This is another one of those PocketGamer Rumour Miner announcements, so take it with the appropriate grain of salt. Here's the gist: More info here. On a personal note, I have it for the PSP and though I can't deny it's a good game, it just didn't click for me -- something about the overall ironic tone, perhaps. I'm sure other folks will be plenty excited, though. BTW, recent Rumour Miner columns have also mentioned iPhone versions of: * Devil May Cry * Dante's Inferno * Suikoden Tactics For what it's worth, they were right Rage for iPhone/iPad.
Disgaea is one of my favorite games of all time so this would be fantastic if it was true. I own all versions and next to the Monster Hunter games it has the most play time out of all my PSP games. Unfortunately it has been a long time since I've played them since I've kind of played them to death however, I would still get this version just to support the possiblity of future ports.
I'm MUCH more interested in Suikoden - actually they could probably port Suikoden 1 and 2 over - they were just Playstation 1 games, and they would both be awesome for the iPhone / iPad... 108 stars FTW...
You had my hopes up Square, but as soon as I read 'Pocketgamer Rumor Mine' I pretty much gave up hope. Still, what an awesome SRPG if it ever did come to the iDevice.
I believe I started the OP with the source . Didn't want to mislead anybody. That said, The Rumor Mine did get the Rage story right, so I think there's a little hope here.
What he said Still have all the Nippon Ichi games from PS2 and would buy them again in a heartbeat to play on the iphone.
Not to mention that they did predict that there would be a sequel to Gangstar, although they did get the setting wrong. Close enough, I guess. That said, I'm hoping that Disgea does get ported. I've never actually played a game from the series before, but I've always wanted to give it a shot, and I think an App Store port would be the perfect time to do so. For that exact reason, I'm hoping that they one day port a Shin Megami Tensei game.
My heart almost stopped when I saw this thread. I'm a bit disappointed it's only a very vague rumor, but hey, I really want to believe it. I absolutely loved this game every time and everywhere I've played it, and while I agree that the ironic tone of the game can be a bit tiresome, the gameplay mechanics are so deep that it makes for one of my favorite games of all time. Yeah, me too. Here's to hope...
I think the thread title would be a lot less misleading if you put a question mark at the end. No offense, but the Pocketgamer Rumor Mine isn't much of a source. Now if the Rumor Mine itself had sources for its rumors, that would be great.
Android release Disclaimer: This is not news about an iOS release, but it certainly is a step in the right direction. Mugen Makai Disgaea was just recently released for Android. It contains only the Item World, which is randomly generated levels within items (if you beat parts of it, it upgrades your item, and unlocks powers for it). It's currently only available in Japanese, through the GMO Game Center app, but it's FREE, so go ahead and try it out. It works great for me, although I can't understand any of the Japenese. No news on an iOS version, or even an English version, but it seems Nippon Ichi is certainly aware of the popularity of mobile phone devices, so chances of a release are better than none!

It's disappointing it's not the entire game and just the item world, but its a start. I wonder how long it will take them to make the English version for the android? I would imagine it would be at least a year or two if they ever decide to port this to iOS devices. For now, I'll just play the full version on my PSP and DS.
