Disgaea Set For US, More Details Arrived

Recently announced for Japan, NIS America now announced that Disgaea: Hour of Darkness will also be released in the United States. Update Apparently we forgot to include the screenshots... Sorry.

NIS America announced that a new edition of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness will be released for the Nintendo DS. In order to fully utilize Nintendo DS's capabilities several key improvements will be made to the user interface and game system. Disgaea for the Nintendo DS will arrive in North America in the summer of 2008.

Disgaea's game system is simple yet addictive. It has the same basic concept as other strategy RPGs, but uses many unique features and enhancements that make this game unprecedented. The following are some of the special features of Disgaea DS:

• Geo Panels : A group of stat altering elemental properties that are placed upon certain stat parts of the battlefield. When there are one or more colored panels on the battle grid, it means an element can affect that area. The effect can boost or reduce your unit's stats.
• Geo Cubes : A new addition to the PSP version, Geo Cubes are magic items that add more depth to multi-player battles. You can use the various Geo Cubes to enhance your abilities, summon monsters, or even attack your enemies with them.
• Demon Gadgets : Randomly generated items that appear on the battlefield. By acquiring these gadgets, you can power-up your units. Some demon gadgets can level your unit up by 30 levels at once.
• Transmigration : A form of reincarnation that allows you to start over from level 1, but your unit will grow stronger than before.

Update Apparently we forgot to include the screenshots... Sorry.

  I'm not bothered that its a remake. I've never been able to play a Disgaea game because I no longer have a PS2 and I don't own a psp. And plus... I need something to play on my ds. Haven't played it properly since I completed Zelda before xmas. Still trying to decide on whether or not to get DQM: Joker or FFCC: Rings of Fate. Any suggestions?

  Dragon Quester Monsters is a time consuming game; it is built just like a standard DQ game. It would take lots of hours to level up a character and enemies are always stronger than you are. But that's where the fun is in RPG. FFCC is a pretty decent action RPG. But due to the fact that some path of the dungeon can only be accessed by a certain class, so you won't be able to experience the full game unless you play co-op mode.

  Thnx for that LeSomeGuy. I may end up getting both but the fact that I won't be able to access certain parts of levels in FFCC has slightly put me off. Already set to get No More Heroes and Fire Emblem this friday so I may pick up DQM as well.
