Big news on the RPG planet: Square Enix’s cult series, Dragon Quest, will see its next opus tumble to Nintendo DS! And we’re not talking about any spin-off, but about the ninth installment of the saga! Everyone’s been waiting for it on the PlayStation 3, but the Japanese publisher has once again switched platforms, catching everyone off guard… Although in the end it’s gotten into the habit of favoring the most modern console trend of the moment. Opportunism, all that. In any case, of course, the worldwide success of the portable Nintendo is not going to stop so well, and we are already seeing the Sony pundits expressing the worst of the days.
Dragon Quest IX: Hoshizora no Mamoribito (literally “Guardian of the Starry Sky”) is being developed like its predecessor by the talented Level 5 teams, whose first bright idea was to introduce a multiplayer mode supporting up to 4 players simultaneously over Wi-Fi. We let you discover a little more under the first two images as well as the logo and we strongly advise you to take a little walk on the official page, which offers an honestly reassuring video production-wise. Drool now, heaps of larvae, it’s coming out in Japan in 2007… And so really later you know.
