Good question since KH is a great game series but has nothing to do with future Dragon Quests. Unless they make a Dragon Quest vs Kingdom Hearts

then what do you understand by menus? if he just meant Equipment menus, and such, well, it wouldn't be that bad (if we're talking about US DQ8 menus, that is;because i for one, prefer classic menus)
when you have to select a command out of pages with 12 spells in like 1/4 of the screen, i'm not so sure about that.Snaku said:

Can't wait!
I think Horii is pissed and going to settle the score with Sakaguchi this Tuesday
That actually made my laugh out loud at work

I think the question is what percentage of fans of the series would care and be affected. Japanese fans of the game would play it regardless of how it controls, hell if it required you to throw the damn remote against the TV for control they wouldn't care and still play it.
Honestly, I doubt a significant percentage of the fanbase would be affected and not buy the game because of this. By significant, I am sure it would be a number less than 1% of the fans.

Maybe not, but I sure don't want to aim again using the regular controllers.
Does Square-Enix ususally put out newspaper ads when talking about the announcement of Dragon Quest games? Particularly if they're remakes?
I'm thinking more and more that this is more than just a remake or a DS iteration, and DQIX will be announced for the PS2.

Dragon Quest will definitely help Wii out in Japan. Im not sure of the ramifications in the rest of the world as DQ popularity outside of Japan isnt exactly on fire. But if they do it right, and really promote the game, it will interest the non-gamers as well as those who have given DQ the cold shoulder before.
It's too early for a DQ9 anouncement for any of the next gen systems.
If there's a DQ9 announcement its going to be for the PS2. (or maybe even the DS)
Much like DQ4 for the nes, DQ6 for the snes and DQ7 for the PS which all came at the end of the previous generation and the begining of the current.

Thats why its going to be on wii !
HAHAHAHAHA hahahaaaa.... Cant wait for it
I think a PS2 announcement for DQIX is the most likely scenario. It would be too soon to make such a bombshell decision for a newly launched console. It might get moved to Wii in the future when solid hardware trends indicate such a move, but not right now.
Of course, assuming the announcement IS DQIX.

He never said it would be the only control option available, yet your comment was regarding how you didn't want to have to point at everything, ruling out the possibility of there being a non-pointing version of the controls. Just because the controls let you point, doesn't mean that will be the only option available. Zelda: TP on Wii is a perfect example... I can point-and-click if I wish, or I can navigate every single menu with the analog stick. I just don't think you should rule options out.KurowaSan said:

Probably will be for the PS2 or even PS3, but if it is for the Wii ... that would be crazy for sure. Assuming of course the annoucement is even about DQ9 for any platform.
It could easily just be an announcement for DQ remake for the DS for instance. That would make a lot of sense looking at FFIII's sales.

Again you're confused about what DQ is all about. DQ is all about the monsters, the classic interface, the classic dungeons, the spells, the NPCs, the quirky light-hearted humor, the lack of a serious teenybopper romance storyline (like those found in the FF games), the casino mini-games, etc. Changing the control scheme to fit the wiimote would have no affect on DQ tradition.
And besides, being able to point at what monster you want to attack is pretty ****ing cool. (still menu-based combat, just saying that instead of selecting the monster with the analog stick, you can just point at it and click A).
I'm sure that if DQ9 hit the Wii, it would have both classic and wiimote control schemes.
If I had to guess about this mystery announcement i am going to say it is a brand new Wii DQ spinoff. Square Enix has disappointed me too often in terms of DQ remakes. The only plausible remake at this point would be DQ6 w/ DQ8's system (But didn't DQ5 remake already use the DQ8 system? That would break their engine reuse trend).

Wait, is it official that Matsuno is working with Nintendo or is it yet another internet rumour?

DQ5 used a Torneko game's engine and came out about 8 months before 8 did. No DQ remake has yet used 8's engine, that's why 6 is ripe for it! 5 kinda broke the trend already by using a non-DQ game's engine. 6 using 8's is what I am hoping the announcement to be, as that is what it should be.
I can show you a quick vid of what 5 looks like in motion if you haven't seen it..it's certainly not using 8's engine there.

That would be a bit of wasted potential..but certainly not sales-wise. It would be a little awkward, but disgruntlements would probably go away quickly.

It's overdue..
Overdue from the fans' point of view. Not from Enix's point of view.
It takes a good what, 4-5 years between main releases of DQ. As a die hard fan of the series, I don't want that to change. Simply because I want them to put time into the story, characters, and everything else to continue to make the games in the main series a classic.

Oh, I forgot to edit out your last sentence. I was talking about DQ6r, not 9. 9 can wait. I'm not expecting even news tidbits for that until late next year or mid 2008.
