Asagi DLC & Disgaea Fans Raise Over 1 Million Yen For Earthquake ReliefAsagi may never get her own game, but she is a hero in her own right. To raise money for Tohoku earthquake relief, Nippon Ichi released a special version of Asagi as Disgaea 4 downloadable content. All of the proceeds from the 100 yen ($1.30) character would go towards reconstruction efforts.

 

Nippon Ichi announced Asagi raised 1,199,646 yen ($15,410), which means over 12,000 people purchased the DLC character. The publisher thanked everyone for their support and said all of the money will be donated under the name Disgaea fans.

    That’s just awesome… you did well, Asagi

    Too bad they didn’t do the same thing over here and charge for Asagi.  I wouldn’t have minded giving my money to Japan.

      I agree really. I mean, I like that I have HD Asagi for free, sure, but I wouldn’t have really minded sparing the money to get her either.

    • skyblaze

      That’s actually the first thing that cam to mind when I saw she was free. Wonder why Nisa didn’t do it… On another note, did anyone notice her Deadly Hurdle attack is a bit buggy? Maybe it was just me, but the enemy sprites looked off compared to the JP version

      I bet it’s her bad luck. The list goes on…..

      1. Had a game for her to appear as the main character, but all of a sudden, cancelled.

      2. Not a main character yet when she was suppose to be for a very long time.

      3. Cursed and transformed into a little version of herself. (Disgaea 2)

      4. Main character role finally given to her, only to have it stolen. (Disgaea 3)

      5. Got herself killed. (Prinny)

      6. Transformed into a Prinny and received her own mode……only to get killed in it. (Prinny 2)

      7. Only character with SD version. (Disgaea 4…..obviously)

      And now…..she finally got herself an HD version……..but for free in here, not getting herself paid…..

      Like I said, the list goes on for poor Asagi……….God, if you look at it, her luck is even worse than Axel’s. ಠ_ಠ

      • Locklear93

        Her luck is worse than Axel’s?  You’re implying Axel has BAD luck?  Anyone who crosses Rozalin, Adell, Fuka, Desco, AND Fenrich, and still has a functional body has some AMAZING luck. <_<

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/Kamek20xxExtra?feature=mhee Michael Stevens

          lol Okay then.

        • WilliamJasper

          No. Axel doesn’t need luck because he’s the manliest character in the game.

      • MCoelho

        Axel doesn’t have bad luck, he’s just an Axel.
        Anyone who played up to chapter 6 on Disgaea 4 will understand that! :D

    • Locklear93

      You still can.  NISA didn’t do the same thing with Asagi, but they’ve got a $1 donation to Japan in their store at (http://store.nisamerica.com/Home/Japan-Donation).

    A-SA-GI!

    Congratulations! I hope people will continue to donate though, because I think that Japan’s still in a terrible condition, despite how it looks so far (which it looks like they recovered pretty quickly, but…..).

    Nice Work Asagi 8D

    Asagi: Does that mean i get my own game :D?
    …Hahahaha one day…

  • theoriginaled

    Asagi is the best :3

  • Herok

    was the one released in japan for relief aid the same one we got for free otherwise i would gladly buy it later?

    • Kawashima

      Yeah its the same. Wouldnt have minded paying for her.

    • Methylene

      Yeah, I was actually disappointed that she was free here… as odd as this could sound.

  • kroufonz

    Good Job ASAGI

  • raymk

    ASAGI!!! ASAGI!!!!!

    Always bet on Asagi

  • aoihana

    This is an awesome gesture, and it’s great that all of the proceeds will be going towards the earthquake relief. 

    Happy to see an honest cause, unlike some of the shady breast cancer relief campaigns going on here. I swear, there has to be a crackdown on this, some of these products are very misleading.

  • Natat

    Nicely done Asagi, you shall always be a main character in our hearts <3

    As expected from my waifu!

    THIS IS THE CHOICE OF STEINS;GATE!!

      EH!?

      Hahaha……You and Steins;Gate, I swear. :3

      El, Psy, Congroo.

    You are the true unlosing ranger ASAGI

  • Ladius

    Ok NIS, now give Asagi her own game for a change :P … then again, that would ruin the ongoing joke, I suppose :

    • Locklear93

      That’s a running gag I could see go, honestly.  It’s not that I don’t like Asagi; it’s the opposite.  I feel bad for her, and really want the poor thing to legitimately get her game. :P

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ema-Rose/100000917800035 Ema Rose

    Asagi deserves her own game, what do you guys think?! :D Anyway, it`s awesome that NIS raised lots of money for the Earthquake Relief!

  • Learii

    NIS its the best <3 i hope they make her own game as well
