Disgaea 7 Complete Is Launching Exclusively On Switch 2 In The West

And like everyone that's not Xseed it's Digital only. Well that's a shame

This is good news that Nis America are supporting the NS2, hopefully they will do a NS2 version of Trails beyond the horizon which is supposed to come out this autumn.

I'm in. Day 1. Is this comment long enough?

One more good reason to buy a Switch 2.

I would have expected NISA to take the XSEED/Marvelous USA route and put this on a game card but maybe charge a little more.

Banking on Switch 2 exclusivity but then using a game key card seems counter productive to me.

@xenobladexfan Hopefully Falcom is more aggressive with Switch 2 out of the gate then they were with Switch 1. I really wish they had announced a Switch 2 version of Trails 1st Chapter remake.

Thats a dang dang shame, disgaea 5 was my favourite game previous era. But no physical is no buy. Man i hate this!

Nice! Glad I waited.

@TheExile285 I agree, fortunately they seem to have early access to the hardware as YS Proud Nordics is coming to Japan version on the console next month.

Wow. Everyone must really want to be in the ground floor for Switch 2, and Nintendo definitely knew the power they held in negotiations.

I always like to hold off for the Complete versions before buying Disgaea games, so this is great news!

Nice that its a Switch 2 exclusive as a key card. Lovely.

I guess the more things change, the more things stay the same.

is this worth 80 or 70 doll hairs?

Do we get a cheap upgrade package for owning the S1 version with all its dlc?

@JohnnyMind Dear, dear Johnny,

Seeing as I have read plenty ofnyour comments detailing your, quite frankly, insane backlog, let me tell you something...

Do NOT, under ANY circumstance, plan to play Disgaea 1 to 6 first before this one.

These games are EASILY 100+ hours per game, 200+ if you want to do a lot of the added content. These games are ridiculous. Leveling up your characters to level 999, your ITEMS to level 999, trust me, you do not want to get started on that.

Buy this game if you want, but expect a TIME sink. Also, there are cameos but the stories aren't that connected. You can easily start with 7.

I have the Switch 1 version, and Disgaea 7 has been sitting on my "try it out on the Switch 2 sooner or later" list. Don't remember how much of the DLC I have, as I didn't play very far into it, but it'd be pretty nice if Switch 2 enhancements trickled into the Switch 1 versions in some way or another as part of this release.

Why are people even buying the original release of Disgaea at this point. There's always a compelte edition about 2 years later.

@JohnnyMind if you plan on playing the series, don't worry about the people saying that they're 200 to 400 hours of content. As someone who played most of them only with the main Story (except for Disgaea 1 and 2), they're amazing games even without the optional stuff.

I would almost say that the post-game is extremely overrated, as it's just you grinding for 190 hours to get insane stats on everything and 10 hours of actual maps with optional Bosses.

"The game will include all previously released DLC and bonus content, plus additional story content, and a new playable character"

Now that's the kind of "Switch 2 version" I can humour.

If it was all on the cartridge then I would have bought it but this simple game key card mess is making me feel like gaming is going in the wrong direction. A game is meant to enjoyed and shared with friends etc. This Digital future of essentially renting the games vs owning them will push people to hit the 7 seas because if buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing lol.

i originally skipped it. 6 was so meh that it turned me off to the series. i'll give this a shot though

Game-Key Card meh. Move along.

@tonyp1987 : Nintendo are doing a fantastic job of pushing us toward handheld PCs instead. If we aren't going to be granted the option to own our games anymore, then we may as well gravitate to a platform where we can.

Already ordered. Hope it's not a key-card.

I remember looking up a review that said the translation was pretty bad and plenty of abilities etc. were mistranslated, so you'd have to trial and error to see which abilities stacked or how they actually worked.
Have they actually fixed these issues?
I hope so, it's bad enough they make you buy DLC of all the previous characters in every entry whether or not they have the models and stuff ready. At least in Complete versions you get everything at once.
And Disgaea games are certainly timesinks, but you get a lot just from doing the story. Having the DLC chapters and characters in Disgaea 5 Complete was a very welcome bonus though!

@Zeeba It is.

@xenobladexfan this is bad news the last time they did this it wad on switch with the previous game and it was a failure 😅

If it’s another dumb key card, I’m not paying full price for that joke. I’ll grab it heavily discounted from the store in five years.

It's a Key-Card Crap show.. Next

I found 7 mostly forgettable.

Everyone keeps complaining about game key card release, but it seems like almost everyone have missed a crucial point – will the localization will be available on other platforms? It's a disgusting move to make platform specific localizations.
«Experience the definitive version of Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, only on the Nintendo Switch 2. Includes all DLC and bonus content!»
What a blatant lie. Disgaea 7 Complete was released before on Switch, PS4, and PS5, only in Japan. It's even mentioned in the article, lol.

Game key card, meh

@AgentMantis 7 was way more fun that 6, but I liked 1, 3 and 5 more.

They hadn't said anything about it being a game key card yet so let's hope it isn't.

@SillyG even digital games are not even yours 100%. You are buying the license to use the games. If this is the future I see alot of pirates sailing the 7 seas lol

@Sindayl it is. @NintendoLife failed to mention that. Should probably start checking official shops for that info

@Deerock69 no

@Vyacheslav333 Just so you know both Disgaea 6 & 7 Complete were both released for Switch in Japan but only as digital download. Both did not have a physical release but their base versions does have physical releases and you could just buy all the DLCs for them on the eShop so it's technically like a complete version. The Switch 2 version will have everything the 7 Complete version got as well as a few additional contents, a new playable character plus better graphics and that's it.

Good and bad news. This game should have a physical version.

Could probably copy the sentence above and paste it randomly ,every week, for eternity.
Physical media died way sooner than expected.

Game key card? No thanks. Was gonna buy this, but absolutely not supporting this ***** practice.

@Serpenterror And? On Switch, PS4, and PS5 Disgaea 7 Complete is still exclusive to Japan, available only in Japanese, and it's a bad thing.

I suppose it's unlikely that there will be a way to upgrade the original game to 7 Complete?

This game is like 6gb on the switch 1 card. No excuse for this to be a game-key card and I hope people don't support it.

@dartmonkey Apologies if that came off as rude, but I felt it was something to keep an eye on, especially for niche franchises that thrive off of that loyalty. that's all

@CactuarDavid Seems to be the case, sadly.
@ottoecamn I mean, they want to make a platform specific localization – only for Switch 2. While Western users of Switch 1, PS4, and PS5 will be left with nothing. It's a disgusting move that shall not be supported.

@Vyacheslav333 do we know what that "platform specific" localization entails? (as it, is it more faithful... or are they "localizing it" even more than before).

@ottoecamn By «platform specific» I meant that they want to make localization exclusive to Switch 2, as they've announced it themselves.
While Switch 1, PS4, and PS5 Western/European users will be left without Disgaea 7 Complete – Asagi DLC and new story content.

@Vyacheslav333 wait, you theres new DLC That'll only be on Switch 2? (As in, the location is available on all platforms in japan but not in other parts of the world?)

@ottoecamn Yes?
Asagi and story DLCs were released exclusively for Japan in 2023, also with the Disgaea 7 Complete as a separate purchase option.
And now, Nippon Ichi Software wants to sell Disgaea 7 Complete "exclusively" on Switch 2. They are blatantly lying about it being a Switch 2 exclusive. They are disgusting and liars.
