A new Iwata Asks focusing on Dragon Quest X has been released. This could be one of the final interviews based on a Wii game, as DQX is one of the console’s few remaining high-profile titles.

Director Jin Fujisawa, producer Yousuke Saito, Dragon Quest series creator/game designer Hori Yuuji, and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata participated in the discussion.

The interview is only available in Japanese at present, but a few highlights have been translated into English. More Iwata Asks interviews featuring Dragon Quest could be on the way, so stay tuned. But for now, take a look at the summary below.
