Heh, I was just checking out the hori.jp site when I saw that keyboard there! It looks alright, but the Razer Lycosa keyboard that I bought 4 years ago is still working fine.

I'm still not sure about DQX. I'd like to get it, but I don't want to pay the monthly fee. If it was just a regular single player game with optional online stuff, I'd be all over it. Not too long after the game releases in August, I'm going to be visiting family in California, so my "20days of free play" time would be partially wasted. I do want to pick up the 16GB USB stick though. Hori will be selling them separately, so I don't have to pick up the game/usb bundle if I want it.

Not too long ago I did pick up this Slime Tower Speaker set that I found at a store on clearance.(60% off!) It was great with my 3DS and DSi/Lite, but for some reason it didn't work well with my iphone at all, which is what I wanted it for. It was great with my gf's ipod touch though, so I gave it to her as she's a big DQ fan.

I have this one here:

 

I was very surprised to see this in a store here. It was expensive as hell, but I had to get it.

Ah, I remember that one. I wanted to get it too, but I wanted the gray metal slime version. I should go and see if I can find one.

Will you get DQX, smbu?

If so, get this too, so we can "hate" you even more.

The esc-stair is amazing.

 

That doesn't looks no where near as nice as that DQ 3DS.

DQX is not going to be a total fail. I absolutely despise what SE did with DQX, messing it up like they did with FF, MMORPG was not needed. It'll still sell well, however. (Might sell better on Wii U, too.)

I dont know.It just has a lot of things going against it..Plus are Mmo's even popular in japan.They seem to like more of local play rather than full blown out online.Plus how vastly can the wii U version be if they have to make it compatible with users on wii.Plus dq9 sold 5 million cause nintendo published it and marketed it huge in the west,will we see that for dq10.

I hope it succeeds cause I like dq,not as much as most people but I do like the traditional aspect of the games but I just dont see how this can be that much profitable for sqaure

MMO, I'm pretty sure, are liked more in Korea. Japan seems to like "Traditional" Games more. 

DQX will sell, no question. (Do you not look at the Japanese Pre-Orders?)

It just won't do as well as others.

Nah,Korea just loves Starcraft lol.But it's more than just selling a lot of units when it comes to Mmo's.The customer has to continue to play for months and years in order for companies to make profit.We are already seeing that problem with bioware where a lot of customers dont come back.Given how traditional dq are,I dont see the incentives most people will have in order for a higher replay value.I just dont see how traditional mmo's aspect will keep players hooked,quest,items,weapons...it will need something completly unique for a high replay value in order for square to make a profit

We know FAR too little about DQX in order to be cynical or optimistic.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

What we do know is that it is an Dragon Quest game; it'll sell well, in Japan.
