At the New York Comic-Con last week, Game Rampage approached Square Enix senior marketing manager Mat Kishimoto about the status of Dragon Quest localizations in the west. When asked if the company hears the outcry of passionate fans, Kishimoto mentioned:

“We hear them, we hear you guys all of em, we hear you guys about Dragon Quest VII and VIII,… X is being begged for. There’s lots of factors that go into decision making like that, so there’s a lot of times we really can’t comment on it but we do um.. we really do hear everybody.”

Kishimoto was also asked if there has been any movement on the localization of Dragon Quest games. Regarding this, he said:

“[Members of Square-Enix are] building the case for each one of these titles to be localized and brought out to the west.”

Square Enix launched the newest Dragon Quest-related game, Dragon Quest Heroes, in North America this week. Kishimoto reiterated something we’ve heard previously: the title’s success could further motivate the company to bring more entries in the series overseas.

Kishimoto said:

“Let’s hope that the success of Dragon Quest Heroes kind of dovetails if you will into the future of Dragon Quest being brought out to the west, let’s hope so!”

Super Mario-kun, a manga series from CoroCoro Comic, has been seeing publication since 1991. It’s now been revealed that Super Mario Maker will be adding a costume based on the series.

In Japan, Super Mario-kun author Yukio Sawada will be coming out with a Super Mario Maker course on November 6. It’s unclear when exactly the costume is joining the game.

Super Mario-Kun is the third new costume coming to Super Mario Maker. Last month, we heard about plans to add in Famitsu mascot Nekki. It was also announced a couple of weeks ago that GameCenter CX’s Shinya Arino will be receiving his own costume.

Based on some information that was recently distributed, it was thought that Level-5 would be releasing a third version of Yo-kai Watch Busters in Japan similar to Yo-kai Watch 2: Shinuchi. However, this isn’t actually so. Level-5 will instead just be making a free update available on December 12 known as “Moon Rabbit Team”.

The Moon Rabbit Team update adds new yo-kai (B-USApyon, Red J, Mighty Dog, Onigama and Onigumo), new big bosses (Robonyan 3000, Kakuseihinokami, and Captain Thunder), and movie characters (Enma Daiou, Nurarihyon, and Fuu2). Level-5 also suggested that there will be some sort of benefit for those who own both versions of Yo-kai Watch Busters.

Take a look at some screenshots and art of the upcoming update below.
