Back in April of this year, Nippon Ichi and NIS America revealed the original Disgaea game would be receiving a HD makeover to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the strategy RPG series.
NIS America has now confirmed Disgaea 1 Complete will arrive on Nintendo Switch on 9th October. There’s a trailer to coincide with the announcement, providing a brief rundown about the game’s quirky characters and universe.
As previously noted, the remaster will include extra characters not found in the original release. You’ll be able to play through the main story or the Etna Mode, and get lost in the Item World for hours on end.
Preorders for the game are now open. There is a standard release and Rosen Queen’s Finest Edition for $99.99 / £89.99, including a hardcover art book, soundtrack, Prinny Cube plush and plenty of other goodies.
So doods, will you be picking up Disgaea 1 Complete when it arrives on the Switch this October? Tell us in the comments.

Dood sweet
Get ready? That's 4 months away.
Aw dood
you know Disgaea was never in my radar. until i saw gameplay of it, and it looked interesting to play! very excited to try this game out!
Definite buy, D5 was a great strategy title. But this just reminds me I really need to go back to it as I'm nowhere near completion.
Might pick this up if I am not already broke by then.
Why was this not in the Direct? Just another example of the great quality Switch’s lineup in the second half of the year... that their presentation didn’t focus on at all.
@LegendOfPokemon Cause it was already announce before it, just without a release date yet.
Oh wow, They just sending this out to die in OCT. It will get lost with all the heavy hitters on that month. I guess it will have some hope on Switch.
Uh oh, I've still got to finish Disgaea 5.
That mouse pad... Isn't Etna supposed to be flat? Perhaps that's the joke.
Just completed 5 for the switch and just bought 3 and 4 for the psvita and 2 for the ps2. Bring it on, dood!
awesome dood but dont forget if you dont say dood you doom everyone here to be sent back to the prinny rehabilitation camp to be reprogrammed and no sardines for us dood.
YES! I dropped 200 hours in Disgaea 5. Looking forward to playing this!
Still slowly chipping away at D5 (the only game in the series I've played). Love the actual gameplay and the depth, sort of can't stand the story/characters/voice acting... but the former is good enough to help me endure the latter.
Never played this series but was tempted to pick up 5. Now I can start at the beginning.
Best part of the DS version was the prinny commentary. Can it be done with just the one screen? If so, count me in (again!)
I'm hyped! 😄 I loved Disgaea 5 for the Switch and I have a feeling I'll love this too. The only problem is that I'm not sure whether or not I'll be able to afford all these awesome games coming in the final quarter of the year. Maybe I had better start doing some extra hours in work now and start saving 😅
If i play through 5 will 1 still be fun?
@scubydo I'd say so if you enjoyed the story (the first one still has the strongest story of the series in my opinion) although unless they've brought the mechanics up to 5's standards you may find it less deep to play
I hope NIS re-release all the classics on Switch. I'd love to replay through all 4 (and D2) as playing 5 on the go felt so right Makki Kingdom and Phantom Brave would be a nice sight too
Hero of love and courage, Justice Flonnnnnne! Dood!
@scubydo That should be a perfectly good way to start. This seems to be a remake of 1 using Disgaea 5 engine with it's quality improvements to the series thus far.
Plus, in terms of story, Disgaea 5 is a prequel to the rest of the series.
Cool dood. That’s one hell of a special edition too dood.
@riChchestM The mousepad is flat, and I think it's absolutely hilarious.
I believe Valkyria Chronicles 4 is coming in October, among a few other games. Gonna be a great month for RPGs
That mousepad is hilarious. I'll check it out if it's cheap, not dropping full price on a fifteen year old game though.
Dang, that plushie is adorable. Not $100 adorable but the mousepad DOES bring it closer... still not enough though.
Dood! I want to level all the characters dood!
Prinny assist trophy for Smash Ultimate dood! That would rock dood!
As much as I love Disgaea I may have to hold out for a price drop for either the PS4 or Switch version.
Seriously bummed that this going for £50.
@ALinkToThePasta The story of D5 was pretty off-putting to me too when i played through it, the endless nattering about a super-extra-special move felt pretty lame to me, but i finished Disgaea 1 way back on the PS2, it has a way better and funnier story, if D1C has the quality-of-life improvements D5 brought, it’s a must-buy for me!
@MysticX Good to hear, thanks! I'll look forward to checking out D1C, then.
