Writing that headline made me want to create a game called Beasts and Classes: Beat some Asses!, where you play as a human-type teacher who has to discipline-spank different Pokemon-like students, the ones who didn't do their homework or talked too much in class or whatever.
Anyway, here's the latest report on Dragon Quest X, the game that may simultaneously be the Wii's last big-name release and the Wii U's first must-have title. Here in the gallery, we have a look at six of the game's job classes -- Warrior, Martial Artist, Mage, Thief, Monk, and Minstrel. What job you choose and which of the five tribes your character belongs to determines your look. You can play against type all you want, so if you'd like a cute little green warrior or a muscle-bound, red-skinned, lute-loving Minstrel, that's your call. As always, Akira Toriyama's designs are spot on. Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball fans aren't likely to be disappointed.
We also get a look at three of the game's new monsters, including "Thieving Bunny" and "Smiling Lizard." Smiling Lizard won't be smiling once I'm done that ass!

I'm willing to bet money that if the character designer wasn't Toriyama, no one would say shit like this.
Hottest thing I've read all day.
I'm still swooning from the thought of Holmes destroying that smiling lizard's ass.

Don't hurt me.
He proves Nintendo games aren't only for kids :D
Can you recommend ONE to get me into the series?

I love the dragon quest, but this might be the reason why nintendo does not want to flood the market (the wii) with jrpgs in hopes for this to sell well.
I understand why nintendo would be sucking up to Enix to give their new game a perfect launch in the USA. It is not worth loosing out on regardably the best JRPGs of 2011.
Everything seems great, but I do not if they are going to make you pay subscription fees or not. So it might be best to pass until they confirm a US eddtion and that.
