Old game, yes, but subpar port? The game isn't even out yet, so it's impossible to judge whether it's subpar or not.

You dont really make any idea of how big DQ is in japan ...

I can't imagine that many people would of played the arcade version so might want the console version. And they might add additional items/fanservice for all we know.

Even though it's just a port, Wii could sure use the boost in Japan. And they do love them some DQ some even if it's an arcade/fighter port it should still sell significant amounts based on the DQ name alone.

Only other foreseeable big boosts before that were Wii Relax and DXQ. Never thought I'd say this, but Nintendo needs to crank out some more "Wii ____" titles, at least in Japan.

Erm I feel that Square Enix has trolled me.

maybe Square Is Saving X For The 3DS or Another Platform...

Nice try.

Is this the game?

According to GoNintendo, this is the game's trailer.

However.... the trailer's been up since 22nd february, and the title is different. :S

@ Palancas7.

I think it is... not entirely sure tough :/

The trailer grabbed my attention (I'm easily impressed), what are the chances of this making it out of Japan?

It's actually port of that game's sequel, the latest version of which (Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road II Legend) just released in January 2010.  It even features characters from DQIX actually.

Visuals are impressive imo.
