What next, Chrono Break for the Wii?

And this, this is why I'm a Nintendo fanboi.

It took 10 years, but the awesome things are back in my hands.

This was something unexpected.

Why?
The Wii is byFAR the best-selling system of the current generation. And Dragon Quest has never been known for pushing the limits of technology.

Bahumat, don't remind me about that.
Besides, Squeenix has made it pretty damn clear that they aren't going to do a new Chrono game.

Before DQ9 went to the DS, yeah, it would've been unexpected. Now, not so much.

I'd say I'm looking forward to it, but it's such a long way off there's not much point.

Now Nintendo need get Final Fantasy games for Wii.

Wii is best system out there. You not going to see PS3 and XBOX get any better than Wii. Wii is hard to find in my area.

easy as pie here.

it'd be best to keep your fanboy stupidity out of this discussion.

i actually own all 3, and the 360 is my primary. the wii is my party console. i'll eventually get around to finishing no more heroes and RE4, though.

Again, why?
The DQ games have always been on whatever the most popular system in Japan was.

I said it was unexpected because most fans would assume it would end up on the PS3. Now that Nintendo is at the top again, then it makes sense for any company to do what it takes to put their big game on the Wii.

Well, so have the Final Fantasy games. But see the only system FF13 is -not- ending up on.

that situation is different. had nintendo not ticked off square so much, FF very much could have stayed on nintendo, and sony wouldn't be the powerhouse they are today.

basically it's not that FF went onto the most popular console, it's that whatever console had FF became the most popular. that's only changed this gen because squeenix can't really afford to not tap into the 360 north american userbase.

I don't think FF7 alone would have tipped the scale in Nintendo's favour.

But to look at it from another side, if what you say is true, why wasn't DQ8 on the GBA? =p In fact, why hasn't there been a single main series DQ on the GBA at all? Aside from remakes, there never even was a DQ on any Game Boy handheld. And don't say it's because they're handhelds, people were saying "DQ goes to the most popular platform" when 9 was announced, too.

do DQ spin-off, such as DQ/DW Monsters, count?

if what i say is true, then DQ doesn't apply. assuming you were still talking to me.
