In Dragon Warrior

Square Enix announced today (2006.12.12) that the next installment of the Dragon Quest series will be on the Nintendo DS.
The title is: "Dragon Quest IX - Hoshizora no moribito" (Protector of the starry sky)



Found on .

I can't wait! I want it!

This is very great news for the DS. This pretty much sums it up:


Oh and this too....

Thanks Kendry for the link to the official page. Nice.

And nice pics, Aaron, where do you find those?
I wouldn't say Sony is dead though... maybe half-dead, like Zombies.
Maybe DQIX will be the best-selling DS game. 4 or 5 million units are definitely possible. I guess I will preorder as soon as it becomes possible.

Got them off Good ol'Google. I could see Dragon Warrior selling lots of copies. But could it out sell Pokemon D&P? I dunno.. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Why shouldn't it outsell Pokemon?
Dragon Quest is the best selling series ever.
Dragon Quest VIII sold over 4 million units in Japan.

Maybe the fact that this is the FIRST Online Pokemon game?
They will be pretty close at unit sales at least. I wonder how many units of Pokemon D&P have sold in Japan?

According to , Pokedom Diamond sold 1996275 times and Pearl 1669367. (as of 10th December)
Together that's 3665642. Until xmas the two games combined could well hit 4 million.

I guess time will tell what sells best. I think it would be nice to see a 3rd party game sell more units than Nintendo software. This would be an incentive for Nintendo to produce still better games.
I wonder how many units of DQIX will be sold in the first week.
A nice bundle with a special edition DSlite would be cool, too and sell like hotcakes.

Manuel, could you translate what they say?

Thanks.

The same trailer on .

Well, they don't say much. There's only one line.

"And, we were called angels"
