Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Square Enix reconfirms Dragon Quest X for the Wii

Excellent.



Around the Network

If they wait another few years it can be Wii 2 exclusive...



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

Wii sells over 100 million units confirmed.

 

If I recall, Dragon Quest is HUGE in Japan and pretty much guarantees a system's success.

Dragon Quest requires a large, matured user base.  They don't want to release a main series DQ game in the first or second year of a system anymore.  The expectations will be 3-4.5 million, they would like to have at least double that before releasing it. 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I agree with that, but then Wii announce it 2 years (minimum) before showing a single pic? They could just say "we're working on it" or being vague like KH3...

How nice of them.

Is it even worth the wait at this point?

I was beginning to think it wasn't coming to Wii after all, like FFCC:tCB a while back.



I'm still quite baffled by SE decision. Why put DQX on the Wii and then completely ignore it? Every single other (big) game they make is NOT on the system they gave their biggest game to.



I laugh at the people that seriously suggested it jumped ship from Wii. They don't know Yuji Horii very well.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

I'm gonna go back and read those wet-dream threads about DQX being moved to PS3.



LOL, I remember those threads stating how it had been moved to the PS3

I'm expecting a release in Q3/4 2011, I think that sounds reasonable assuming they officially announce it with a trailer by the end of the year
