This week at the Makai Wars Live concert, Nippon Ichi teased that they would announce a few games that "fans have been asking for".

Criminal Girls INVITATION is set for release this winter, with Disgaea 4 Return slated for next year.

Great news, I hope D4R is released before the summer in the west.

People were asking for Criminal Girls?

Well, if the game and characters got as high as they did on the polls, there must be a fanbase. Still...Criminal Girls...

Still, I'm definitely excited for the Asagi game and while I think it's still too early to be releasing a port, I'm looking forward to what they may add in Disgaea 4 Return.

I'm pretty iffy on D4R. It just seems like this is a bit to early. It kinda feels like I bought the original version for nothing now, plus it hasn't even had the time to fade into memory. Hopefully they will add a lot of new stuff into D4R to justify buying it. However to be honest if they can do the high definition sprites on the Vita then what is the point of getting the console versions anymore?

Looking on Wikipedia, Disgaea 4 Returns actually still keeps the pattern of the series having a portable re-release three years after the original comes out:

Disgaea: PS2 (2003), PSP (2006)
Disgaea 2: PS2 (2006), PSP (2009)
Disgaea 3 PS3 (2008), PSV (2011)
Disgaea 4: PS3 (2011) PSV (2014)

I think the reason why it feels so early is because with the first three titles the newest installment was either very close to release or was finishing up development. Disgaea 4 seems to be different because we haven't actually seen anything from Disgaea 5 due to all the 20th Anniversary stuff.

i have mixed feelings on d4r

i bought d3 on vita just to enjoy the new stories and get all the dlc i didnt wanna drop 50 bucks for to get the dlc ending..

they would have to add a good bit for me to bite on this one though.

but the Asagi project has me intrigued maybe Makai Wars is going to happen!
