Long, hot summer

Dragon Quest IX comes out in North America on July 11th so plan ahead now to decide which sandals go best with your DS's color.

It's interesting that we're getting IX before VI, but since Nintendo's publishing it, I'm assuming they want to try and bolster DQ's image in the west before going ahead with VI. I'm not really bothered one way or another, especially because IX looks so awesome.

Here's some more preview pics! The character customization really looks like a lot of fun. See, this is what I'd wish they'd let us do in the new Pokemon games. Everyone's character looking the same is pretty boring.

Amazon has it up for preorder already, so you know what to do.

Yeah, why is it that the bizarro spinoff games get interesting stuff like that, but the "real" Pokemon games barely get anything new when another one comes out? I could see the dressing up aspect of Battle Revolution put to good use in a new portable game. All we get right now is to select some preset trainer type to represent us when trading or whatever, which is kinda lame.
