While North America impatiently waits for Modern Warfare 2 and Halo ODST as their most anticipated games this fall Japan is about to get their own most wanted game in Dragon Quest IX, hitting retailers tomorrow.
The day that millions of Japanese and a few faithful importers have been waiting for is nearly upon us.
Dragon Quest IX is the newest in the main-line Role-playing game series and the first in the series to debut on a handheld and feature multiplayer as well as a handful of other new features, such as the ability to customize what your hero looks like.
According to polls taken in Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, Dragon Quest IX has never dropped below the #4 most wanted spot by Japanese consumers in the past two and a half years.
Square-Enix is yet to give any official confirmation of a North American or European release date, but it is expected by most later this year or early 2010.
For those who don't mind the language barrier imports of the game are available at play-Asia for just short of $70 American.
