The North American version of the DLC was released around November 25, 2009. However there were various errors with the DLC. All the characters (except for Dark Eclair, Gig and Miabel) were released at the same time. Further more, many characters suffered from gameplay glitches such as Clips, Chirps and Buzzes as voices, Severely hampered range with their Exclusive Special Attacks, Cut In Graphic Glitches and various other problems. Also, the DLC Cutscenes were also messed up, having characters appear in the cutscenes that the player doesn't have at the moment. The following week, the DLC was removed from the PlayStation store so the errors could be fixed.
As of 1/7/2010, the DLC is once again available. Pleinair and Sapphire are free, while the rest are $1.99. Dark Eclair, Miabel and Gig are all missing however, and besides various changes, the DLC characters have had voice clips cut completely. Other than that, they now seem to work properly.
On 5/5/2010, the DLC was made available to European players. Prior to this date no information available about it being released was given. As with the USA Store, Pleinair and Sapphire are free, while the rest are priced at £1.59 or €1.99 depending on the local currency. Also like the American Store, Dark Eclair, Miabel and Gig are missing in this first wave.
Trivia[]
- Once Adell becomes a senator, you can pass bills that allow you to see trailers for other Nippon Ichi games. The first bill is proposed by Aramis and lets you view the trailer for Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? for the PSP. The second bill is proposed by Mao and lets you view the trailer for Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for the PS3. The last bills are proposed by Overlord Badman and lets you view the trailer for Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? and Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! 2: Time To Tighten Up Security!, both for the PSP. These bills will always be passed unless you decide to go uber crazy and try to kill everyone with Adell.
- Text explaining that the user should play in certain conditions on the TV was poorly edited, the mention of the TV was replaced with screen, but the appearance is not synchronized with the fading of the screen.
- The Disgaea 2 PC Version of this game still uses the "Cursed Memories" logo in the intro, despite containing all features from the Dark Hero Days version.
