" If you're both a Nintendo and a Square Enix fan, you might want to have a seat. Sources close to Nintendo tell IGN that the publisher of the acclaimed Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest franchises is in development with not one, but two titles for the Big N's new generation Wii console."

They then talk about the already known about Crystal Chronicles, but then they go on.

"As for the second Square Enix Wii title, sources stop just shy of slipping us the name, but one insider we chatted with did allege that it's a game which will "make Japanese RPG fans very, very happy." Uh, with Final Fantasy already announced, only one other Square Enix series comes to our mind: Dragon Quest. "

IF TRUE, the amount of Wii systems sold in Japan would be amazing.

E3 is almost as good as Christmas, if not better.

It's official. Wii will win Japan.

QFT. It's the most exciting time of the year.

"1:51 Here we go--Dragon Quest is coming to the Wii. Some dude is fighting a stone golem in a forest. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. Launch title for the Wii! No real footage of the game, but still, big news. "

"1:54 The hits keep on coming--now we have Akitoshi Kawazu, exec. producer of Crystal Chronicles. Two new games from that series: one DS, one Wii. DS game is Ring of Fates, and will have wi-fi multiplayer (duh). Looks a bit more whimsical than the Cube version, same basic sense of style though. They're showing four players at once, like you'd expect. Yay DS!"

Dragon Quest WII is huge news for Japan sales.

They are still showing, unfortunately alot of the titles are Mobile (wtf?) and the expected FF13 is going PS3, like we didn't see that coming, and now they are announcing some sort of action game based on FF13 which will release on the PS3 as well.

I still think Nintendo's titles featured were better then Sony's.

Holy ! Now I'm getting a Wii for sure. Oh wait, I already was anyway .

But DQVIII was my favorite RPG current gen so far (still have many to play). I never thought I'd be able to play anything like that on the Wii.

Hoo-boy, I never imagined Dragon Quest would make an appearance on Wii. I looooved DQVIII and can't wait to play this one, but I'm even more excited about how this will drive sales, especially in Japan. If Wii does anything like the DS, just imagine all the great games that will be sure to follow from Konami, Capcom, Namco, etc.!!

I'll be cautiously optimistic about Dragon Quest Swords: Good God This Name Is Longer than Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Offical Game Of The Movie.

Dragon Quest spinoffs in the past haven't been anywhere near as good as the main series. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it though.

The first thing I thought of was this:

I was about to post the same thing.

Gotta be something like that.

They may just port DQVIII. That would be pretty crappy.

Square will probably say " you America, you get nothing until a year after Japan gets it"

As a side note, there are rumors that Dragon Quest for Wii is a game that has been adapted from another console, including the possibility of either a Cube upgrade or, bizarre as it seems, a plug-n-play device.

....
Well, that would suck

There was a DQ game on the Cube?

And yes, that would suck. Good hype, Square.
