Although it won’t be made for the 3DS, it sounds like the developers are considering some connectivity with the handheld. During the Dragon Quest conference, Yuji Horii mentioned that the team may implement a transfer system to move characters for SpotPass data exchanges.

Here’s one piece of interesting information: if you purchase the game on Wii, you’ll be able to resume your progress on Wii U. No further information was shared, though.

Square Enix unveils Dragon Quest X

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Despite being announced almost three years ago, we haven’t heard or seen anything related to Dragon Quest X. Not a single screenshot has been published, nor has a second of footage been released. That’s all changed today thanks to Square Enix’s “Dragon Quest conference” that is currently underway in Japan.

A trailer was just shown and details are expected soon. We’ll have the video for you shortly.

Dragon Quest X almost confirmed for conference

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments

Sankei Biz’s schedule lists Square Enix’s impending press conference as “Square Enix Holdings Announces Dragon Quest X.” Perhaps they have some inside information… or perhaps they’re just making an educated guess!

In any case, we’ll know for sure in about 15 minutes…
