maybe im just too new to DQ, but I've seen the Level 5 dislike alot. Why?

Sloooooooooooow battle system.

Level 5 made DQ8 'relatively' flashy (ie, 3rd person) which made the battles slower, I guess. Too many animations.

They did make it pretty at least. I won't it back in 1st person, though.

I had been thinking the RPG presence on the Wii would be comparable to the GameCube in Japan. Obviously that line of thinking is now out the window.

DQIV, DQV, DQVI remade for DS before DQIX. DQVII remade for Wii before DQX?

That would be MOST EXCELLENT.

Well, if this doesn't cause a seismic shift, nothing's going to.

Whether they can get western equivalents is the big question, but yeah, MH3 and now DQX? Wow.

So what's the over/under on how many pages of bitter sweet tears there will be by tomorrow morning? :lol

You would have to be an idiot to think that DQ proper would go anywhere other than DS or Wii this gen.

And this announcement shall be known as Nintendo's Great Balls of Fire.

Unless they radically change DQ, it can't benefit from the Wii. It could be the most beautiful thing the world has ever seen if it were to come out on the PS3, as well as boost the stagnant sales.

But Wii it is!

For those having any doubts, here's a Reuters story :

NICE. Looking forward to DQX.

Is there like a Famitsu page announcing DQX?

EDIT: NM, Reuters.

That's a disgusting thought.

I only own a wii out of this gen's consoles and I do not want it on wii, but I have pretty much given up hope that it'll be on PS3 or 360. This is a revolution

JavyOO7 · Dec 10, 2008

Good lord, if this does not get Wii third party developers going I have no idea what will.

Nintendo needs to expand their internal teams again. -_-

It's not as if the Wii needed DQX to obliterate PS3 or 360 any further. What this will hopefully do is bring more of the "core" Japanese gamer to the system and get more RPGs on the system.

Zoe · Dec 10, 2008

Paraphrase:

Wada: Iwata's appearances are rare, so I'm really happy. Completing DQIX is a big relief. A "thank goodness" kind of feeling

Iwata: Thank you for developing DQX on the Wii

So you mean that having the highest profile RPG exclusive on the Wii wont change anything?

It means a LOT.

It was the best selling PS2 game (in Japan)

DQVr was the 4th best selling game, I believe.

I think it went

DQVIII
FFXII (?)
FFX
DQVr

Not sure if I got the FF's switched, though.

Yeah, so according to Gemaga, Wada came up on stage with a big smile on his face and said, "Thanks for announcing DQX on Wii!"

Ydahs · Dec 10, 2008

And just a day ago...

As for the next big hit in Japan, maybe SE will decide to put the next DQ on Wii, since they do support the most popular console!

There were rumors that MH3 was coming to another console along with the Wii version. This is Capcom squashing those rumors. I still fully expect MHP3 to come, eventually, but probably well after the Wii version.

Square Enix just shot themselves in the foot.

I dont know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (Im an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. Its not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase DQIX for DS, nor will they purchase any of Square Enixs games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square Enix has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square Enix, publicly apologize and cancel DQX for Wii or you can kiss your business goodbye.

:lol

Glad this little presser didn't disappoint! GAF does enjoy its megatons. I guess I'll have to go buy DQ8 for my PS2 now to get ready.

Pachael · Dec 10, 2008

Looks finalised now that more sites are reporting on it. More third party goodness on the Wii :lol

It'll look a hell of alot better than DQ VIII. And that looks pretty nice.
