According to this Reuters article, yeah, looks like it's confirmed.
haha, looks like I was editing as you were commenting. Wish I wasn't on dial up- would be a much smoother affair.
heres a famitsu link aswell.

FUCK YEAH, Wii!!!
Damn. Why is Square-Enix sucking so much lately.
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!
woo!
@Takeshi
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.
Charlie Brown said it best when he said
Ugh
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.
Yay!!! A new something I can play on my Wii!!!
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.
