Depressing how much of it is handheld-bashing, though. Handhelds are consoles too, darnit! :)
Interesting.
So the question is... where will Nintendo find the extra DSes they'll need to sell in Japan when this thing comes out? They're already selling everything they can make...
Burn! Sony just lost the best selling RPG series in Japan, and to a handheld no less.

In related news, I think Dragon Quest VIII is incredibly overrated, and I can't wait to get a DS to play IX. Is there any news on the Wii Dragon Quest?
I'm pretty sure FF is the best selling RPG series in Japan.
No, Dragon Quest is. FF is the best selling RPG series in the US I'm pretty sure, though...

There are some pictures floating around somewhere on GAF. The game is pretty much a sequel that other DQ game where you plug a motion-sensing sword into your TV and fight monsters with it. Although, it looks much, much better than the previous entry.

... it's like we're getting all of the Square/Enix N64 RPGs we didn't get on the N64... (though the DS does have one huge difference from the N64 in that it has lots of 2d games, while most of the n64 days were the "2d is stupid, this new 3d stuff is so much better so why would anyone want to play 2d anymore?" times so there were very few...) (and I almost certainly wouldn't get this game even if I had/once I have a DS, but oh well, it's a nice trailer anyway)
