Disgaea is making its way to the PC

Keith: You read right! NIS America has just announced that Disgaea is making its way to the PC via steam. The game is currently available to pre-order on steam now here, however the title won't be released until Feb 2016. Yes, the very same game was only previously available on console is coming to the PC.

Whoa, this is major. I hope this transition goes well for them, NIS deserves more sales for this amazing series. I'm not even a big fan of Strategy RPGs, but Disgaea has always been the one exception that I can't stop playing. (Well, FF Tactics too, but you know... That game was amazing.)

[AzubuEntus]

I'm interested in the game, but I have like 30 other Steam games that I haven't touched yet. Damm you Steam sales!

[Hoffmann]

This is a problem probably everyone of us faced now. No matter how great the games are, we just buy too many of them and our games backlogs are just rising and rising :-)

[R6ex]

Haha ... I only have about 200 unplayed games on Steam Library. Yet, I'm just waiting to play the latest games.

[ONESHOTV2]

100+ in all i have not touched lol and counting 300+ bought

[iDadio]

I'm trying (and failing) to juggle Disgaea 5, Divinity and Fallout 4. Each one is masterpiece timesink :(

[RedDevils]

I about to buy this game, since it available on steam guess I have cancel that plan play this type of game on PC feel better imo

[syotos77]

Also excited for this but I was really hoping it would be the collection that was recently released on ps3.

[ChronoJoe]

Shame that it looks like you get the PS2 assets with this version.

They have HD assets for every sprite in D1, so I don't see why they couldn't have replaced them.

[callahan09]

I'll probably buy it considering it is one of my all-time favorite games and being able to play it where I take my laptop with me is pretty cool (I played it on PSP years ago as well, but I don't bring my PSP with me anywhere anymore haha).

I wouldn't call this "major" though... it is after all a 12 year old game. It's not like they announced Disgaea 5 for PC.

[Snookies12]

The fact that any Disgaea game is on PC is major. You know this is a test run to see how sales are, and whether they want to develop for PC as a platform in the future.

[H2OAcidic]

Grab most of the post from the press release much with only adding an intro..... At least if your press take some time to write something up instead of try to be first to get it up on N4G without much "editing".

[Hoffmann]

I think that own wording and opinions are not even always needed if the press release was pretty objective and included already all important details. The press release was actually easier to read than this article on theouterheaven though.

[DevilOgreFish]

Getting it when it lands, big fan of grid based RTSs.

[Hoffmann]

Just saw you in Gematsu,anyway cheers man.

Hope the sequels come to steam too.

[Hoffmann]

The sequels and all those funny spinoffs like Phantom brave and Makai Kingdom. The more people can enjoy these, the better it is. Especially if the ports come with all the dlc and some extras

[gangsta_red]

Wow, that is interesting. I wonder if they plan on bringing the whole series over to PC?

[Nivekki]

PC is getting plenty of JRPG love lately.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed, more money and hopefully this will get more games made due to demand not just for PS and Nintendo platforms but PC as a whole!

JRPGs really, really need this.

[freshslicepizza]

yes and so they should since console gaming isn't exactly huge business over there any more.

[Ashlen]

Sweet, I love that so many JRPG's are coming to PC recently.

[Imalwaysright]

More and more japanese devs have been releasing their games on the PC. Day one.

[rpgfan]

of course they are a lot of games like these are niche games. well they sell decent on PlayStation im sure they can't make a ton off of them so why not bring them to pc. and make more money so there can be more games like this made.

[slappy508]

I'm loving all the JRPGs making its way on steam.

[SynestheticRoar]

Sweet.

[mezati99]

This could be big on steam...

[kaiserfranz]

Great news!

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Hope it does well and we get more Atlus games.

[Rookie_Monster]

Great...now make Persona 5 on PC too Atlus.

[KonaSquid]

Consoles are dead.

[madjedi]

They seem to be doing quite well despite being dead.

[KonaSquid]

every game goes to pc now. little to no reason to game on them anymore.

[madjedi]

I have both their is still a purpose for them, not everyone wants to build a pc.

[RedDevils]

Like zombie dead, yeah I can see them spawning quite fast though

[Lennoxb63]

Consoles are dead... In Japan.

[magiciandude]

PC gets the jRPG love these days. Tales of, and now Disgaea, two great franchises with strong following. As a PC gamer, I couldn't have asked for much better news. Now if we get Persona on board...

[_-EDMIX-_]

Very, very likely. I wonder how Valkyria Chronicles did for them on PC, I see SEGA doing it if they feel they can make some extra profit on the digital only space.

[madjedi]

Why the first one I would think 3 or 4 would have been a better choice.
