Sigh of relief for now, but they need to stop shipping mediocrities like The Witch and the Hundred Knight if they want my confidence in their continued existence to grow.
Disgaea DS only sold 38,770 copies in Japan and didn't do well in the USA, either.
Oh, thank god. I woudn't know what to do if they went out of business.
I mean, I really want my Hundred Knight sequel.
Wait? They are not going bankrupt? Yes! Can't wait to play Disgaea 5! It's coming to the West right? Lol
Yeah we got an update via a few NIS reps. He was trying to just put an emphasis on them looking to sell 150K.
Disgaea 5 is probably going to be the same thing again, but I really hope for 6 they really change it up.
They have to shake up the formula.

Me, I'll be echoing the thought someone else brought up earlier: where's Makai Kingdom 2?
Asagi's game when?

Really, if you wanted an NIS-flavored game that isn't Disgaea, there's a whole bunch of other choices they offer.

Unnecessary change will only turn away a lot of long time fans, especially a series niche enough to begin with. Change for the sake of change would be pointless unless it promotes positive and worthwhile growth to the series that leads to improvement.
They changed things up considerably in D2 with the Rasetsu and no longer needing collect special items to get the Land of Carnage. Also Monster Mounting replacing Magichange which fixes the issue of losing two units for the price of one. Also throwing mechanics have been fixed to instead of being just a straight line but rather in a specific ranged in any direction based on the throw stat of a character so diagonal throwing is normal mechanic and not a special trick like in previous games
Also the stronger enemy / weaken enemy bills are no longer assembly requirements and can be adjusted freely by a special NPC so that sense much of the repetition of passing pointless senate proposals is largely been toned down.
The biggest thing about Disgaea 5 however is addition of more units available on screen at once. Previous games you could only deploy 10 characters maxed. They upped this in Disgaea 5 to 100.
So instead of each battle being basically small skirmishes, it will be like mini wars if there is a hundred units all on screen at the same time.
150K units? They can pull that off, right?
Now we can get back to wishing for Disgaea 3 D2. Eh? Anyone?
Awesome, cheers for fellow Disgaea fans like us.
*High Five*
Is there any reason why this series wasn't moved to the DS/PSP or 3DS/Vita to keep cost down and possible reach more people? With the main series I mean and not a spin off. I don't get why they stayed on the console and just Sony consoles? Did they not try to catch the Wii wave with an entry?
Disgaea DS bombed. It's why Disgaea 2-3-4 are Sony portable exclusive.
Though Disgaea 4 has slowdown. Which makes me wonder if Disgaea D2 will ever happen (It's the only one I care about, being a sequel to Disgaea 1/Laharl's adventures) for Sony's portable, especially since they said they had issues with porting Disgaea 4 over/the slowdown.
Wasn't Disgaea DS also a really bad port?
It did have a single fantastic feature that I was jealous of, and wish more handheld games would have: display the hour of your real time clock. No more evening sessions that quickly creep into late night gaming before you know it, which is so easy with strategy games. You don't even to clutter up your main screen on a dual screen system either.Yes, kinda... that too. They removed voices due to the DS card size limits. The game itself also added a few "touch-screen"/second screen stuff that wasn't really needed. But mechanically, it was nearly the same as the PSP verison in terms of performance AFAIK.
Will still buy Disgaea 5, but I hope NISA won't screw around with the translations too much this time.
No censorship, no removed content, jp voice acting included pls...
it's funny to me that nisa's built a reputation around censoring games when the only thing they've consistently done is edit scenes in which the player touches underage girls. there's worse things than censorship in games, like scenes in video games in which the player touches underage girls.
beyond that, i don't know what removed content disgaea's had in the past, but they've all had dual audio, so that should be safe there.

Didn't they change way too much of Danganronpa and Neptunia's script? I understand cultural differences, but it IS kind of overboard.
Dual audio hype!!
if it was way too much, the creators of the games wouldn't have approved the script, nor would they have allowed them to work on sequels. you will need to be more specific.
They left 3ds and go to hell in japan
