Questing on two different platforms might be a real possibility.

Dragon Quest X might include Wii U feature support, according to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada. The company had already announced that Dragon Quest X is coming to Wii.
In a shareholder’s meeting yesterday, Wada was questioned on the motivation behind delivering the game for Wii when the system is past its prime. The CEO responded that the company is seeing whether the game can be made compatible with both Wii and Wii U systems and is currently doing technical investigations into Wii U support.
Wada was also asked if he expects the Wii ports of Dragon Quest 1, 2 and 3 to sell since they are each straight ports of the Famicom and Super Famicom versions. He responded that they were being left as-is in order to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary.
Dragon Quest is a highly successful RPG game that has been around since the late 1980s.
I think many of us called DQX forward compatibility a long time ago.
Now hopefully Nintendo does the right thing with BC compatibility and allows for native HD rendering of Wii games and we could have an HD DQX when played on a WiiU that also takes advantage of some WiiU features.
DQX is gonna be a big seller no matter what. They might as well also make it a reason for Non-Wii owners to purchase a WiiU instead for bonus features and turn late adopting hold-outs into early adopters instead.
I think it was Reggie that answered the "upscaling" question, but it sounded like he didn't fully understand what was being asked. But upscaling is not what I'm talking about anyways.Yes, from what we can tell. Its to the point where you have to setup the Wireless for DS games seperately. Streetpass does not work in DS mode. It throws you to the DS OS when you do Download stations so it becomes a DS for all intents and purposes and the Circle Pad become a D-Pad for all intents and purposes.
We know the hardware isn't finished yet and things are still evolving, so it may not be too late for Nintendo to decide that they don't want the WiiU to just downclock and shut most of it's features off to go into a "Wii mode" like the Wii did for the GC.
How does the 3DS handle DS games? does it revert into a DS mode for games making all other 3DS stuff (such as multi-taksing & friends list) disabled? Because if that's the case, then forward compatible may not even be an option.
Dragon Quest is supremely popular in Japan, yes? Normally, it isn't a system seller because it's brought out on whichever console is already the most popular, but Wii U special features could be a big deal depending on what they are. The only example I can think of is the GBA-only shop in the Zelda Oracle games, which was pretty insignificant. Hopefully, Nintendo will recognize the possible coup and work closely with Squeenix to do something worthwhile.Moving the menus to the uMote and other UI elements that don't need to be on the screen and a traditional control scheme would probably be enough. How many people bought TP GCN because of the traditional controls...
Edit: I can't make this stupid post not end in "null null null."
I just wanted to add that Siliconera was reporting that
"Square Enix is in the technical investigation phase when it comes to Wii U. The company is also examining whether to support Wii U with a launch title."
They've got about a year till launch. Wouldn't that mean a port of something that's already coming up?
FFXIII Vs?
What games do they have that aren't seeing release till sometime mid-2012?

The unconfirmed-but-we-know-it's-coming up-port of FF Type 0, and possibly the International version of FFXIII-2 (lol).
