This Marth amiibo apparently comes with an extra head
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Random, Rumors | 12 Comments
Okay, I’m sorry. I just had to post this. It’s part hilarious, part stupid. But here you go! It’s a Marth amiibo… with an extra head. The sheer strangeness of it all is one reason why I’m marking this as a rumor.
If you want this particular amiibo, you’ll need to fork over $1,500. I can’t recommend anyone doing that. That being said, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see it sell!

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, shared a message on the official Dragon Quest X website to ring in 2015. Horii touched on what’s planned for the franchise in the near and far future as Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary approaches.
The message in full states:
Happy New Year, everyone. There is just one year to go until the 30th anniversary of Dragon Quest.
In February, we will release Dragon Quest Heroes, and in March, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. Additionally, while still to be announced, there are many projects in planning as we head towards the 30th anniversary. And then there’s the release of Dragon Quest X Version 3.0 in the spring. Together alongside our fans and development staff, I hope we keep making the series even bigger and better!
Life is a role-playing game. Here’s to many more years to come of Dragon Quest!
Given that Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary is next year, that could be when we hear about the series’ next core entry – Dragon Quest XI.
