Nintendo Wants More Dragon Quests… What Are They Waiting For?

Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime says he wants more Dragon Quest. That’s great! Bring’em over!

Yesterday afternoon, Fils-Aime took over Nintendo’s Twitter account to answer fan questions in hilarious and ridiculous fashion. The most noteworthy comment: “I’d love to see a new Dragon Quest game, too!”

Dragon Quest X (Wii, Wii U, PC) – an MMORPG that might get some RPG fans psyched on the Wii U.

Dragon Quest VII (3DS) – a remake of the critically-acclaimed PlayStation RPG that looks fantastic.

Dragon Quest Rocket Slime 3 (3DS) – an action-adventure DQ spinoff involving rockets and slimes and pirate ships.

Nintendo of America published the last few Dragon Quest games — DQIX and DS remakes of DQIV, DQV, and DQVI — in North America. I hear that Reggie has like 200 hours clocked on DQIX. I bet he’d dig the 3DS remake of DQVII, too. If only some sort of publisher could come along and localise it for English-speakers…
