Dragon Quest Unchained

Folks. Nintendo has been desperate for games lately, and Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower and Last Story ain't gonna cut the cheese regardless if its in America or not. What Nintendo needs is a real game. So when we went to SquareEnix, they didn't come out with something that we were searching for.

That game is Dragon Quest X. At first, it was thought to be cancelled for Wii, but a recent panel reveals that all isn't lost.

Last night’s Dragon Quest press conference was packed with information on Dragon Quest X: Waking of the Five Tribes Online. Yes, online. Dragon Quest X is an online role playing game, but it will have a strong story. Details about the scenario were not announced.

While other Dragon Quest games were outsourced to Chunsoft, Heartbeat, and most recently Level-5, Dragon Quest X is being developed internally at Square Enix.


Internally at SquareEnix's laboratory. Let's hope DeeDee doesn't sneak into this one. However, it seems it isn't only on Wii. Word has it that it is also coming on Wii U

Dragon Quest X will be released for Wii and Wii U. Both players will be in the same game world and it is possible to transfer data from the Wii version to the Wii U release. The difference is Dragon Quest X for Wii U version will have enhanced graphics. A 3DS feature is being developed where you can transfer character data from the Wii game to your 3DS specifically for tag mode. Characters you meet by passing other players in real life will appear in your game.

A beta test for Dragon Quest X is in the works and will require USB memory. The game supports the following devices: Wii remote/nunchuck, USB keyboards, Classic Controller, and Classic Controller Pro. Dragon Quest X is slated for release in 2012 for Wii and is TBD for Wii U. A price and possible usage fee are TBD.


Wii and Wii U. That's right. SquareEnix is going all out. And 3DS Compatibility.

But personally, this isn't the game I'm looking for. What a real game needs is boobs, blood, and American Patriotism. And sadly, like The Last Story, Xenoblade and Pandora's Tower(And Zelda: Skyward Sword), Dragon Quest X lacks Boobs, Blood and American Patriotism. The latter which is present in many Call of Duty games. Is it a sign that Nintendo is going Socialist and SquareEnix is jumping on that train alongside SEGA? Teabaggers, beware Nintendo.
