Gigazine is covering a mysterious Dragon Quest Press Event at Tokyo’s Park Hyatt hotel. It’s due to start in 30 mins or so. :o :o :o
Based on the schedule, it looks like they’ll be announcing a new game, including staff, etc.
Edit:
Okay… Dragon Quest IX will be hitting Japan on 28th March 2009, for 5980yen. The game finally has a release date! Yay. Looks like the announcement isn’t really major………
HOLD UP!
HORII SEZ DQX IS FOR THE WII! IWATA SAYS THANK YOU! OMG!!!!!!!
Oh, and some independent confirmation from famitsu would be nice, given that gigazine is down, ostensibly from the ridiculous traffic because of the announce:
そしてさらに、次回作『ドラゴンクエストX』がWiiで開発中であることも明らかに！！
Apparently it went down something like this:
Wada: Iwata’s appearances are rare, so I’m really happy. Completing DQIX is a big relief. A “thank goodness” kind of feeling
Iwata: Thank you for developing DQX on the Wii
Well, that about wraps it up for the PS3 in Japan, doesn’t it.
