[Wii] Dragon Quest Swords Heads to North America

Along with the release of DQJ Monsters. It seems that Square Enix is now finishing up developing Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. And it seems that the game will be relesed February 26, 2008. Which's a week and a half behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl's date (2-10-08)

Here's my take on the game, from seeing the trailer. The game is a FP-RPG. Which you only use the Wii-Remote to control your characters movement and attacks.

Depending on the angle of your slash -- that will be displayed on screen. Be it an angled slash, vertical or horizontal slash.

Performing spells is also done by the Wii-Remote only. Depending on the spell that you highlighted and clicked on; you will be given these different tasks to do. When you see a stick figury person in the center of the screen. They will show what you need to do.

And when enemies are on the offensive. This is where guarding comes into play. Press and holding the A button brings out your shield. Depending on where the attack is gonna land, you need to point to that spot right away, otherwise you will take damage. And this must be done often, so to reduce the damage done by more bigger and tougher enemies.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, unlike the Japanese (or Imported version). The North American version will have extra features as well. Among them are 4 hidden bosses.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
