Square Enix is developing a 3DS remake of Dragon Quest Monsters 2 – otherwise known as Dragon Warrior Monsters 2. An official teaser site opened today is located here.

The 3DS version will support up to eight players, StreetPass, local and Internet connectivity, and one save slot. A release date hasn’t been announced at this time.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii is the remake’s director. Akira Toriyama is handling monster designs, while Koichi Sugiyama will be responsible for music.

In April, a new trademark for Dragon Quest Monsters 2 was discovered in the Japanese database. The finding resulted in speculation regarding a potential remake, which has now been revealed today.

Aksys is releasing Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi in North America. Over in Europe, Rising Star Games will be handling publishing duties, the company announced today.

IDEA FACTORY games are known for their complexity and difficulty, and this combination of its unique take on game development and Rising Star Games’ mantra of bringing top quality Japanese gaming to western markets maintains the brand faithfulness of both companies. The first title to be released in this deal is Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi, a romantic visual novel for the Nintendo 3DS. By enjoying the story and following a clever twist of consequences, players will be able to help guide Chizuru, the heroine of the tale, down a path of romance or into a murky world of corruption.

Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi is one of two Idea Factory games coming to PAL territories. Rising Star plans to announce the second one “in the near future”.

At the moment, Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi does not have a European release date. You can view some screenshots in the gallery above.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team sold just 99,972 copies in its first week in Japan with a sell-through rate of 25.49%. This is quite low given the performance of the series’ previous title.

To compare, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story moved 192,945 units in its first week with a 86.75% sell-through rate. Not only did the DS game sell more, it also did so with a smaller shipment. Consumers who purchased Bowser’s Inside Story were made up of a large audience – including grade school students and people in their thirties.

In its weekly report, Media Create mentions how Pikmin 3 launched one week prior to Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and was also a highly-anticipated release from Nintendo. That may have negatively impacted the word of mouth of the 3DS title.
