i must import this. <3 homebrew channel
No, I don't think that's very likely. The reason why DQ9 had multiplayer was because it was a handheld game, and Japanese gamers are big on social, in-person multiplayer. They don't take to remote multiplayer the same way. It's more likely that Horii will save that sort of thing for handheld games.Big One said:

Watch it be a CG trailer.

I'd be happy with even a CG trailer...not that DQ does CG anyway though.

May the Schwartz be with you
It would be amazing if it came out in English. Did the Dragon Warrior games ever come out to virtual console? I should replay 1-3, maybe pull out my NES

I don't really think that should be a worry
Horii said they were on the last parts of the game - they're going to have something to show.For those curious, this is the trailer for DQ8 that was included with Dragon Quest 5 PS2:

I think it might be similar to what we can expect from this one. Hopefully, anyway.

Think about how many projects they'll start once their American studio is actually doing stuff.

This is kind of a big issue with Level 5!Big One said:
I think they are addicted to announcing games.
lol, yeah they are growing as well to keep up with working on next gen platforms. Their 3ds support is already impressive, and we can only imagine what they are going to do for the wii u and the vita. They better have teams though looking at how Hino has aged I wouldn't be surprised to hear he does all the work by himself.Big One said:

I would honestly be shocked if they release Time Travelers or Fantasy Life in 2012.artwalknoon said:
I can see Fantasy Life coming in 2012 because the systems and gameplay should still largely be based on the ds version. Graphically it doesn't look like the most challenging title so I would imagine it could make it out before the rest of their 3ds slate. I mean look at Professor Layton 4, that started as a ds game and made the conversion to 3ds fast enough for launch and the entire game was basically overhauled.ShockingAlberto said:
Meh, I'll be happy with getting the DQX footage at some point from S-E or Youtube. Localizing this would be a lot more expensive because the SNES remakes were never officially translated. Even if they managed to license the script from the fan translators, the fan patch has bugs that would make the game fail Nintendo's QA.
Besides, the NES versions of 1 & 2 are best left as fond memories. DQ1 is just plain archaic (a stairs command? Really?), and both games suffer from very slow character progression. DQ2 is pretty horribly balanced, since 2/3 of your party stinks. The GBC port of DQ 1&2 is far superior, although the script suffers due to the limited screen space (DracoLord?!).

The collection looks great. But I am not expecting a Western release.
Anyway, I am looking forward to DQX footage. I hope they find a way to combine the character creation from IX with the distinctive personalities from VIII. Maybe have each party member have specific roles (best friend, rival, princess) or simply names. Then when they first appear you get to create that character and it follows the storyline of "princess". I'd love a system like that, and they can still be voiced and have set personalities.

I havent heard ANYTHING out of SE about DQX in the last hour or so, I dont think its farfetched to assume they might be considering a platform switch. Why else would they be so quiet about it all of a sudden? We havent heard or seen anything but a logo since earlier today.
