Dragon Quest X - Megaton Non-Surprise!
« on: December 10, 2008, 12:37:49 AM »


~ Dragon Quest IX comes out on March 28th...
~ Dragon Quest X art/details come out in next week's Shonen Jump...
~ Dragon Quest IX DSi

Well that's pretty much it...I don't think any other info was revealed at Squenix's Dragon Quest press event, but I'll try and find some...

Now really, did anyone NOT see this coming?

OH SNAP!

Okay, back to fight or flight mode for me. I guess there's no sleep for me tonight. Now if only I could find an original source for a news story aside from "Bill Aurion on the fourums told me so....."

Wii is killing the other two consoles in its home country, where a clear majority of DQ sales are made...Not to mention that Yuji Horii has mentioned many times in the past that he'd love to develop for the Wii...

Well DQ:X on Wii means that Wii won Japan forever (even though it wasn't struggling there to begin with).

Nintendo just palmed Sony's face and pushed it away......... in Japan.

Now, if Chrono 3 would come out on the Wii, Nintendo will win everything everywhere all the time forever.

*shrug* Dunno. It's gonna be a struggle for the Wii to climb to 20 mil in Japan. I think lifetime sales might peter out below that, maybe 15 mil?

Amazing news. Though I have to wonder, since Wii sales will drop down to nothing because the fad nears a close, how will Square recoup their development costs? Don't they realize the Wii has NOTHING to look forward to and is being sold to local pawn shops all over the US?

DQ always goes to the most selling system.

I wonder which will come out first, DQX or FF13... I bet S-E are kicking themselves already over FF13.

But seriously, announcing X before IX is released?
