Japan - Almost two years to the day since Square Enix announced Dragon Quest IX for the DS, they held another surprise conference, this time with an even bigger announcement.

"We're currently developing Dragon Quest X on Wii," said Yuji Horii.

Grinning, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata joined him on stage and thanked him for the announcement.

"Thank you very much for announcing Dragon Quest X on Wii!"

Bad translations aside, other details of the press conference include Dragon Quest IX's release date of March 28th in Japan and a HOT DQIX-branded plastic case for the DS. No other details regarding DQX were released, but it appears the official DQIX and Monster Hunter 3 websites have been updated.

Including this for good measure. I may need to make room for a couple more entries, no?
