Square Enix may release Dragon Quest X for Wii and Wii U, Anniversary Collection on conscious decision
Dragon Quest X has been in development for Wii for many years. However, with Wii U on the horizon, it’s possible that the title will be released for Nintendo’s upcoming console as well.
Speaking at a shareholder’s meeting, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada said that the company has to consider releasing the project for both platforms. This was in response to a question about whether it makes sense to launch Dragon Quest X for Wii when the system has passed its prime. Currently Square Enix is looking into the Wii U hardware from a technical standpoint and is evaluating how to support the console.
Regarding Dragon Quest Anniversary Collection, Wada was pressed on if he expects the title to perform well on the market given the fact that the package primarily consists of ports. Wada said that the titles are being left as is to honor the series’ 25th anniversary.
