Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny announced (Switch/PS4, Switch Exclusive in the West, Summer 2021)
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Nintendo going moneyhat crazy today it seems.
Guess I'll just have to hope the Asian PS4 release has english options.

Damage caps in the previous game cap at 3 Trillion. So having it go to 1 Quadrillion or 999 Trillion just seems redundant.
The new level cap of 9 million though. Not that there is any semblance of balance, but this is like getting to DBZ power levels of nonsense now.
I remember there used to be old anime forum vs threads of people doing their fictional contest of who can beat Goku. I think it's gotten to the point that the Disgaea universe has been on that power scale for quite some time. I think some of the special attack animations in D5 and D4 involves the destruction of planets. One is basically a laser beam that causes the solar system to explode. Yeah it's basically DBZ level at this point.

Switch exclusive in the west is odd but I'm assuming Disgaea's sales on PlayStation outside of Japan have all but dried up?
They seemed very happy, and it was just a port with DLCs
And if NIS got a bit of a free marketing support out of it (even if only this spot in the direct) by making it 'exclusive' then it's win - win for them.
They'll localize the inevitable PS5 port.
I don't see how this is any worse than Sony moneyhatting Final Fantasy games so they don't come to Xbox and PC until a year after.
In the NoA version of the Direct they said it's exclusive and NISA would've mentioned on their social media or the games official website if it's coming to the PS5.
Maybe when they do the eventual complete version or something.
This is what I'm thinking as well. Sales of the Switch version of D5 exceeded the PS4 version and that was probably also the case for D4Complete and the D1 remake. It may have moved NIS to prioritize Switch over PS4/5 rather then being moneyhatted away.
Yeah it did 200k but that number was from 2 years ago.
But I'm puzzled as to why Nintendo would pay for exclusivity, unless it's NISA who approached them, referring to their comment about Sony not being friendly to small studios.
Perhaps it's true, the sales of the past games wasn't enough to justify all the cost associated to make it available on PS4 in the West.
A PS5 version would bring more people though, but it doesn't exist yet.
Personally I don't mind, I platinum-ed D5 on PS4 but every other games I played on portable anyway.
It's not... but there's a notable difference in reception as there's pretty much no complaining on Era when Nintendo makes with the moneyhats.
I mean, there's been pretty much non-stop crying across numerous threads about FFXVI since it was announced, but I've seen pretty much nothing over Nintendo moneyhatting TWO new Monster Hunter games and now this anywhere.
I've seen more posts cheering on Nintendo exclusivity in fact.
Yeah, it's not a localisation thing. NISA put forward making the physical version of SNK Heroines Switch exclusive in the West and Nintendo accepted. This is just the next step in that sort of deal.
It's the other way around. The Japan PS4 sales for D5 were really poor, but worldwide was strong.

It's kind of amusing to see people so worked up over Disgaea. Even on Era it feels like Disgaea is a very niche series.
The limited edition is up for preorder, but I'm on the fence about it. I don't want to spend so much money and the Ys IX limited edition is more appealing. Ugggghhh.

Do you even have any proof that Nintendo is paying this to be exclusive in the west?
Probably NIS doesn't want to release a PS4 SKU in the West in 2021 and will publish when there's Disgaea 6 Complete for Switch/PS4, yeah.
I mean, why would they not localize it in the west on PS4 outside of that?
Even if it were a digital only release, they will have the localization and port done already, it would barely cost them anything even if it doesn't do gangbusters.
Or Nintendo has a marketing agreement just like the did with nisa before. Not sure why people think Nintendo is averse to money hats.
Maybe they don't feel that localizing it in the west is worth the cost/resources considering how well Switch version sold in the west compared to the PS4?
So, no, you don't have any proof; just a predisposition of calling something a cunt without anything concrete to back it up.
I'm not the person you talked to. Jesus man. I didn't call anyone a cunt lol.
You mean the costs they are already paying for the switch release that they will probably use in the PS4 release in the English Asian version?
Hopefully the gameplay is changed up a bit beyond increasing numbers even higher. Not a fan of the 3d models, but if the rest of the game looks fresh enough I might bite.
The PS4 version did well overseas. It's the Japan PS4 release which did really poorly, so it makes no sense to do it the way they're doing it without a deal. Iunno why there's any doubt about this.
3D models look incredible.
I'm buying this day 1.
Also, I can't begin to explain the apprehension I feel with that level cap.

Why is everyone saying PS5, PS5, PS5 like it's guaranteed or something. Why would you make a game for a platform that AT BEST might have 15m sales by end of March 2021 (Sony's estimated production/sales of console from financial forecast and order numbers) when you can make it on a platform that has absolutely sold OVER 110m? Not to mention the PS5 does support BC with PS4 games?
