It would seem that Nintendo’s platforms have become the official home forDragon Quest, unwilling as the series is to yet grace the Xbox 360 and PS3. Punctuating that, ourcommunityblogshave revealed thatDragon Quest Xhas been announced, and is heading to the Wii.
DQ IXis due to launch on the Wii on March 28 in Japan, where it will retail for 5,980 yen.
This is good news for Wii fans who enjoy videogames, rather than the stuff Nintendo of America tries to push, as theDragon Questseries is one of the best examples of hardcore JRPG gameplay out there.Dragon Quest VIII, one of the fewDQtitles to ever come to Europe, was a real arse kicker, but brilliantly realized.
HopefullyDQ Xcontinues the tradition of tough, high quality RPGs to give Wii owners something really substantial to chew on.
