Dragon Quest VII 3DS, as you would expect, hasn’t been confirmed for North America. Square Enix says that it is “evaluating” the remake for overseas territories at the moment.
A representative told Joystiq:
“We’re currently evaluating the title for the Western markets, but nothing has been determined. Please stay tuned for more information.”
I wonder if Square Enix would be willing to team up with Nintendo for publishing. Dragon Quest IX was published by Nintendo, so why not DQ VII as well?
Square Enix has opened a teaser site for the newly announced Dragon Quest VII 3DS remake. Access it here.
As usual, there isn’t much to see at present. You can, however, keep it bookmarked for future updates.
Nintendo will be showing the first US commercial for the Wii U tomorrow. A message posting on the company’s Twitter account states that the promo will be shown on its Facebook page.
“Here’s a behind-the-scenes photo from our new US Wii U ad campaign. Visit the Wii U FB Page on 11/1 for the premiere!”
The Facebook page can be found here.
Patrick, you better get on this!

Man, this game actually sounds kinda fun!
– Comes out January 18th, 2013
– “Party Mode” has one person singing the lyrics off of the Gamepad
– Others (who aren’t the singer) follow instructions for singing and dancing that will appear on the TV
– Microphone is wired, but I’m not sure whether it’s wired to the Gamepad or to the Wii U console
– Other players can pick up Wiimotes and use them as a tambourine, cowbell, etc
– “Sing Mode” has you reading the lyrics off of the T
– Judged on pitch, power, and flair
– Can be played solo or in a duet
– “Harmony Duet” option as part of “Sing Mode”
– Others can pass the gamepad around to queue up songs that they want to play next
– Gamepad has a mixer that can mess with the audio and add effects
– You can mute the music so the singer has to perform a capella (hahaha…)
– You can tone down the volume of the original vocals so the singer can be heard better
– Add reverb effects to the singer
– “Team Mode” has teams facing off in singing competitions
– Compete for “best solo”, “best group”, etc

– Someone can be the judge of these competitions if you want
– “Practice Mode” lets you practice songs’ tricky parts
– Practice loops over and over
– Scores and accomplishments (that’s my paraphrase, NOT a secret hidden reference to anything) can be posted on Miiverse for all to see
