What is especially exciting about this announcement is what it means in terms of the industry. This announcement is going to turn a lot of heads, and it means that the Wii is going to be devoured by hardcore DQ fans.

Therefore, I think we can expect to see a lot more hardcore J-RPG’s for the Wii, because developers and publishers alike now have a guaranteed audience for their games. It opens doors for other hardcore titles as well, but I think we’ll see a very significant flood of J-RPG’s first.

Games are just more expensive in Japan. That doesn’t reflect the North American price. Though it’s a Square-Enix game so it’ll probably be more expensive than other DS games anyway.

What the…? No way in hell I would pay $65 for a DS game! I don’t even pay that much for console games!

Seriously, I get bent out of shape when I see DS games for much more than $30. I’d hope the price comes down before coming out over here.

This is pretty much the biggest exclusive a console can have in Japan.
