Disgaea Portable for US - interview with Sohei Niikawa |
Ó
We've been waiting for Disgaea's port for the PSP for the longest time, as Japan has had it since last November (and we've been pining away for it since then). Gamespot was able to score an interview with Sohei Niikawa, managing director of Nippon Ichi Software Inc. Wait. US version. Disgaea Portable. In the same sentence?
In the video interview, Sohei Niikawa discussed why its taking them so long to release a US version for Disgaea Portable. According to him, it was done to ensure that they will be able to satisfy their US fans with the inclusion of the adhoc mode. What's the difference between the PS2 version and the PSP port? As with other ported titles, devs worked to have the game take advantage of the portable console.
A record keeper was added so stats and records can be shared with others. There's also a place where music can be purchased allowing players to change the music in a certain dungeon or just have it as a music player. The Disgaea Portable Japanese version and the US version will also have a number of differences as the US version will have the adhoc mode plus additional characters and scenarios.
Whew. So what do you think would happen to Etna if she ended up killing Laharl rather than waking him up? We'll find out when Disgaea Portable releases in North America this Fall. We'll shut up now and let you watch the video, you can also check out the some screens. Want more? Click the via link below.

LAST POST OH YEAH!
it isnt a port according to ign: http://psp.ign.com/articles/777/777214p1.html "Unlike many titles that migrate over to the system from the console, Disgaea PSP isn't a port of the PS2 game. Instead, the story of the title is actually a prequel to the original title, and takes place right after the death of King Krichevskoy. However, instead of focusing primarily upon the adventure of Laharl, the prince of the Netherworld, Disgaea PSP highlights the story of Etna this time around. Not only will players wind up waking up Laharl and helping him along in his quest, they'll also work on turning Etna into the Beauty Queen Ultimate Overlord that she's always wanted to be. In fact, if players manage to achieve this status, they'll wind up unlocking a new secret ending for the game." "However, even if you've become accustomed to the console version, a number of surprises are waiting for you when you pick up Disgaea PSP. For one thing, players will have to contend with geo cubes, new randomly distributed items that bestow special effects on the battlefield. For another thing, the portable title features a new multiplayer duel system that was specifically developed for North America. That means that you can challenge your friends to see who the better Netherworld strategist is. You'll also have the option to manipulate almost every option for the game, including changing game rules, win/loss conditions and even creating new battle maps to fight over. Finally, along with a large roster of NIS America characters that have been hidden away in the game, players will have the option to purchase and replay their favorite soundtracks, giving them another level of customization during play. "
So, it's a port with extra features.
