well they held back on it for so many years, spending few months for a multi release won't hurt them I think. Heck it will help ensure even greater sales. DQ can help consoles for sure, but from a devs perspective they should think of how the console can help their sales. So unless Ninty give some financial push to them, I think not going multiplat OR handheld is a bad move.

After what happened with DQIX I expect Ninty have more to say on DQX. I reckon they'll be publishing it, and won't let it go to other consoles. Handhelds is the only tangible possibilty IMO, but even then, you'd have to strip the Wii version WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back to basics for it to work with the (3)DS. And I'm unsure if Nintendo are willing to take that risk...

The lack of info worries me greatly, but I expect an E3 blowout. Hopefully it's nearly finished, and with this, Zelda, couple more E3 games and Pandora's Tower, Wii in Japan will at least remain competitive for one more year

yea I don't think they will let the franchise go multi either. i think we will hear about it at TGS tho not E3

I think leaving it to TGS could be too late for a release this year, and Nintendo really need that to fend off NGP and keep the Wii alive

well I expect way more game announcements for NGP at all big 3 events this year so don't think it will matter much. (those 80 something and growing number of devs needs to tell wth they are working on sooner or later) they won't have a WW release will they? if not i think TGS will be better. But yea either way we will hear about it this year for certain.

True. But I think that Dragon Quest X being released literally the week before/same week as the NGP would completely ruin the NGP's sales. The sooner the better...

And don't forget, there was like 70 devs working on the 3DS, many still haven't told us what they're doing, some were cancelled and some are way off So don't expect to see over 100 NGP games announced before the thing is released!

oh for sure, I'm not expecting them to announce all their games by any means. BUT we only know of 10 games and almost all of them first party only. We will get many many more announcements for NGP than other consoles for sure at the big events for certain. I mean heck I don't think wii will have many new games for it announced anyways. Time will tell.

and about DQx ruining NGP sales, it might do so in the short run but in the long run, if psp is any indication, it will be just fine. Thinking otherwise is wishful thinking at best.

Looks like E3 will have a new Nintendo console to show us. In before the not-to-the-hype sales of the Wii 2 is blambed on the earthquake and tsunami a year later from today.

Yes, but the short term is all it needs to harm it's opening sales, especially if it's a Christmas release...

(I also don't see a Wii2 happening, but a number of the 'Big 5 JRPG'S' (DQX, The Last Story, Xenoblade, Arc Rise Fantasia and Tales Of Graces) being localised for the Wii in the pipeline. And, of course, maybe a Starfox, F-Zero and Pikmin 3, maybe a brand-new IP, and Skyward Sword, Pandora's Tower, that new Kirby game and Vitality sensor. And there's also the likely turn of NSMBWii2 being released. And there's other JP only games they could easily localise...)

I'm not saying that the NGP will be a failure, far from it. But a blow right from the off, as well as a Monster Hunter 3DS game being released soon after, could really wreck the chances of having a lightning start, which could easily deter devs away from the system. It's not just the consumers you have to worry about. If you have an expensive console at a slow start, or a cheaper console with loads of support and nearly 10,000,000 sales already, and good graphics with 3D, which one would you put your big new IP on?

I'm pretty sure the Wii doesn't have any release in May... is there any game schedule for June?

None in April, none in May and none in June so far. Perhaps only in Q4 Wii may be getting games.
