That's nothing, that's only 1 game coming from a third party which isn't even Japan oriented and it's not getting released in Japan for the Wii so far (Virtu Tennis 4 has only been confirmed for 360 and PS3 in Japan).
M&S is a conjunct venture between Nintendo and Sega, much like the Fatal Frame Remake or Pandora's Tower. Thrid parties have not announced shit since last year. Wii is dead already. And those DQ games you name aren't exactly obligatorily in development. Those are just speculation, and remember Wii 2 dev kits might have been in devs hands for at least a year now, that could explain the total lack of Wii announcements and the more aggressive HD focus (so that Wii 2 could have ports ready)

This is all beside the point, since DQ is pretty much unlike any other 3rd party console game.  It has more in common brand wise, influence wise, and sales wise with 1st party Nintendo fare like Wii Sports or NSMB than it does anything on consoles from Sega, Bandai Namco, Tecmo Koei, Konami, Capcom, Atlus, Level 5, etc, etc. That's why boiling this down to the same tired 3rd party arguments is always such a meaningless approach, DQ really plays by it's own rules, it literally defies those arguments.

And what's not speculation is Horii confirming multiple DQ games are in development for Wii. You're free to speuclate otherwise but at the end of the day, that's nothing but speculation on your part. ;)

Yes, but if Wii was seen as such a viable platform, then why do 3rd parties including SE keep avoiding it? Why aren't the mainstream and big games not being released on the Wii? I agree that Wii can sell those games, but third parties don't want their games on the Wii, it's simple I'd say. Otherwise SE would have released something else besides cheap spin-offs of DQ games on the Wii or at least given the Wii a proper FF in the FFXIII universe.

@bolded: Wasn't that a mistranslation? ;)

No because DQX has been in development since 2008, while the otehr ones might have recently started development. I doubt they have been idevelopment since 2009 or before because it wouldn't take much time to make a spin-off compared to a mainline game.


Not necessarily. DQ IV, V, and VI were announced July 2007. IV was released later that year but DQ V wasn't until late 2008 and DQ VI until early 2010. A Wii DQ remake should take longer.


That's because the same team was making the trilogy if I'm not mistaken. So it was 1 game at a time. 3DS was probably revealed to developers in 2009 so they might have switched the development to 3DS as early as 2009, and that's be before they even considered making anotehr DQ game for the Wii. And then with the 2010 confirmation to devs that Wii successor was on its way, I'd doubt anyone in their right minds would chose to develop a Wii game. It's either move the little development made to the 3DS in 2009 or scratch the project. Many cancelled projects are being blamed to the Earthquake, but that's just an excuse devs are using to justif cancelling games. Like Momotarou Railway or Disaster Report 4, or the 3DS games.

I think that if there were some Wii games still unannounced, then it's probable that they have been scratched off or simply moved to 3DS. Moving to Wii 2 may also be possible if Nintendo asked those companies to do so in order to have support at launch and onwards.

That's like 3 weeks old and also from the database he's compiling. I doubt VGC is that off, it's impossible.

Again, you're falling into the same tired 3rd party logic trap.  You should be asking "is Horii avoiding it?" because honestly, the man doesn't seem to give a shit what any other 3rd parties do (including the rest of SE).  And so far Horii's given Wii more games than he has PSP, 360 and PS3 combined.  DQ might as well be a first party game too at this point (and it is outside Japan).

Also, it wasn't a mistranslation?  Where did you read that?

Actually, the VGC figures are probably impossible.  That database comes from the weekly top 50, and that accounts for over 80% of sales on average.

Do you still have the link to that quote where he confirms multiple games?
I cannot find it

Forget a DQ8 port; where are the FF6 and FF7 remakes going, NGP or 3DS?

FFVI will go to 3DS, after FFV.  FFVII will probably be Square-trolling-it's-fanbase-material for the next decade and probably not happen.

That remake would be a catalyst for a substantial support shift if ever it were to appear.

The sky is the limit with Summons popping out at you in 3D but SE has supported the PSP like madmen for years.

Despite all the software Square Enix has released (remember Mindjack?), FF7 is still the most requested title. After 15 years, that still hasn't changed. Now the NGP is coming.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

They are logical figures and I don't see anything out of order there, check them. I think Famitsu is making a mistake somewhere or he's not compiled the figures correctly.

How do they compare to MC?
