"Hatano said that helping to sell Dragon Quest IX outside Japan is part of a larger effort on the part of Nintendo to partner with software makers to sell their games for Nintendo hardware," GameLife summarized. Maybe eventually, Square Enix will announce this game.
Also on the subject of Dragon Quest IX, at the same event, Shigeru Miyamoto praised DQIX's communication mode, which allows players to collect and interact with others' characters passively. "Dragon Quest IX's passerby communication has caused the number of people walking around outside using their DS systems to increase greatly, and I'm thinking that I could probably make something unique like that," he said. And then he said "Also, recently, we got a cat." Hint, hint.

I just want to see DQIX over here so I can play it. I loved DQVIII, I think I'll love this as well.

It just makes me want a sequel to Dragon Quest Swords. And I know I'm the only one.

Yes, Nintendo. Helping third parties market quality games is a GOOD idea. Glad to see we're finally starting to get the picture here.

Seriously...what the hell is up with the DQ IV translation? Was all that gibberish on purpose? I know they were trying to 'simulate' different dialects...but it got taken to such a degree that made the game almost unreadable.

Hopefully NOA does the translation job.
