Five seconds. Just five seconds. That’s all you get for now!
Square Enix is planning to launch a beta for the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X early next year. It was revealed on today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct that the test is officially set for February 2013. Consumers who purchase the Wii U Premium Sets will receive a voucher to participate in the beta.
The Nintendo Direct broadcast outlined a few other Wii U-specific details as well. It will, of course, feature HD visuals and use of the GamePad, which will house a transparent keyboard. Players will be able to import their character data from the Wii game as the two versions are housed on the same servers.
I get the feeling that Rayman Legends’ Murfy will be one of those love/hate things, just like Rayman Origins’ Mosquito levels. Some people couldn’t care less about him while others are more open to the possibilities he brings to the table.
For those of you who would prefer playing through Legends without Murfy, you’ll be pleased to hear that the entire campaign can be experienced without his presence. Furthermore, it looks like you won’t need to use the GamePad at all if this is something you’d prefer.
Thanks to thomas for the tip.
The video above was shown following the end of today’s Nintendo Direct. I imagine that most of you won’t have any ideas as to what’s being said, but Iwata’s laughs make it worth sharing the footage.
