Before SquareSoft monopolized the RPG franchise with their million dollar productions, there were two top notch series American gamers could rely on: Final Fantasy and the Dragon Warrior series, or Dragon Quest in Japan. Ultimately the games would cease being ported to the US due to poor sales and Enix's shrinking market share (then SquareSoft gobbled it up, arguably for the best). The creativity of Enix is far from dead, as we saw the spinoff Rocket Slime DS on the shelves this year. Thus, we are very hopeful that this new Nintendo Wii version of Dragon Quest will also follow suit.
Details of the game are sketchy, but the basic gist is that the Wiimote will act as your weapon in the game and both the attack screen and town screen will be in first person (the classic games switched from first to third). Check out the four attached screenshots for a sneak peek of what's coming to Japan next Spring -- and hopefully to the US shortly thereafter. The Wii is definitely light in the pants in the RPG department so is much needed stuffing.
