I know I’m probably not the only person in the world who’s looking forward to Dragon Quest X. It’s one of my highly anticipated Wii games along with Skyward Sword, Kirby Wii and a few others. Unfortunately, not much is known about the next in the Dragon Quest series. In fact we’ve had barely any news since […]

When asked about the possibility of a Capcom character or two making it into the game’s Wii U and 3DS installment, he replied: I can’t say that it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility […]
