Alternate ending suggests potential Disaster sequel [update]
[Update: Thanks to some of our commenters, we now have a better idea what's going on here. This is the introduction to an unlockable shooting minigame, rather than an unused ending. So instead of a lead-in to a sequel that won't happen, it's just a video from a game whose sequel won't happen.]
WARNING: If you don't want to spoil the incredibly obvious storyIine of Disaster: Day of Crisis, do not watch this video. We've put it after the break in case you don't want the game's epic plot ruined by even one preview frame.
It seems that Nintendo and Monolith Soft may have seen sequels in Disaster: Day of Crisis's future. Unfortunately, they didn't foresee the biggest disaster of all -- the release of Disaster: Day of Crisis, which turned out to be a powerful bomb capable of creating a sales vacuum.
Even though this clip, found in the game's theatre, creates a clear opening for a sequel, we wouldn't hold our breath in anticipation of the continued adventures of Raymond Bryce and his ornate beard. For one thing, this is just an extra video and not the real ending. Also, obviously, game companies prefer to make money. However, it's pretty entertaining to see the jokey, ham-fisted manner in which they teased a sequel.

Doubtful. It bombed in two regions to fail to even get released in the 3rd. I would even put Monolith's future with Nintendo in doubt at this point

It's just an intro movie of a shooting gallery.
I still don't understand why the sales are so low...
This game is so freaking awesome!!

What's this about a storyIine?

...and why is NOA suddenly powerless to rerecord the dialogue? When we have so few 'gamer' games coming out of NOA it is really disappointing that they won't even put out what they have.

Why rerecord it when it's ALREADY in English.
NoA is just being stupid.
I fear this is another Beyond Good & Evil.
Worth the buy, but gets no support from it's creators.
And even worse the BG&E, it probably won't be sold in some parts of the world is should.

This is what I originally thought, but its not.
If you start a new game with your completed save game file, play through the game a bit until you can get to the option screen with all the increase stats/buy guns section and enter the gun range. There is a new mini gun game called "Space" You basically have to blow up an asteroid before it hits Earth. When you start this level this video shows up at the beginning.
And regardless of what people have been saying Disaster may not be great, but it's still a lot of fun to play.

So, no sequel then. Actually, i'm relieved, because, i don't see much material for a sequel, unless there is a mayor world disaster, and you have to take multiple roles on multiples places on earth (mostly were earth fractures are, like Tokyo and Los Angeles).
Still, i'd like to see Ray on another game. I liked the guy
