3DS is like the DQ system of the forever. Simply amazing.
Kamiya influence too strong
What's that?
It's a monster recruiting/battling game aimed at kids. If you don't like those kinds of games (Pokemon) then you may not enjoy this either. The main thing DQM has over Pokemon is that you can deploy multiple monsters at once (i.e., not 1-on-1 battling) and you can build your monsters with a skill system.
Yeah... No.
Huh, kinda yes? The reason you're not seeing any of the 3DS DQ game in the west is because both DQM:J2 and DQVI bombed really really hard in the west, so did the original DQMJ and DQV.
This is a better, and more complete, explanation of what happened. I don't think, though, DQV bombed in the West.
Well it sold badly enough that Square didn't feel like releasing DQVI DS in the west and Nintendo had to step in.

DQ8 3DS version info -> DQB for PS platform announced -> DQMJ3 for 3DS announced -> Then... What's next?
SQEX is playing ping pong with PS and Nintendo.

I'm going to assume a remake of a DQ game for PS Platforms.
I would say DQH2 and DQ X port.
We in the West have very clearly shown we do not want Dragon Quest Monsters games.This is never coming to the west, is it?

Yeah but, claiming DQM Joker 2 bombing as the reason SE will 'never release a DQ title in the west again' is a bit of a stretch. If Dragon Quest IX bombed (which it didn't), then it would make sense.
It's the reason you will not see most spin-offs localized ever again yeah.
Hahah, surprisingly enough, I had the same misconception about KyoufuYeah but cant you read Japanese? Or am I mixing you up with another user? D:
Figured this would be the next announcement, but I actually am a little surprised that they're continuing Joker and not moving on from that.
Highly doubt that. Joker 2 bombing is the main reason why the west hasn't been getting any DQ games recently. I doubt we'll ever see a DQM game (especially a joker one) again stateside.
It's the reason you will not see most spin-offs localized ever again yeah.
Can we jus get DQ7 and DQ8 ffs.
No.This is never coming to the west, is it?
Same. Even saying the words "Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2" is really clumsy. They may as well have moved onto DQM3 or some other subtitled DQM game.
Joker 2 bombed really hard. I don't think that's specially why Square Enix won't release DQ games, but I suspect it's why Nintendo didn't pick up the slack and release the missing DQ games on 3DS.
BTW, Joker 2 is a great game and everyone should go buy it while it's still dirt cheap.
The only reason Joker 2 bombed was because it wasn't the Pro version that had been released in Japan at the time. Many people were pissed and boycotted it. I bought it though, and it wasn't that bad.
These DQ spinoffs could be profitable even if they only brought them over as eshop only releases. The DQ Monster series and the Slime series has far less text than the mainline entries. The 3DS also doesn't have the piracy issues that plagued the DS for its last few years, and has shown to have a dedicated jrpg fan base across Europe and America. If DQ VII & VIII come over and sell as good as Bravely Default then I think their is hope these spinoffs may come over.
I thought you meant DQ games in general. That said, Verendus claims we'll be seeing all of the Dragon Quest games on PS4/PS3/Vita in the west, both announced and unannounced.
Yeah but cant you read Japanese? Or am I mixing you up with another user? D:
Hmm, surprised they're keeping with the Joker branding and not going with something new.
It's funny how, based on main character designs, the Monsters games were clearly aimed at young children during the GBC area but seem to target older kids since the DS days (angsty teen design all the way)
Not good enough to play text heavy RPGs. Is this going to be that?
