Who remembers Disgaea? Absolutely everybody? Of course you do. Yes, Disgaea, as camp as a mushroom in tap shoes and twice as brain frying. Don't get me wrong, I loved Disgaea, but any game that allows you to level characters up to 10,000 is simply insidious and not to be trusted. Sadly, we are all slaves to the XP and it is time to kneel at its altar once more as Disgaea comes to the Nintendo DS. Oh yes. Oh yes indeed.
In an interview with NIS' Nao Zook (sounds like a Bond villain), there was a fleeting answer to a reader question posed, asking meekly of the chances of a Disgaea appearing on the DS:
"Let me just say this... you can look forward to it!"
There you go! Nao Zook has given us all permission to look forward to one of NIS' most beloved tactical RPG head-asploders with wanton gusto. Note that he never actually confirmed that the game would be heading to Nintendo's handheld, he only said we could get our hopes up. Well? You heard the man. Start getting excited!

why would it come on the ds?
I'll probably buy the PSP version to simply justify owning one. Besides I can't imagine the touch screen being used to create a charming new way to experience disgaea
disgaea on psp > ds ;)
FUCK YES!!!
I actually called a friend to tell him about this particular news
:D
STUPID GOOD FOR NOTHING PENGUINS!!!
What was the space rangers name again?
s
I love my DS as much as anyone but lets face it, that touch screen does not instantly make a game better. Having played disgaea I can't think of a single thing the touch screen could do to make it a better game than the PSP version. unless they add some new content that involves the stylus.
more sales = better game? lol
oh oh I get it, you dont have a PSP
@christpunchermpls-> Captain Gordon, Jennifer and Thursday if my memory doesn't fail me.
Also, the penguins are called Prinnies.
Dear Venguaq, Norman is going to fry me alive.
