Dragon Quest X was released ages ago on Wii, and months ago on Wii U – in Japan, that is. Fans overseas have been waiting for any sort of word on a possible localization.

It does look like Square Enix will be following through on a western release – at least on PC.

When asked by Famitsu if an overseas Dragon Quest X launch is in the works, executive producer Yuu Miyake said:

“Of course. However, as for whether it’ll be run in the Dragon Quest style in the overseas market, every nation has its own play style and sensibilities, so I don’t think it’ll be a single game worldwide like with Final Fantasy 11.”

“This is just my personal viewpoint, but different countries consume their games at different speeds and the way the communities are run also differ. Even the way people enjoy seasonal events is different, so I think we need to divide the running of it by country or region. So we’re thinking about having separate servers for each country.”

Most people felt that by announcing Dragon Quest X for PC, the game had a better shot of coming overseas. However, whether the Wii U version (Wii is certainly not an option at this point) heads west remains to be seen.

No official announcements have been made, but additional toys for Disney Infinity appear to have been leaked through retailer listings.

Entries for Mickey Mouse and Frozen’s Anna and Elsa – since removed – were spotted on Micromania.fr. The retailer listed a November release date for all products.

Frozen could be getting its own Play Set in Disney Infinity, as a “Snow Queen Mission Pack” was discovered on Micromania.fr as well. Another Play Set based on Toy Story was recently discovered through an official video.

That’s not all – Disney also seems to be planning special “Crystal” versions of previously announced characters. These will be made available throughout the year.

Shigeru Miyamoto spoke with Famitsu this week and provided some commentary on Super Mario 3D World. Among the items discussed is the game’s multiplayer. Miyamoto hopes that with the new game, the team can deliver “something where everyone can have fun competing against with each other”.

“With 3D World, we’re aiming for something where everyone can have fun competing against with each other, not just in co-op. If it was a straight competition, it’d be hard to tell characters apart from one other, so with this project we introduced different abilities for each character, letting you play in different ways.”
