DerNebel said: 2 things: According to Verendus there are 2 more DQ games on PS to be announced. Apparently (at least I didn't know that) this is part of a Famitsu series where they have one DQ news per week for 5 weeks. First was DQVIII and second is this. DQXI in the last week??? |
As people have already said on GAF, next 2 weeks are likely to be Dragon Quest Monsters 3 and Dragon Quest Heroes 2.
Fifth game could be anything though, including that indeed...
DerNebel said: Yeah, good job on that one Iwata. |
To be fair, Nintendo did try. But Dragon Quest doesn't have the heritage that Final Fantasy does in the west and as such I doubt it's going to be anything more than niche over here. Dragon Quest Minecraft is certainly a step in the right direction of making it more mainstream, though.

I'm beginning to be pretty certain that the form we'll see DQ VIII HD in the west as is a PS4 port.
OT: What's interesting about this is that Square Enix have gone where the Minecraft crowd is in Japan.
I saw some berating (not necessarily on these forums) for Square Enix's decision to put World of Final Fantasy on Vita/PS4, despite the fact that 3DS already has an audience for monster-collecting games (Pokemon; Youkai; DQM).
While this current decision just seems in line with their "put everything on PS4" mentality, it actually does line up with the market in Japan, where Terraria & Minecraft are popular on PlayStation consoles.
Sales on this one will be extremely interesting to watch.
