Nintendo of America is bringing over the “original” version of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. So, all of the content from the “Professional” version will not be included.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional was released in Japan back in March. It featured new elements such as a slew of additional monsters.
Nintendo of America will be releasing the first edition of the game on September 19.
Nintendo’s Bill Trinen also provided the following information about the upgrade system in the game:
“What I can say though is what we have done with the game this time that I think a little bit different is… They’ve built an entire upgrade system into the game. So for example, right now you can see that Link has his traditional shield, but he actually will get a lot of diferent shields in the game. He will start off with a very basic one, and then as you fight enemies, you will recover these kind of treasures or artifacts that you can then use as resources to upgrade your items. And you can do that with your shield, you can do that with the beetle, and some of the other items that you have where you’re able to kind of combine your collection of rupees and your collection of resources and improve the items that you have.”
Nintendo did discuss this feature during E3, but I don’t believe they went into this much detail. We now know that Link will be able to obtain multiple shields throughout the game.

Torrance, Calif. – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, today announced a partnership with NAMCO BANDAI Games that will bring Fishing Resort, a new title themed around arcade-style fishing and recreations, to North America exclusively for Wii™. Developed by PROPE in Japan, the studio led by celebrated visionary and creator of Sonic, Yuji Naka, Fishing Resort drops players into a tropical island locale which they can explore as they see fit – this is a vacation after all! The agreement with NAMCO BANDAI Games grants XSEED Games exclusive publishing rights to Fishing Resort in North America when the game ships this fall.
“We appreciate NAMCO BANDAI Games giving us the opportunity to once again work with PROPE and Yuji Naka’s team of visionaries on another original game property that delivers an engaging entertainment experience,” commented Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “Fishing Resort is an especially interesting title, blending accessibility with more complex game mechanics that players of all abilities can appreciate.”
Capcom is finished with Mega Man Legends 3. And, sadly, they aren’t going to be returning to the franchise anytime soon.
So here’s a random thought: what if another developer resumed development where Capcom left off? While that’s probably never going to happen, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama actually said that he’d love to work on the series.
Matsuyama said the following when he was asked which series he would like to develop:
“It would be Mega Man Legends 3. I really like the series!”
Matsuyama added that he was disappointed that Capcom cancelled the game.
