Dragon Quest Collection boxart, has Dragon Quest X footage, bonus items
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Dragon Quest Collection has a final release date of September 15 in Japan. It’ll cost ¥4,440. But what’s really interesting is that the disc will contain the first footage ever of Dragon Quest X, a new title in the series that has been in development for about three years.
That news alone will probably ensure that the game will sell a ton of copies (and the fact that’s it’s Dragon Quest). However, Square Enix is preparing to ship it will other bonuses. Here’s a rundown of what fans can expect, courtesy of Andriasang:
Famicom Shinken Guide Reprint
A reprinting of a classic guides for DQI, II and III, totaling 130 pages. This was produced with the cooperation of Shueisha. The content is unchanged from the original versions.
“Small Medal” Recreation
A recreation of a classic DQ series item. This will be included only as a first print run bonus.
Dragon Quest Art Collection
This collection has artwork and development materials. It will be included on the game disc.
25th Anniversary DQI, II and II Opening Anime
This will show when you load up the game disc. The newly produced animation is from Kamikaze Douga, which also did the animation for Dragon Quest IX and Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory.

Even Amazon is posting about Operation Rainfall on their Twitter
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Xenoblade, or should I say Monado: Beginning of the World – shot up the Amazon charts over the weekend. It actually took the top spot as the best-selling video game on the site over the weekend. It’s still hanging in the top ten.
Given Xenoblade’s success and attention on Amazon, I suppose it was inevitable that even the retailer said something about “Operation Rainfall” on their Twitter account. Earlier today, the following message was posted:
“If you were curious about Monado (Xenoblade) for Wii, @IGN has a nice article up in support of @OpRainfall. http://go.ign.com/jrDA2f”

More talk from IGN’s George regarding Nintendo’s Japanese Wii games statement
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo will be making a statement to IGN in the very near future about the campaign that has been began just a few days ago in hopes of bringing a few Japanese titles to North America. It’s not a matter of if, but when. Their remarks should be coming in the very, very near future.
At this point, I don’t see how Nintendo can dodge the question about these missing Wii games. There has never been a campaign like this before and the Big N is definitely aware of what’s going on.
While you wait for their statement, you can check out a bit of perspective from IGN’s Nintendo executive editor. Note that a few hours before the day ended on Monday.
Just thought I’d jump on here with an update – you’re not going to get a comment today, obviously. It’s the end of the business day and has been for a couple hours now. I’m about to head out in a few myself.
However…
Nintendo assures me a statement is coming. They generally don’t keep quiet like this unless they’re mulling over what to say or are approving through Japan. If they really don’t want to say anything, they’ll kick it aside pretty fast. Sometimes, however, they will take a day or two only to come back with something that really isn’t significant. (Sometimes they’ll do that for a simple ‘no comment’ though that’s a little rare.) It could be that they want to say something but Japan disagrees. It could be they’re debating exact wording. They’ve seen your passion though, so don’t discount that. I have to say this whole thing has been pretty remarkable. Even if nothing comes of it, the folks involved with Operation Rainfall have managed a pretty cool (and calm) feat here. It’s admirable to say the least.
