When Dragon Quest X was re-announced last year, Square Enix hinted at 3DS connectivity. The latest issue of Jump has confirmed that new portable apps will tie into the game.
According to the magazine, Square Enix will first release “Convenient Tool For Adventurers On the Go: Vol.1”. This is a program that allows players to view alerts and product information from the Travelers Bazaar, make exchanges through SpotPass with your Dragon Quest X character, provides information regarding friends and support characters, and permits letter sending to friends.
Square Enix hasn’t said when the app will go live. It will be free, however.
One other tidbit mentioned in Jump concerns the “Key Emblem”, an item that can return you to your human form. The magazine says that it’s scattered across Dragon Quest X’s world.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
A couple of new Monster Hunter Tri G commercials, highlighting the release of the 3DS XL, will begin airing in Japan. It just goes to show how popular the series is when you can continue advertising one of its games that’s a few months old.
Along with download cards, retail games can be bought digitally with download codes or through direct eShop purchases.
At least two games will be releasing on the European eShop next week. Planet Crashers will be available for £9.00 and Kirby’s Pinball Land drops on the store for £2.70. Both games launch on July 26.
