Ike Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) We finally found out what the Dragon Quest game for the 3DS is: Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippodan (Dragon Quest Heroes: The Great Pirate Ship and Tails Troupe)! full 3D- adventure will take you out on the sea - build your own ship - engage in ship-to-ship battles - Winter 2011 release in Japan - action adventure - multiplayer mode that supports two to four players - 3D support - compatibility with Wi-Fi and SpotPass - experience Slimes riding out on the great seas in ships and engaging in 3D battles with enemy pirate ships Gonintendo Official Site (Japanese) The DS version was great, but sadly didn't get a UK release. Hopefully this one will since the 3DS is region locked. Edited March 16, 2011 by Ike Added translated title.

Grazza Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Wow, awesome, I didn't even know there was going to be a 3DS game! I hope the ship battles are somewhat like Skies of Arcadia and Panazer Dragoon Saga, where you can attack from differents sides, use different cannons etc.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I'm not getting hyped about it, what with the 3DS being region locked and the first 2 games never getting a release over here.
darksnowman Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Great news to see this spin-off series continue. I won't be getting excited about a Pal release though.
Tellyn Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Saw this news earlier and thought of all you guys! Then got depressed when I remembered the 3DS is region-locked.
Grazza Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 There are two reasons I'm optimistic about this... 1) Dragon Quest IX sold decently, so the DQ name is much more well-known here than it was when the DS launched. 2) This will have 3D graphics - a first for the Rocket Slime series. If you look at Rocket Slime Adventures (the DS game), it really doesn't have impressive graphics at all, when you think of how good sprite games can be. If this looks much better, Square-Enix might be more confident it'll sell. ...But yeah, I'm probably being silly to get my hopes up.

This is what I'm hoping. The DS game did at least get an American release so there was an English version.
killer kirby Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 The game came out in Australia as well... feels good man

Debug Mode Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Small scan showing the first images of DQ Heroes Rocket Slime available on the 3DS Blog, hopefully a larger scan will appear soon.
killer kirby Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Looks the same as the first and second game. Can only mean it's going to be awesome (Prepares for Grazza's disappointment when it meant full 3D it was meaning the 3D feature not the graphics )
Grazza Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Gargh! Why doesn't it have full 3D graphics? Why?!! Only joking, I'm still interested.
killer kirby Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) pics Looking awesome! too lazy to redo the links myself so here is a link http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/29/rocket_slime_3ds_first_look/ Edited April 8, 2011 by killer kirby
Grazza Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Fun new trailer: Still not really sure how it plays, but it looks pretty cool.
killer kirby Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 It plays awesome, the slime mori mori games are the greatest spin-off (Also monsters) on the DQ franchise. It's like Zelda+Dragon Quest. (To be expected since Yuji Horii is a big Zelda fan )
-Dem0- Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 This game looks really interesting. nice trailer!
Grazza Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 To add insult to injury, this is getting a re-release in Japan! http://nintendoeverything.com/100494/dragon-quest-heroes-rocket-slime-3-re-releasing-in-japan/
Lens of Truth Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 If they used the eshop to even half its potential by releasing some of these 'minor' titles in a non-risk format I'd buy them all in a heartbeat... =/ The narrow regionalism of Nintendo seems so anachronistic. Really a terrible way of doing things.
