Glee! Dragon Quest IV Dated, V and VI Confirmed For US
I'll admit that I've been a silently exuberant about the Dragon Quest IV port to the DS. Sure, the Final Fantasy rehashes are nice, but I've seen them so many times it is almost like paying taxes or flossing. I know I'm going to buy them, and play through them, but it's become robotic. Dragon Quest, however, has been a series that hasn't really seen much of the US shores.
Thankfully, the folks at Square-Enix have seen an untapped market and decided to officially announce the localization of Dragon Quest IV. It is scheduled for a September 16, 2008 release and if you really want to know more about the title you can hit up their web page for more details.
In additionally awesome news, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie have both been confirmed for a US launch, making every Dragon Quest title available in the US.

I've been waiting years for dq 4...
But, getting the two we've been missing is awesome too.
I've been a Dragon Warrior (Quest) fan since the beginning. I still own 1, 2, 3, & 4 for the NES, 1/2 & 3 for the GBC & 7 & 8 for their respective consoles. I also like the spinoff Monster games, although I missed the 2 middle ones (Tara & ?Coby?).
So this is GREAT news. I just wish they'd have dated 5 & 6, it would have made it a little more concrete for me being as they're the only one's I haven't played. I also wish they'd hurry (not messy/buggy/glitchy hurry, just impatient fanboy "I want it now" hurry) with 9 & put a U.S. release date on it. Yes I know they aren't even close to done.
