Quote from: Nintendo Power

Nintendo Power: Do you see any advantages to making Dragon Quest on a home console again?

Yuji Horii: The next Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest X, will actually be released on Wii. I feel that some users will want to play Dragon Quest on the big screen, which is why we are working toward releasing it on Wii. Of course, in the future we might develop on handhelds again, so it's really a case-by-case basis. It all depends on what the customer wants at that time. Something else we hear is that players want a new Dragon Quest that follows the same system of Dragon Quest VIII, so that's something else we're taking into consideration while in development for a Dragon Quest on Wii.

Nintendo Power: Is development on Dragon Quest X proceeding smoothly?

Yuji Horii: All we can say is that development is going well and we're on the last parts of the game. We can't really share much else at this point, but by the end of this year we should be able to announce something regarding it.

Maybe he means the fiscal year for Square Enix? Not sure, but that ends tomorrow IIRC.

Well, I guess I'm not buying it then.

If it's anything close to VIII, allow me to lead the pointing and laughing at insanolord.

I just have no desire to play a game like Dragon Quest on anything other than a handheld.

We still don't know who's developing it, do we? Level 5 developed the VIII and IX.

WHAT? Dragon Quest fans don't want the series to change, and Square-Enix is more than happy to oblige them? Get out of town!

I'm glad to see that such a major game is still coming to Wii, though I can't bring myself to care about this game as someone who played through and finished DQ VIII and thought it was nothing special.

Sigh, not sure what to make out of this other than it's rough time of year to believe anything. Hense April's Fools Day. Recall all those Earth Bound ones a few years back. Fans ripped into them all excited just to be disappointed at the end.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:24:21 PM »

This is from Nintendo Power ymeegod. I don't think they would do this type of April Fools joke.

ymeegod · « **Reply #9 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:31:25 PM »

Actually it's a quote from Nintendo Power? Did anyone actual read it from the mag or just from the net? Earth Bound was the same, was plastered on the web as being a direct source from an upcoming Nintendo Power article which we only found out a month later didn't exist. Not that I fall for that sort of thing

I don't have a subscription to NP anymore so I can't comment. I'll go out some time tomorrow and look for a copy of the newest Nintendo Power to confirm. If someone has a NP subscription that can confirm let us know if this is factual.

I haven't played a Dragon Quest game since it was Dragon Warrior on the NES, so I might get this if it comes here. If it has an online mode then I'll definitely get it to play with my friend, but I highly doubt it will.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 01, 2011, 02:12:57 AM »

Just remember what tomorrow is... today for most of the world, but tomorrow here where I am at.

Mop it up · « **Reply #13 on:** April 01, 2011, 02:24:36 AM »

Yeah, I truly hate this day. I'm always weary of everything. But this is a pretty insignificant comment that they might announce something regarding the game by the end of the year, doesn't even say it'll be a release date. So if it is someone making it up then it's pretty lame.

Just so people know that they are still working on it.

Next year? Drat, I was hoping for a release this year. They sure are taking their sweet time with this game...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2011, 07:15:34 PM »

So is this going to end up like Dragon Quest VII which came out of the PS1 after the PS2 had already launched? Of course DQ VII was one of the bestselling games ever in Japan so maybe Square Enix isn't concerned about that.

Still sucks for Nintendo though. They needed something to prop the Wii up for a bit longer but this isn't going to come out until after the Wii no longer needs propping up. I doubt they expected this kind of timeframe when they made the original announcement.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 29, 2011, 07:22:53 PM »

It could double as a launch title for Cafe (exclusive content & upscaling), so maybe it'll be worth more late.

Stogi · « **Reply #18 on:** April 29, 2011, 09:52:58 PM »

This is a game that I would be very surprised to see Nintendo NOT try to upscale for their next system. It's exactly the type of game you'd want to launch with. Even a BC Bundle or something.

Mop it up · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2011, 06:08:06 PM »

Eh, Dragon Quest isn't about the visuals. It's been a late release on its system of choice as of recent, so the same logic of holding it off could have applied to them as well. Since it can likely still be played on the new system there isn't much reason to spend development resources on overhauling the game.

This x10! I bet Nintendo is pleading with SE to do this. This title, in Japan alone, will guarantee that Cafe would be sold out, with a major 3rd party game at the front of sales.

Maybe I'll actually be able to finish Dragonquest VIII by the time this comes out.

Wii Dragon Quest Collection Includes Dragon Quest X Footage
So you better buy that Collection if you want to be among the first to see what this game looks like
....or just wait till someone uploads it to youtube 45 minutes after release.

Square Enix announced a final release date and price for Wii's Dragon Quest Collection today. The compilation will arrive on September 15, priced ¥4,440.

Dragon Quest Collection is a compilation of the first three Dragon Quest games. The disc actually includes five games, the first three DQ games in their original Famicom form, and and the Super Famiciom Dragon Quest I&II and Dragon Quest III remakes.

Perhaps bigger news than the release date is one of the bonus goodies: a bonus video clip for Dragon Quest X! The DQX video will be included on the main game disc.

"bonus video clip for Dragon Quest X"

Falls down. You haven't even seen screenshots yet and now they are going give us a whole video now :0. Part of me wants it, part of me says not to get my hopes up.

Wonder what odds are people placing on it coming stateside?

Adrock · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2011, 02:12:34 AM »

Doesn't Nintendo publish Dragon Quest games in North America now? If so, the odds are pretty high.

Reggie: Sure, we'll be publishing another compilation of NES and SNES games.
Everyone: W-What about Xenoblade?
Reggie: What's a Xenoblade?
Everyone: O......kay.... what about The Last Story?
Reggie: **** off.
