman?
Thought this whole thing was about badman being too close to Batman. The "holy" being a direct rip on the 60's TV show.
I will be downloading this today.

however this game is a little bit too hard for my taste.....
yes i played it when it was released in japan...
