Wii U

SEGA has said outright that Sonic Generations isn’t coming to Wii. However, Nintendo has a much more powerful console launching next year that could certainly handle the project. So, would SEGA consider porting the title to Wii U?

Apparently it’s something that the company is thinking about. In order for it to happen, though, sales of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of the game will have to surpass their internal expectations. TSSZ says that, according to their source, a “secondary” game is in the works for the new console.

“Regarding the prospects of a Wii U Generations port, our source indicates Sega could prepare it for the system’s launch sometime next year, but only if sales of existing versions far exceed Sega’s internal expectations. Even if that doesn’t pan out, the source says there indeed is a Sonic in the works for the system, and it is likely another secondary title. If that holds, it would continue Sega’s strategy of keeping primary fare on XBOX 360 and PS3, while Nintendo consoles get their own unique games.”

Although Dragon Quest X won’t be playable at the Tokyo Game Show next week, Square Enix will be bringing a video to the show. The game’s official site did not say if the footage will be of the already-released trailer. Square Enix may also provide some information on Dragon Quest X’s beta program.

There’s no question that Dragon Quest X has been in the works for several years. Square Enix announced the title back in 2008, but development must have started before then.

As it turns out, Square Enix has been making the game for much longer than originally thought. According to an ex-Square Enix employee, its development has already passed the six year mark.

Square Enix’s support Q&A page has confirmed what most had already assumed: Dragon Quest X will indeed have subscription fees. Along with purchasing the game itself, players will need to spend some extra cash to continue playing online. The page doesn’t elaborate on pricing or any other details.
