Before the ink even had time to dry on the game's announcement for Japan, NIS America this afternoon confirmed plans to bring the Nintendo DS version of its popular turn-based strategy series Disgaea to North America this summer. While lacking a colorful title beyond the presumably tentative Disgaea DS, the game is nonetheless described as simply "a new edition" of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.NIS America promises "several key improvements" over 2003's PlayStation 2 original. However, the announcement also confirms our grumblings from earlier this week regarding the game being just another pass at the first game rather than a wholly new tactical strategy adventure, much like last year's Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for the PSP. Even so, given that the DS is practically tailor made for games of this type, Disgaea in any form feels like a natural fit for Nintendo's portable. We just hope the battery can hold out while we grind to level 9999.

I would assume that the reason they are remaking the first one is because its so much smaller then the second. Disgaea 1 is really a PS1 game... which made it perfect for PSP/DS generation (I think it was on a CD for PS2).
I played it on PS1 and now own it on PSP. I won't be getting it for DS because I already have it, but for those of you with both DS and PSP I would go with the PSP version. But if you don't have a PSP get the DS one, or skip ahead to Disgaea 2 on PS2 because its miles ahead of Disgaea 1 (graphics and gameplay).
