Square Enix has announced that the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X will be free to download for a while – specifically, from today until midnight on March 31st. The game’s online mode will be free for the first 20 days; afterwards you will need to pay a monthly fee. The offline mode will be free indefinitely.

Note that this offer only includes the base game – the two expansions are not included.

Naturally, you can only take advantage of this offer if you have a Japanese Wii U.
