Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa recently did interviews with both 4Gamer and Famitsu. When speaking with both sites, he discussed among other things, Disgaea 5 Complete and Switch development.
With 4Gamer, Niikawa discussed porting from PS4 to Switch, and said tt was relatively smooth for Disgaea. He noted there was nothing NIS had to downgrade, and he stated that even in portable mode, the experience still remain same as PS4 version.
In his interview with Famitsu, Niikawa explained why Disgaea 5 was chosen as NIS’ first title. They felt it would be a big hurdle to bring out something completely new at launch and wanted to still make a big impression. Therefore, they chose a project which would be smooth to port.
Niikawa was asked if there were more Switch games planned and he responded with a firm yes. He then asked gamers to look forward to an announcement in the future.
