I remember an old Famitsu rumor column said that ASH was canceled for the DS and moved to the PSP. But hey, this'll be fun -- we can watch everyone who's insisted vis a vis Final Fantasy XIII that Square Enix would never make a game multiplatform switch sides!

Nope. It'd be the same problem as Jump Ultimate Stars or the Super Robot Wars games.

Dragon Quest IX for the PSP?

This is pretty plausible. If you look at the recent performance of Square Enix games on the DS, they've really been doing pretty poorly. Crystal Chronicles, the DS Style games, Heroes of Mana, It's a Wonderful World... they've got to be looking at the sales of Crisis Core and the hype for KH: Birth by Sleep and seeing the potential here.

Awesome.

I doubt it. CC did well as far as I know, and IAWW was a new franchise. Final Fantasy VII: CC is a Final Fantasy VII title that's been hyped for a long time now. I'd have expected it to do a lot better than most of the things put out on the DS thus far.

Double post.
botticus said:
Why? No one's talking about canceling the DS game, so the PSP games don't need to do better than all of Square Enix's DS stuff -- just better than most, as in enough to show the potential.
That's been accomplished, so a multiplatform release has got to be looking like a pretty good idea.

Take out the GBA slot, it will be twice as thick as a DS cart. Sexy?
Cedille said:
It's possible. But if you look at the comments Square Enix folks have been making lately (like Shinji Hashimoto) they really have been stressing the need for more of a multiplatform approach. I wouldn't be surprised if this is something they're seriously looking at doing.
It probably is then, they lurk on 2ch all the time and probably got the scans from there as well.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
I doubt they'd use any of those games to make this decision.ethelred said:
Did I miss an interview? They want to support all platforms equally, not release games multi-platform, the only game that they have in the works that is coming out on multiple platforms is The Last Remnant.ethelred said:

As a major DS fan, I'd buy a PSP and their DQ games if they were to come out for it. The audio/graphical jump would be so worth it. Just keep the loading times in check.

I hope this is true. The PSP desperately needs more attention from Square Enix. I don't see how a ground up DS game can be seamlessly ported to the PSP though.

Probably not a port. Just simultaneously developed. The battle system, storyline, and characters would be the same, but they could use the DQVIII engine on the PSP version.
What am I saying? I sound like a PSP fan in denial...but I so badly want this to be true. Also, I want DQIV-VI on the PSP as well. Hell, give me the whole series again. Take my money, take it all!

you changed "DQ remake" to "DQ 9"...holy schnikies if true.creamsugar said:NOTE: ALL OF THESE ARE RUMORS
1. New version of DS next spring, with a mobile digital TV/radio tuner.
2. Square Enix make a RPG for DS with Shonen JUMP characters.
3. DQ 9 also available for PSP.
etc: look at pics please.

This rumor doesn't make sense with Square Enix's business strategy. If you are giong to make a remake for DS and PSP, they have to be made at different times. Then, you can rape consumers twice. If they are made at the same time, people would arguably buy the PSP versions.Forgotten Ancient said:

OK and thus all the rumors lose all creditability with the DQ9 thing.
*wipes a tear away* farewell Jump RPG, farewell.

No reason they couldn't wait 6 months to put out the PSP version. They'd definitely make money off of suckers such as myself.:lol

It will start being talked about at Nintendo shortly after a competitor worth talking about about reveals their own new handheld.

I think Square is very likely trying to find the exact amount of time between rapings that maximizes revenue.Forgotten Ancient said:

Just so we're not being vague here, you're talking about the PSP2, right?

Or the XBoy or the Dreamcat or the Madden-Portable. Whatever.

Well, you said worth talking about. Since Microsoft is leaving the gaming industry next year and Sega's too busy working on relaunching the Dreamcast I think that only leaves Sony. I mean, nobody really plays sports or even buys EA games for portables.

Lightning really likes Sony. Lightning really likes S-E. There aren't any DQ games for the PSP yet. Conflict ensues.Pureauthor said:

Uhh
DQ Monsters Joker is the best-selling current-gen SE handheld game so far, right?
The idea of "robust PSP sales" and "CC's success" are kind of weak reasonings, considering that DQMJ has done more than 2x what CC's done so far.

Well, DQ is the bigger series and the DS had the bigger install base. Both games did very respectable.

The reasoning provided in justification for the DQ9-on-PSP thing is pretty funny. We pretty much knew DQ9 wasn't going to make 2007 well before the PSP started to show its most recent signs of life.
I figure the chances of this being true are a little bit worse than the chances of a multiplat FF XIII due to Horii's influence. I'm also pretty sure that there's not much chance this one is happening unless the other is also happening.
So for future reference, could anyone interested in this rumor solely for system wars ammunition line up and tell the class whether they'd prefer FFXIII and DQ9 to both go multi-platform, or both to stay exclusive?

In general, I prefer exclusives. The developer spends more time with that game on the system and tends to maximize the strengths of the platform.
But when we're talking about releasing a game on a much more powerful platform in addition to the originally intended platform, I don't see a problem with that.
To summarize, I'd prefer FFXIII to be exclusive and that the DQ (and FF remakes) get released on both DS and PSP. Not that it matters since this is probably a bunk rumor.
