NIS America to fix Disgaea 2 save error with free DLC

by Andrew Yoon { Sep 17th 2009 at 9:15PM }

"If you save now, your save data will be saved in the state in which you cannot use the DLC."

This error message has been scaring off players that picked up Disgaea 2 for PSP. However, NIS America admits that this error message is unwarranted, and "the message will appear regardless of whether or not the current saved data contains DLC." Players are encouraged to simply ignore the error. "Our investigation has revealed that this message will not harm your game play experience with Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days or any future Downloadable Content offerings."

There will be a fix to this error, but it won't be available until late November. According to NIS, the company plans on making the first DLC for Disgaea 2 -- Sapphire from Disgaea 3 -- free for all users due to the "distress and confusion" caused by the error. Until then, players will have to continue their journey through the game, ignoring the save error along the way.

Toro and Kuro join Disgaea 2 as DLC

by Andrew Yoon { May 26th 2009 at 1:00PM }

American audiences will be able to enjoy the PSP enhanced version of Disgaea 2 later this year. However, gamers in Japan are already getting ready for some free (and paid) DLC content for the game. As usual, Nippon Ichi is preparing post-release DLC. The most surprising addition to Disgaea 2 comes through a collaboration with Sony: Mainichi Issho's Toro and Kuro can both be added to the game. The two Sony mascots are relatively unknown here in the States, but the felines are quite beloved by players on the other side of the pond. The two cats will be ready to hand special items to players, so keep an eye out for them!

It would be nice if NIS America decided to include this DLC content as part of the retail release in the States. However, considering the DLC for Disgaea 3, that's unlikely. To see the other DLC characters, visit PSPHyper.

Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days coming to PSP this year

by Andrew Yoon { May 8th 2009 at 12:16AM }

The PSP enhanced port of Disgaea 2 will be getting a US release this year. Dark Hero Days will feature all the content of the original SRPG, but will add new story chapters, a new main character and additional skills, items and side characters. New battle features introduced in Disgaea 3 will also be transplanted into this portable game.

While the game's trailer specifically states a Summer release, the press release says the game will release in the Fall. Either way, you'll be able to play the game this year. Keen observers will see a PlayStation Network icon at the end of the trailer -- could this title be digitally distributed?

The ESRB-watching sleuths at Siliconera have discovered a listing for the upcoming PSP version of Disgaea 2. Titled Dark Hero Days, the PSP version of this popular SRPG features a number of enhancements over the original PS2 release. There will be an additional story line featuring the dark hero Axel, and new gameplay elements have been added, such as Magichange and "peta magic." Additional characters and classes will also be introduced, including Prism Red, Sabre Cat and Angel Soldiers.

Disgaea 2 port features tons of enhancements

Considering the effort that was put into the first Disgaea game on PSP, it's no surprise that so much is being added in the upcoming PSP port of Disgaea 2. Nippon Ichi's cult SRPG hit will be getting all sorts of new content. Players can expect a new chapter for Axel, and new party members. There's new weapons skills for the bow and the spear, and a new magic spell.

In addition to the added content, the PSP version of Disgaea 2 will also feature enhancements to the gameplay to make it easier to play on the go. Your characters will be able to move faster than before, and menus will be adjusted to make it easier to find characters, items and magic. A new camera system will also be implemented.

All in all, it looks like PSP fans are in for a treat. Check out the official Japanese site for screenshots.

Yep, Disgaea 2 is coming to the PSP

by Alan Tsang { Dec 28th 2008 at 5:45PM }

Ah, so the rumors were true. Nippon Ichi has announced that Disgaea 2 will be headed for the PSP on March 26th in Japan. This upcoming portable version of the SRPG will feature a 30% longer story as well as new characters. A screenshot also suggests that the Magichange system found in Disgaea 3 will be added to the port, but this has not been officially announced. No word yet on a stateside release, but we see no reason why there wouldn't be one.

Rumor: Disgaea 2 port coming to PSP

by Andrew Yoon { Dec 19th 2008 at 3:03PM }

NIS is a big fan of the PSP. Not only did it port the original PS2 Disgaea onto the PSP, it's bringing over a brand new platformer starring Prinny. However, fans of the Disgaea series may have more to look forward to. Hong Kong games magazine GameWave is reporting that a PSP version of Disgaea 2 will be available on March 26th in Japan. Because Nippon Ichi hasn't officially announced the game, we're going to mark this as a rumor. Let's hope this one comes to fruition.
