The original Disgaea is being remastered for PlayStation 4, and it's heading to North America and Europe this Fall. Titled Disgaea 1 Complete, it'll feature enhanced graphics and a new 'Etna Mode' which stars new characters. It'll also support both English and Japanese voice-overs.
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness launched on the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2003, and it's still considered by many to be one of the very best entries in the series. No doubt fans will be happy to see the adventures of Laharl get the remaster treatment.

Great game, played this on the psp, will be tempted by a remaster.
Time to put NIS America's statements the other week to the test. Interesting to see how this one sells, definitely a cult favourite.
Very glad to see it come West as well though that NIS America store bundle is all kinds of wth.
Disgaea 1 had a good balance of stupid and serious, and it was less mechanically involved than subsequent games, which made it a lot less overwhelming. I hated the fact that it was so easy to lock yourself out of the good ending in the PSP version, though. Hopefully they've improved this aspect of the game.
Nice! Will definitely pick this up.
Would like to see all the games make the jump over eventually. It's easy money for NIS. I'll buy them all .
1. Does this mean NISA and Sony are still friends?
2. Will it be available to pre-order on Amazon (seriously guys, sort it out!!!)
awesome news
@Rob_230 i hope so, i'm just waiting for God of War to be released and then i'm going to check if you can buy it or not because it could just be pre-ordering that's the issue
Oooh sounds great, more of them please.
@FullbringIchigo fingers crossed thats the issue. It just feels like amazon are trying to strong arm Sony over the size of their cut from each unit sold, or the amount they need to pay for their shipment/allocation of units
@Rob_230 perhaps after all you can still order other PS4 games
I will buy this
They crazy charging $50 for this. Probably just the old updates Steam version that was $15 dollars
Great game, I don't want to replay it though since I already finish it.
@Agramonte Really? I though it's $30-$40. They should remaster disgaea 1-4 and sold it for $60 rather than sells one game for $50.
@wiiware that is what IGN is reporting. $50 regular and $100 for the LE

Yeah, for a physical collection in a box set ill pay it.
@Agramonte It's a full remake
Dear Lord, again with price complaints and surreal implications of expiry or deterioration in interactive Fiction. It's a 2002 tactical RPG with ridiculous amounts of native gameplay plus the stuff once exclusive to previous ports like Disgaea DS, all in one package, with souped-up resolution for videophiles - what is supposed to be too old for the full price here? At a lower one, NIS might as well continue selling the PSP version.
Good news overall, but with all the buzz here, I can only imagine what the respective Nintendo Life comment section will look like tomorrow. :V
Already Preordered ;D
One of my favourite ps2 games...if they updated the gameplay to be more in line with d5, I will buy it.
That collector's edition is mine
@Agramonte The special edition looks nice, I want the plushy
@Rob_230 UPDATE the game is in fact up for sale on Amazon so they are still selling them, you just can't pre-order them
that's strange
@wiiware I know... It should be its own item!
@Storytime7 it is just the PC HD background and updating the character models to Disgaea 5 levels.
For $10 more you can get any of the new AAA games on the PS4 schedule - like Dragon Quest.
This will be half off by Black Friday like D5 got cut from $59 to $25 on Switch Last year.
$50 for just the first game? I'll be waiting for BF 2018 sales assuming they don't announce a collection with the other games by then.
