Disgaea coming to PC in 2016

Disgaea PC

 

There has never been a better time to be a PC gamer than now, as the PC is finally starting to get the support it deserves from more and more developers that previously made games primarily for console. One of the more recent devs to make the jump is Nippon Ichi Software, Inc, who are best known for their Disgaea franchise, and their many assortment of JRPG type games. NIS America who prior to now has never had any of their titles on PC, is now following the path that others like Namco Bandai have paved, and begun the move to PC with their first PC port being from their Disgaea franchise. The game listed as Disgaea PC on steam is a port of the first Disgaea game, and is set to be released in February 2016. There is no price point yet for the title, but as this will be a remake of the first Disgaea game we expect that it won’t be any higher than $20 USD.
