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...

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.

 don't know, but sounds like DQ V in HD and DQXI for me...

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.

Sorry for repeating but he actually said the 3 of the 5 games were DQH, DQH2, and Builders. And he's actually downright said that DQXI is coming to PS4 and that an older remaster of a DQ game. So we know all 5 games. It could be like this Week 3 - Dragon Quest Heroes 2  Week 4 - Dragon Quest ? Remaster Week 5 - Dragon Quest XI
