Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nippon Ichi (Disgaea 5 Complete) targeting Switch with new IPs and sequels

Disgaea 5 Complete has done quite well for Nippon Ichi. Since the game’s launch last year, it has sold 200,000 copies on Switch around the world.

That news comes directly from Sohei Niikawa, the president of Nippon Ichi. Niikawa also said that Switch is one of the platforms the company is targeting for new IPs and sequels this year.

NIS America will be hosting a press event next month. Brand new Switch announcements could be made there potentially, but localizations are more likely. NIS America could be bringing over Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story, which Nippon Ichi is releasing in Japan on March 8.

I look forward to more! Since NIS will localize. I have Lost Legion CE pre-ordered on Switch. Still, need to get Disgaea 5. Never played the series. Played a little of the demo but I was very confused.



That's pretty cool dood!



Good sales for Disgaea, another 3rd party Switch success.



Crossing my fingers for it being new games/projects or at least, ports of recent games. And if possible, NO ports.

It's basically in headline: "Switch is one of the platforms the company is targeting for new IPs and sequels this year".



They should do Danganropa

I know it’s a meme to say this, but that series would be a perfect fit on Switch.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

D5 was so full of charm! Happy to hear it has done well!
