Today, Square Enix announced Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory, an adaptation of their popular arcade game. The Wii version supports multiplayer battles with up to four players and online card fights over Nintendo Wi-Fi. Players can use a nunchuck/remote or classic controller configurations.
Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory is due in stores this summer. A DSiWare utility called a “color code scanner” is also planned. This app allows players to scan physical cards, used for the arcade game, with their Nintendo DSi and transfer them into the Wii game.
video of the arcade version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3mLcd7WPVg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3mLcd7WPVg) (low quality)
and it's sequel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-YYvlAFAu4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-YYvlAFAu4) <--Watch this one!! (Does Pokemon Stadium look this BAD ASS?)
I haven't played a DQ game since the NES, and this game isn't likely to leave Japan, but if DQX for Wii has battle scenes that look anything like the arcade sequel, I would buy on Day 1.
Just check out some of these Special Attacks from the arcade sequel (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20761480&postcount=35)

So do you guys think the existence of this game supports DQX for Wii or do you think this game is a replacement for DQX which will probably show up on 3DS now?

You are right. That was an incredibly rude thing to say that totally ignored the effort BnM put into bringing this post to us here. I sincerely apologize.

Ahem, if I can interrupt the infighting for one minute, I think the guy on the right looks like a combination of Vega and Blanka amirite?

If it were, then why aren't you Community Manager? :P
Past holders of the position have included S-U-P-E-R and Crimm. I just can't compete with that. Pale's been doing a pretty good job of holding his own lately.
