Yeah, it's a petty complaint but I kinda hope they rename it between now and February. "Disgaea PC" just looks kinda weird to me. :/

I'm really surprised they are porting the first one. I expected Disgaea 5.
Yeah, though I do love the first and think it'll hold up just fine. 1st is still the funniest to me.
That's also a very astute statement. But for the specific type of games that these are, i'd say there was absolutely an audience that was wanting these types of Japanese titles, and as you say, jumping on that yields big rewards just like Valkyria proved.
And hopefully it gives these series reconsideration by the publishers.
I don't care either. High five!

Seriously, the sprites on the right are messed to hell and beyond. WTF!In any case, I vastly prefer xBRZ over what they use in Disgaea PC:
I got my first 1080p monitor in 2007 or 2008, forgive my memory here
For reference, Android 1.0 was released in 2008.
Your face right now.
Really I didn't.
Marketing wise, Releasing disgaea 5 first would make the previous series irrelevant. Trust me it would, the gameplay and graphics are miles better than its predecessors. It's hard for me to play the previous Disgaea games after I've beaten Disgaea 5.
In this way they can maximize profits by releasing slowly the iterations that have released in the past. Such as Disgaea 1 then 2.
Or releasing this title and making fans interested in the PS4 version.
It's good marketing. It's win win.

Jep, People on PC actually like strategy games.
The first disgaea game is hardly "major". It's 13 years old at this point
It still has the best story in the series and mechanically it holds up really well. Makes sense to start with the first one really.

How so? It's one of (if not THE) highest rated game in the series plus it's the first one so it's arguably the best entry point for people who haven't played any of the games before.
It's NIS's flagship series and outside of one brief port, the series has been exclusive to Playstation platforms for its entire lifetime.
He's talking about publishers/developers, not the relevance of the franchise. Maybe the first Disgaea isn't major, NiS Japan developing the port and confirming their stance of supporting PC is.

it really does, I wonder why people have been ignoring that ahahaha
And, uhh, apparently DInput button prompts.
In a 2016 PC game.
Wrap your head around that.

Fantastic news! Now my hope for a Witch and the Hundred Knight port isn't completely hopeless.
Although its a bit more vague in its details than I'd like it to be...Is this version of Disgaea HD? It says updated textures and UI but I want more specifics.

Exactly.
NISA would be nuts to put out Disgaea 5 first.
1. It would require the most effort to port. The first four Disgaea titles are available on the PSP/Vita, while D5 is PS4-only.
2. Disgaea 1 is the most well-known entry in the series. The sequels improve on the original game substantially, but it still has a place in the hearts of many gamers.
3. If NIS put out D5 on PC first...What could they do next? Nobody is going to buy D1-4 if they already have the latest and greatest installment. By starting with D1, NIS can put out the other entries every few months and create a steady stream of revenue. Maybe they'll take chances on other games like Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom as well.
4. It's not like the prequels are all that obsolete compared to D5 either. The handheld Disgaea games received numerous enhancements, so they're still pretty fresh.
This is a major opportunity for NIS, because tactics-based RPGs are extremely few and far between on Steam. Even Square-Enix can't be assed to put FFT on the service, which is absolutely mind-boggling.

i hope they port over witch the and hundred knight as well since they are considering franchising it, makai kingdom too just cause

So glad to get this good news. Been itching to play this again lately.
As long as they don't take too long between releases (a few months apart at most) and price them accordingly, I think it should be fine. Releasing D1-3 within a single year at 15 bucks each would be fairly reasonable.

I'm glad they're finally giving PC a shot, seems like the kind of studio that would really benefit.
The only thing that will stop me from buying this Day 1 will be the price. Q1 is pretty loaded for me, so double dipping on something I wont be playing anytime soon might not happen. That being said, I want to support it and have it do well. Disgaea needs to find a good home on PC.

I contacted the PR Guy I know at NISA.
NIS PR said:As for more Disgaeas coming to STEAM, Im gonna crib a verse from the PR bible and say, If it does well, we definitely want to consider more titles going forward.

i wonder how nisa will roll out 3,4 and d2
they could release 3 & 4 vita ports with all the dlc, or they could possibly nickle and dime more people with their outrageous dlc prices lol >_>
yeah my mistake

^_~ you read my mind. Oh I love the handheld but Disgaea 5 has just improved on so many aspects that I don't know what I would do without some of the features they have on it.
I hope this does so well for them, but I know it'll be a slow burn at first and not too crazy. It'll really help though with the extra revenue if the ports cost very little to make. I know NA players gobble up Disgaea titles on the Playstation so I hope the same happens on PC and more. I want NIS to succeed!!! Mobile would probably be extremely viable for Disgaea too.

It's not just the DLC, but significant amounts of new content and quality of life upgrades. They'd be crazy to port D3/D4 PS3.

oh i know, but the prices are bad, it's just a possibility despite it being impractical
they'll probably port the vita versions since they're porting the psp version of 1
I thought the season pass for 5 was reasonably priced. I got a lot of bang for my butt
Having a version of D4 with Cheat Shop without having to worry about framerate drops sounds like a dream
