Dragon Quest Swords Coming to Wii

Square Enix, a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software and services, announced the latest title in the Dragon Quest universe—and the first to make the jump to next-generation consoles. Unveiled at Square Enix’s E3 2006 press event, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors will be released for the Nintendo Wii.

“Since 1986, the Dragon Quest series has gained acceptance around the world and has been a staple of video gaming history,” said Yuu Miyake, Executive Producer, Square Enix. “We believe its appeal lies in simplicity that anyone can enjoy, and the excitement of becoming a hero in an epic adventure. With the Nintendo Wii, we believe that these aspects of the Dragon Quest experience can be taken to a whole new level of fun and interaction.”
