Horii: Dragon Quest X “not that far out”
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
This information comes from Dragon Quest father, Yuji Horii…
“There is not much I can say at this time about Dragon Quest X. I am sorry. But it’s not that far out.”
Remember this picture? It’s from way back in December 2008, when Dragon Quest X was announced for Wii. Since then, we’ve barely heard a peep about the game. But based on what Horii said, it sounds like the title will be resurfacing in the near future. Perhaps it’ll make an appearance at TGS.

Online play a possibility for Kid Icarus: Uprising
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
“The online capabilities are currently being tested. There could be some versus play but we can’t go into any detail. There are a lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of.” – Masahiro Sakurai
Online play was something that I hadn’t really thought about. Although, there certainly could be an opportunity to do something neat in that area, especially with the 3DS’ expanded online functionality.
