About time. I wonder what held Nintendo up on this release?

Well, it's coming about a year after Japan, just like DQIX.  I'm guessing the "silence" on it earlier was Nintendo & SE/Horii hashing out specifics and seeing how DQIX actually sold.

I just remember IV and V seemingly came out very soon after each other, I figure that they would have done the same. I've never played most of the series, so I'd love to play em!

Lol published by Nintendo. I guess you can say that every DQ now will be published by Nintendo especially DQX :)

Like the NES days, but they sell well now.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Finally.

This means I can get Inazuma Eleven, Ghost Trick, Dragon Quest VI and Okamiden within the first 3 months of 2011.  

After these releases there's only 6 games missing in the west on my favourite system this gen:
Ninokuni, Soma Bringer, Sigma Harmonics, Tales of Innocence, Tales of Hearts, Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute.

Layton 4 is a given and I'm pretty sure Ninokuni will be released in the west. I still hope for a suprise announcement regarding Soma Bringer and/or Sigma Harmonics. Realistically it will be just Layton 4 and Ninokuni though.

I would do terrible things if it meant Retro Game Challenge 2 and/or 7th Dragon got localized.

We'll def get Layton 4, Ninokuni and probably IE2-3 imo.  Even if they're all 1-2 years late.

Im alone in this but it would have been better for me if Square-Enix published it in America but I take it anyway


No, the fact that Nintendo is publishing it, means that Square Enix refused to and Nintendo needed something for its release schedule.

It really says a bit about where Square Enix's mind set in the western region in regards to its RPGs, when it seems like the only thing that will touch our shores are Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts games.

Really, Nintendo? Have those ridiculous advertisements for DQIX really made tween girls the intended demographic for Dragon Quest games outside of Japan now?

Oh, and this better come to Europe soon as well. We clearly like the series better.

Damn localization costs...-_- I need to take up Japanese.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Nintendo's almost certainly going to be the one to localise here in Europe as well.  S-E said a while ago that a European release was 'not on the cards right now' (I can't be arsed to find the news story now, but if you google it one can probably find it quickly). I just wonder how Nintendo are going to market it, because they can't market VI like they did IX - like a dressing up simulator.

I really hope DQIX's sales in Europe mean we don't get screwed over when it comes to RPGs anymore.
