Yup, there’s a law in Japan regarding the Dragon Quest games. The launch day of a title is restricted to being on a weekend, otherwise everyone stops work and stops going to school and the country shuts down. That’s how big it is.
Initially it was a surprise, but seeing as how DQ games typically come out on the best selling system (and often later in the lifespan) it shouldn’t be too shocking. However, I was sure that another DQ related DS game was being released in Japan soon, so perhaps this is a ploy to encourage fans to purchase a DS for the spinoff knowing that they’ll also be able to play DQIX when it’s released.
As for querying the format choice, I’ll keep in mind that for me, DQ6 was deep and immersive experience and that only came out on a 16bit system (with all the Toriyama SD graphics).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
