IDK.. but as soon as me and my friend heard that they were publishing Rhapsody on the DS… we freaked! Hopefully the people that missed out on rhapsody when it was on the PS will get to experience its RAW PWR!!!! lmao.. Kinda worried that the graphics r going to be cutback.. as well as the songs… so far i havent found any good vocals on a handheld… unless you can count the cute little singing on Patapon for the PSP… So far however i cant find much on the web about it…. Send me a link maybe?

Interested in both as well! I want to play Disgaea for the post-game stuff I wasn’t able to do on the PS2 since I share it with bro. On the DS, I’ll be able to do it whenever I want. I might get Rhaspsody first since I haven’t played it yet.

I still have a big soft spot for Rhapsody on PS1. The question that remains to be answered is: will it still have the English songs from the original? I thought they were pretty charming… I still listen to the CD every now and then. For that matter, another question is: will it be a new text translation? It was one of my favorite earlier Atlus translations, along with Tail Concerto.

It’s good to hear that a number of Siliconera readers are interested in both. I just hope this isn’t a premature nail in the coffin for future Marl Kingdom localizations. I mean most people don’t even know there are other games they missed on.

Well I’ve had enough of Disgaea to last me a lifetime. This is the game I’m getting!!!

I will be getting both perhaps, but I might just get Rhapsody incase the port of the disgeae suffers from big slowdowns and its version is inferior compared to the other ports,

Hmmmm, that’s an odd plan. I’m planning on getting both, but depending on funds I may be getting them at separate times. Rhapsody will take precedence of course because it needs all the help it can get. I really want to see the rest of the Marl Kingdom games get translated.

Hopefully they change their minds and space out the releases.

If you’re like me you’d get both – hit two birds with one stone! Save a couple bucks on gas/shipping money! But that’s just me . . .

Unless they were planning on some kind of promotion or discount price, or something – I don’t know why they would set the releases like that. The only way I could see Rhapsody really getting a chunk of sales by itself would be because Disgaea already has an established base on two other systems and so I wouldn’t expect -that- many people quickly flocking to get a copy right away and take a look at NIS’s other series.
Then again, that base could be so established that they just might as well pick up Disgaea DS.

Who knows, but it’s very interesting.
