Wow... Square freaking LOVE Nintendo.

This launching with Wii will explode sales in Japan! Nintendo won’t be able to meet demand for this console in Japan no mater how long they have been stockpiling it!

Posted

This will make the Wii sell out in Japan in approxamatly 3.5256 seconds...

Never played a DQ, and haven't played the FFs much, but, by what I already know about the game, and by what I'm reading, this is a good thing.

Awesome news, absolutely wonderful news. Not a bad launch title at all.

 

We(ii) need more support like this from other developers, if the console is to be successful.

Dragon Quest Swords makes me think its a spin-off as opposed to a genuine member of the DQ series, I hope its a proper RPG though rather than an action RPG - I expect it will be as they won't want two such similar games (this and CC) to be competing at launch. Those two titles should really make the Wii appeal to the Japanese from day one. Great news.

With the annoucment of this game i think the entire gaming community of Japan have just collectivly wet their pants.

 

This is great news and to think its only Monday, what more could be instore

 

Now this just increase my "must get list" for launch...if this keeps up by Friday i'm gonna have to take out a loan to get my Wii at launch with all i'll be needing for it.

To right, all that I need now is Skies of Arcadia 2 and I will be set for life.

I'm so hyped about this one...

 

for square-enix to give away Dragon Quest is like something secondary next to FF series, but it's still so much... and I'd prefer a DQ over a FF nowadays... thank you square :D

Plus a Golden Sun, Baten Kaitos and Tales of game then the icing would truly be on the cake.

 

Isn't DQ that game were there was once an unofficail bank holiday in Japan for the release of a new DQ game cuz it is that popular. (I'm sure i heard that somewhere)

 

I'm actually startin to worry that the Europe launch might get delayed because of this. With a DQ game at launch the Japs are gonna take most (if not all) of the Wii stock like they did with the DS lite

well if goldensun is there it's not a launch title but like anouther megaton after the square-enix titles make way, i don't know what ill do if i see goldensun as well.

Golden Sun could still be a launch title as its 1st party aint it? I know Camelot made it along with Shining Holy Ark on the Saturn which was another awesome rpg.

Well spotted mate. I too thought it's a bit odd that it's called "Dragon Quest Swords". Then on a 2nd thought I suspect it's their way of bringing in wiimote into action. I think it will be an action-RPG, where you're swinging a Sword in a Dragon Quest world. Seems to make sense, doesn't it?

 

About Dragon Quest hype in Japan, that's quite right. Particularly in the olden days of NES, every release was greeted with a mile long campers of dads and sons (literally in a small tent) outside big stores. Later on the same day mugging would ensue, not for money but for the Dragon Quest carts. Apparently schools instructed kids to hide the carts on the way home from stores, as 20-somethings would spot a kid with the game and follow him into a dark alley where he'd nick the cart.
