First off, its a port of an arcade only game, which usually makes people happy when its a fighter or a shoot-em-up. So all the people complaining need to look back and see if they ever complained so much about other games getting ported. Second of all, its a Dragon Quest game, a series 99% of you don't even care about. So this sudden interest to bash it as being a 'cop out' or 'lazy port' is pretty weak just from the principle that most of you just learned what the game is from this announcement.
I for one am glad that the game is being brought to the Wii. Both because I've always wanted to play it and because I've always said they should make a console version. The next best thing to them making a console version itself is porting the original game to consoles, so I may at least have a chance to play it. Even if I have to import it. I can't import an Arcade cabinet and hundreds of cards.
Also @trestres, We've had this discussion before. Sales and popularity aren't the same thing. Dragon Quest has a consistent history of ongoing and increasing sales. While Monster Hunter is relatively new and is just now reaching the monumentally large numbers with the last few titles. You can't compare as 20+ year series which every title has seen Million plus sales and is a national obsession in Japan to another series which basically started last gen and fluctuated between 1-4 million.
Monster hunter is also a series that has never sold well on home consoles in japan, Whereas dragon quest has.

Did you play the original? If not, then it is something new.
I didn't play the original, so it's good news for me.
BOOM!
Tell me. When's the last time you saw an arcade machine with a sword installed in its base?
Port or not, I say bring this game on.

You just can't argue argue with me, then you resort to that kind of childish stuff. If you are so sure about your stance, then make a bet with me, or you are you too scared to lose?

I will not argue with you , i will just tell you to go out and look what for the Monster Hunter title that sold over 8M copies ^^ ...also its not a port from a game that you all ready own its a Port of a arcade game , and this is totally different cuz one thing is buy something that you all ready own and other is take to home something that you must pay everytime you wants to play , also the cards are very popular with over 200M sold so far , this married with the DS-i app that reads those cards to be used on the wii game and this game can (i think it will) be Huuuuge japan . |
Which DQ game has gone over 8 million in JAPAN? None. I don't see how the rest of the world is even relevant in this conversation.
Who said everyone buying ports already owned the game? That's just BS you just made up.
I'm not saying this won't sell on its own, but I'm telling you not to expect a huge HW boost for the Wii, it makes no sense and it's not going to happen. Plus what's your definition of huge boost? Perhaps a huge boost for you is 5k? Set some parameters.

Also: http://images.redial.net/DRAGONQUEST-SALES-97.png As you can see, it'll most likely get there eventually anyway. Heck, DQIX sold about 4 million. |
I never said you needed to go over 4 million to give a huge boost. I said that expecting every game in a popular series to give a boost is ilogical as proven by history, and even more when the game is an old spin-off port which will require another console integration to be played in its entirity. I don't doubt the game will sell, I'm just saying it won't propel the Wii to the skies.

Famitsu is expecting MH to overpass DQ in popularity come MHP3. I think it's pretty safe to compare them, soon enough MH will be Japan's biggest IP in terms of sales outside of Nintendo's own games. When Pokemon became a mega hit no one said it was unfair to compare it to FF or DQ. Nowadays Pokemon is the biggest franchise happan has.
