Square Enix to Publish Disgaea DS  in Europe on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Disgaea DS will be heading to Europe this Spring thanks to Square Enix.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is the inspiration for this version, now an updated version of the PS2 original strategy RPG. Like the original you fear Netherworld, a dark, grim, evil place that's said to be deeper than the sea. Two years after the death of the region's King Krichevskoy, his son awakens to fight his way to power and fend off demons.

Nippon Ichi's Disgaea DS delivers a unique portable gaming experience which can be enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to the series' trademark cheerful and fun style, Disgaea DS is set to appeal to all players across Europe and other PAL territories.

Some features from the press release:

  • Discover who is the best strategist with the all-new duel system for multiplayer battles
  • Multi Customisation lets you customise the multiplayer mode, with changes to game rules, field and win/loss conditions and much more
  • Geo Cubes. These cubes have very special effects and are dealt equally to each player, use them carefully as they can both delight and infuriate
  • Shop and Share with Wireless Communication Mode, trade with friends and share your item data
  • Exclusive New Story. A dedicated story for Etna and an all-new ending if you defeat this mode
  • Guest Appearances - you never know who you'll run into next with hidden characters waiting to be unlocked
  • Disgaea DS is due for release on April 3rd 2009.

    Good news. Square seem to be loving the publishing lately, maybe us Europeans could be missing out on a lot less games in the future thanks to them.

    What are the chances of Square publishing Tales of Vesperia? Smilie

    Huh ? I thought it was already available, i just saw it in a local store on Monday, when i went to buy Chrono Trigger...

    Must have been an american import version then, but it would be surprising, this store usually never sells import games. Mmmmh...

    EDIT nevermind, i checked their websites, they were selling an import version (http://www.smartoys.be/catalog/disgaea-p-2000010010851.html)

    Fantastic game -- BUY IT!

    Finally. I was thinking about the PSP version.

    Wow April 3rd, I'm glad I got my copy early. BUY IT!

    Good news is Disgaea 2 is also being released on DS and PSP
