Dragon Quest VIII’s North American site was in a teaser state before, but it’s now fully opened. Access it here. The site has detailed gameplay information, clips, and screenshots galore.

Two months ago we covered that early pre-orders of Dragon Quest VIII at the official Nintendo UK Store would get us a free poster, but it seems that the deal has changed for the better.

Nintendo UK’s official Twitter account has just posted that pre-ordering Dragon Quest VIII at the Nintendo UK Store will get us a poster and a Liquid Metal Slime keychain. Now that the deal is better, all UK gamers should pre-order it before Dragon Quest VIII launches on the 20th January, just 9 days away.

 

This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Monster Hunter XX and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional. Scans of both titles can be found below.
