GenGAME writes: The sales numbers are in for Japan for the week of February 4-10, and the remake of Dragon Quest VII is absolutely dominating the charts. The game released on February 7, giving it only half a week from its launch until these numbers were calculated, and it has already sold a whopping 827,922 copies!
To put that in perspective, this game is selling faster than games like Super Mario 3D Land and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which was the fastest 3DS game to two million sales in Japan. If a remake of an old Dragon Quest game can sell at such an astounding pace, the upcoming release of Dragon Quest X for Wii U could be just the spark that the struggling system needs in Japan.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.

No need for that shit, mod your 3DS and have the whole collection for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I've been wondering for awhile how many holdouts there are for this version. I mean, I never expected it to sell gangbusters - I figured it'd make money through subscription fees - but I feel like the Wii sales were kinda held back...
Thought it was already out?
DQX is a pay to play MMO. The game's destined to flop. Especially on Wii U, a console nobody even wants.
It could certainly entice RPG fans as well as general fans of the series. No one game can carry a console, but any big release can provide a boost, if only a tiny one.
As a huge DQ fan, I don't think it will make too big of an impact. Reasons being:
1) It's been out for a while on the Wii
2) It's an MMO...something not normal for the series. It may not attract a lot of the current fans.
3) People don't seem to happy with DQX based on the Amaazon.jp reviews. I could be wrong.
