Dragon Quest collection hitting Wii with repackaged classics

Dragon Quest fans rejoice...if you're in Japan. A celebration for Dragon Quest turning 25 comes in the form of a new Wii title with a bunch of old Dragon Quest titles to choose from.

- Wii collection includes 5 games
- games included are: Dragon Quest (Famicom), Dragon Quest 2 (Famicom), Dragon Quest 3 (Famicom), Dragon Quest 1&2 (Super Famicom) and Dragon Quest 3 (Super Famicom)
- original versions running on Wii
- played with Wiimote, Classic Controller/Pro and the Game Cube conroller
- September release
- being released as a commemorative 25th anniversary title for the Dragon Quest series
- 57 million Dragon Quest franchise units sold as of December 2010
- special anniversary site coming
- more anniversary celebrations as well
- Wii collection will include bonus items

No word of it coming to the states, which puzzles me after they made such a mad push trying to get America interested in the franchise. Maybe it will come. Keep your fingers crossed.

Doubtful, why would we want to celebrate something we didnt really know about!?

That's true. They could at least put some of these titles up on the VC. Then again, a lot of translation would be necessary to make it playable. Sadly it seems we may miss out on this compilation.

Won't stop me from buying a copy! :3
