About Me
Hey Dtoid. Welcome to perritoid!

I'm a 23 year old artist/teacher. While in University I experimented mostly with Animation, Video, and Games.

The lovely [dearly departed] Anthony Burch* featured the fruits of my experimentation here on Destructoid as part of the Indie Nation Series Which probably is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me! One of many reasons why I love Destructoid.

*The [formerly] Resident Person Named Anthony Who Isn't Anthony Perri.

My first console was the SNES. It remains my favourite, and I've been playing games ever since without pause. Recently I've been a little burned out on the modern sensibilities of a suddenly overwhelmingly Western market. Most of the HD games don't appeal to me.

I currently live in Korea where I teach english and avoid Starcraft [and the north].

Dragon Quest X was announced minutes ago. Wii-bound!
perri | 11:38 PM on 12.09.2008 17 comments


I decided to peruse Neogaf before bed. That was a mistake as it turned out Squareenix was holding some mysterious Dragon Quest event.

I'm going to keep this short because there isn't much to be said.

"The next 10 Dragon Quest Wii" and voluntarily Yuuzi Horii, who was speciousness. "First of all you Dragon Quest 9!" People say.

That is a google translation, provided by some gaffer, of the official announcement. Some Japanese blog is live blogging it, they changed their headlines to 'Dragon Quest X coming to Wii' so unless it's a complete hoax, than that seems pretty legit. I guess we'll see later on today.

UPDATE: Reuters confirms, Also DQ IX date and price.

I've never played Dragon Quest but I've always wanted to. I know this will be a huge deal for Japan, and along with Monster Hunter it seems that Nintendo has all but won the land of the rising sun.

This a big deal for you guys?

Wow.

So long as its a real deal Dragon Quest title, that's awesome news. These games are traditional super solid, and this would be a ridiculously awesome addition to the Wii line up. COnsidering the severe lack of RPG on the Wii, this is amazing news!

They suck for bringing an RPG to an RPG-starved system? I think that's a good thing, actually. Not a Wii fan? :P

I'm just glad to get an RPG on the Wii, although I do appreciate the simpleness that is a Dragon Quest game.

About that Reuters article: Whoa, a $65 DS game?

I decided to reply to this DQX blog because the other one turned into fanboy console war bullshit.

I'm a HUGE DQ superfan. I've played all eight of the main games and I'm PSYCHED to hear this news. Not so much for the announcement of it on the Wii (Most DQ fans have been speculating since the announcement of IX that X would be on a Nintendo console), but the fact that its being announced SO SOON. The past few years have had one DQ game per console generation. Announcing it on the Wii implies that it's been in development for a while and we won't have to wait until 2016 to play this one.

That makes me happy.

DQX for Wii sounds a lot better than DQIX for DS to me.

DQ has never been very graphic focused and considering the enormous casual appeal of the DQ series in Japan, this was the only logical conclusion. People should be happy, that there is now ONE game (that won't be out until 2010) to look forward to on the Wii.

@Salty Soil

Japanese DS games tend to carry a rather hefty price tag compared to DS games in other regions. Expect to pay a premium for big titles like RPGs.

I really couldn't be happier! I really do need an RPG for my Wii. As for everybody complaining, why? It was expected wasn't it? I don't doubt that the graphics will be great on Wii, its a traditional RPG so...Why does it require all that horse power?

Also, if you don't have a Wii- 09 is prime time to get one, its coming of age, thankfully.

An interesting choice indeed. Wii does need some rpg love.

I think the reason for this is that SE want to push DQX onto PS2 aswell, so more japanese gamers can get their hands on it.

You'd think that SE would be more worried about selling this series outside of japan, especially with a recession on, and therefore spread it onto all home consoles (PS3/360).

However, I'm still yet to get a Wii, so if I do manage to get one, I'll pick this up.
