Nippon Ichi is fine! It was a mistranslation, d00ds.

What else can I do? I'm not the one that mismanaged their finances, that's their problem. When they release a game that I want, I buy it. Did that with Disgaea 4 on the Vita and plan to do it with Disgaea 3 Vita later on.

Damn.... 
PS3/PS4
Explain?
Posted in other thread but: Nah there's gotta be pretty much a 100% chance DanganRonpa would get picked up by Atlus or Aksys considering the relationships they have with Spike Chunsoft as well as the quality and popularity of the IP. I'd say Danganronpa is pretty safe, but their other localizations would be in a pretty precarious spot. Hopefully they are able to pull through

Why live?
I'd agree with this in theory, but if they're on the edge now, they can't really devote more resources to it. Besides, the only experience they have on other hardware is with Vita and PS3. They can't exactly go and hire new brand new people to develop ports.

Still no release date for the U.S. release of D5? If it's too far down the line then I might consider buying the digital version of the JP release. Gotta do my part!

Ohh for fuck sakes.
I like Disgaea, but the formula has been stale for the past few games. It doesn't change. They add stuff here and there, but by and large, Disgaea 1 and D2 are the same games.
I know nothing about Disgaea 5, and I can already tell you 90% of how the game plays and what it looks like, and I'll describe nearly all of the Disgaea games.

Not trying to sound like port begging, but why don't they try getting some of their older titles on the pc. Surely they would benefit from some additional income security.

A shame it didn't go further than 2 titles.

So they're a gaf member? Anyways, that's pretty cool.
yes, one who knew about my love for Disgaea for a loooong time
one of my very earliest debates on GAF was describing why Disgaea was better than Final Fantasy Tactics.
Come at me bros
If he is talking about Japan only... good luck...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a company that forecasts 150k for D5 on the PS4 is facing financial difficulties. I don't even know if D4 got that. Maybe lifetime.
They do make some good JRPG's, though they made a bad choice by putting it on the same date as Bloodborne.
LOL, good luck with that. Niche JRPG's like Disgaea doesn't sell on Xbox consoles, let alone on PC. Not to mention that Nippon Ichi would have to sell even more copies of the game than ever before due to it being multiplatform.
Best bet would be PS3/PS4.

I loved what I have played of Disgaea but I've never played FFT so I'm inclined to agree with you.
Well there was this

Time to buy Disgaea 3 and 4 on Vita just in case =/
Probably can't run a decent frame-rate honestly. Didn't D4 lag sometimes on PS3(even more on vita)? The way D5 is sounding it's looking to have even more sprites on screen. That means an even heavier load on the system. It surprised me to find out how much sprites can tax a system, just cause they run way different than 3-D games.
They still have to have the money to port those games, sounds like they're using the last of the budget on this game.

One thing Steam/PC library kind of lacks is good SRPGs (Japanese style ones at least). I bet if they released some PC versions of the Disgaea games they'd bring in some sales for sure.
Betting it all on one horse? And for a single platform, too? One where we don't even know if it's sustainable in the Japanese market?
Ugh.
Tbh, the much bigger loss for me, personally, would be NISA, as they're one of the few publisher of Japanese niche games that give a damn about Europe (even though they got plenty of hiccups there, too). Hell, like, half of my Vita library is published by NISA in Europe. Losing them would be one of the greatest injustices in modern European gaming history.
But that's not to say that I wouldn't mourn for NIS as a developer, too. I hope they pull through, even though, if the situation is indeed as bleak as it's made out to be, I don't see it happening.

PC not going to help them in Japan people and the company so small they might not be able to do a port in the west .
Are we doing polygon math again?
Alright, let's put it this way:
PS4 has yet to have a single title that has sold 150k copies in Japan at retail.
