Still want your Disgaea Portable so, so badly?

You WANT us. You REALLY WANT us. Come on, you CAN'T RESIST...


B***h, me hearties, b***h loud and b***h proud! Says Nippon Ichi Software America (NISA) in an interview with RPGLand, echoing the same advice they gave Advanced Media Network a few months ago. As they tell RPGLand in the depths of the Brazilian jungle... (hey, don't look at us, that's RPGLand talking):

WeÂ’re trying to determine how much demand is out there in the market. ItÂ’s obviously not cheap to localize a game; therefore, we need to be sure a game would actually succeed here in the States. Also, to clear things up, Sony actually is supportive about 2D games. Some people have the misconception that Sony dislikes 2D and prefers 3D, but that is not true.


How badly did you guys want it? Let's see, we're checking the comments on all our Disgaea Portable posts from the beginning...  see if any of these sound familiar to you:
  • I WANT IT (assorted)
  • i do ido ido ido... (majorcrabs)
  • need this so bad!!!! Shame there'll probably be no European/UK release, but it least i could import a us version! (demonkill)
  • I love disgaea and I want this game so bad, I'm going to import it (KaizokuNinja)
  • Please for the love of God... I'd even upgrade my firmware if it wasn't emulatable (NO FREAKIN WAY!)
That makes it a Heck Yeah, We Want Our Disgaea Portable (NA) So, So Badly!!!

RPGLand's interview with NISA is ROFLarious. From RPGLand's questioning, NISA promises that Disgaea Portable will rock our socks, pants, and face (they say our skeletons will crawl out of our mouths), but not our awesome, because "Disgaea Portable can only boost your awesome with its own awesome." Again they advise: spread it in the forum posts, spread it to your friends, spread it loud so that NIS-Japan can hear: We Want Our Disgaea Portable Too!!! (You can also replace the word "spread" with "spam", if you'd like).

Maybe we should just take an ad out in the New York Times. Anyone got the email address for the head honcho of Nippon Ichi?

I've never heard of disgaea or have played it, but I'm open to all games (goes to google it)

» OF COURSE WE WANT IT!

If for any chance, this post is read by the right people, just know, Disgaea is wanted here in the US.

» Hehe

I'm half Japanese, so I'm not terribly looking forward to it in English. I do feel that many would love it here in the States though, as many raved for it on the PS2.

» I want it

Heh, well, at least, for 1 and 2, they left the option to play with the original Japanese voices. Sort of like playing an anime.



I REALLY want Disgaea 1 to come to the PSP here. I love tactics games, but Disgaea 1 was just too rare to be found (I cant buy off the internet) when i found out about it. Luckily, i managed to buy Disgaea 2 as soon as it came out, but i really want a portable Disgaea. Plus, with all the things they are adding, its got to be good.

» hmmmm

never heard of it but games with alot of hype rarely live up to their expectations. still ll research it and from what i already can tell its a tactical game and will probly be lliked in the states. And no im not willing to learn japanese because you aint wiling to play it in english when obviously you already know it. u hypocritical lazy good fer nuthin........................kidding but i dont want to learn another lanuage just ot play games expecially japaese from what i heard one of the hardest languages to learn

by p0stal_sean - 2006-11-14 17:54
» okay i must have been border than i thought

i thought how can u pass news in the states the quickest so i got on my myspace nmy little brother made me and posted a bulletin asking people that care about things like this to express there view and afteer i get 200 votes to send it back to me. well see if it gets far it it dont get back to me guess people arnt that excited about new releases. if you want to vote im not sure if you can see it but heres my myspace adress never the less http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction+user.viewprofile+friendID+83495989 i put it as a bulletin and will repost it tomorrow it noone does it first

by Jashsu - 2006-11-14 18:08
» Duh

The only reason NISA is hyping this so much can only be that they have already planned to release it, and this is basically just viral marketing. Think about it. Why would they release crap like Spectral Souls and then not release Disgaea?

» Ha

Funny thing, i am 13 and i lived most of my life in Tokyo, easy, and i learned English in school, ha.

"It’s obviously not cheap to localize a game"



Isn't this game already localized? There is already an english version of Disgaea on the ps2.

by Kei - 2006-11-15 04:21
» I'm half japanese too pal ^^

Ever since i got my psp ive been wanting to play a good tactic game like disgaea and now they're gona release the actual game to the psp even better.

by Azazil - 2006-11-15 09:17
» I want it so bad!

I seriously want this game. Disgaea portable will be Bada**, and a great addition to anyone's library. We need more Tactic Games!

Even if you think this game sucks, what difference will it make if it comes here, or even if you help it come here? You'll help calm all of this whining, right? Help spread the word anyways, it won't hurt you. Pleeeaaaase?



And I'm half Japanese too! However, I can only guess as to the meaning of Kanji. Luckily, I'm also half Taiwanese, so it helps a bit. I can hold my own when watching anime, though. =3 Basically, as long as I can hear it, I can understand it somewhat.



Anyways, what to put as my offering to the great god of NISJ...



"I would battle the Twin Horns again for this." I guess that would be alright...



"I would reset my level 85 Partner Machinery for this." >.< Ouch... but still worth it...



"I would give up Kratos for Zelos." Good gawd.



"I would stop any sort of Tear x Luke relationship." Nooooo!!



"I would never play as Akiha Tohno in Melty Blood ever." ... ... ...



"I... I..." Oh gawd. "I would watch a dub."
