No kidding. Plus Alpha should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to that game.
I'd much rather have 8-4 handle all future localizations to be honest. Their work on DQVI was so much better than Plus Alpha's work on IV, V and IX

True sequel for the WiiU. Get on it!

Two questions, does anyone else tweet that works in Nintendo, and you can tell how popular a tweet is, right?
Maybe Reggie is just testing the waters of releasing news via Twitter. Last I knew, that's how Blizzard works these days.

Since Pokémon is putting 3DS systems on the hands of people who like monster capturing RPGs, don't you think it's time for a Terry's Wonderland localization, Reggie?
Reggie?
Man, thats how this shit use to work. Something popular is out? Lets all release our 'clone games' of it to cash in.
Now when something cool is announced in Japan its like:
Oh I wonder if this will get transla.. NOPE

At this point, I kind of hope they skip TW and give us DQM2 3DS instead.

NO.
Denied. Absolutely not. -Insert Buzzer Sound Effect Here-
DQM:TW in early/mid 2014, DQM2 in late 2014/early 2015. There's no reason at all to skip TW.
I'm actually kinda worried that they actually skip TW for DQM2, and... no.
I need my Greattree adventure, darnit.God damn, I want DQ VII to get localized so bad
Same. VII is one of the few games in the series I haven't really played much of, and I don't really want to bother with the PS version at this point.
I actually have the PS1 version but the pacing and graphics are terribly archaic.
I believe Shane accurately described it on Retronauts as a 'visual abortion'.

I love how it's somehow Nintendo's responsibility to make up for the stupidity of Square Enix.

It's not that bad. The battle sprites look pretty damn good. The overworld is good enough

At this point I'll settle for Dragon Quest on mobile phones, or in Super Smash Bros.
WTF does that has to do with anyt... Oh it's you Smokey.

Reggie may be gaming's biggest spinster but I don't think he's as daft as some are reading. I think he knows DQVII 3DS is getting localized and was teasing it. This is how I'm choosing to interpret it :3 *crosses fingers but doesn't hold breath*

Oh god. I would die happy.
It's also worth noting that 2014 marks the series' 25 anniversary in the US. So on top of everything you listed, some kind of 25 anniversary compilation would hit around the holiday season 2014.
Don't... stop........... Belieeeeving!!!!

Wouldn't be surprised in the least. DQVII was already one of the longest games in the series. Taking a remake that adds a substantial amount of post-game content with an already long game spells a project that would take time to translate. Dragon Quest has a better chance of succeeding on the 3DS right now.

You know I'm kinda worried about the fact that it's such a long translation. SE might see it as a risky project if it costs too much to localize. BUT... The 3DS is really doing well right now all around the world so they might still end up seeing the project as worthwhile.
I hope they somehow bring DQX over also. I was a little disappointed when I learned that it was going to be an MMO but since it's DQ I'd still play the hell out of it.

If it's anything like Dragon Quest XI, then I'm pretty sure Nintendo Treehouse is doing the localization.

Treehouse hasn't handled any dq translations. Plus Alpha handled 4 5 and 9. 8 - 4 handled 6. Not sure who did dqmj2

Xseed could, but there's absolutely no way Square Enix would ever let them. At the very least they would price the license so high they couldn't make money doing it. There's probably a bunch of politics involved too. (To wit, if you explained to your boss at the Japanese branch that DQ doesn't work in the US, and some other company makes it work, well, sucks to be you, eh?)
