Dragon Quest VII For 3DS Ships 1 Million Units In Japan!

Dragon Quest VII for PlayStation is one of the best selling games in the long running RPG series which made it a logical choice to bring over to the successful 3DS. The enhanced and newly subtitled Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden launched in Japan on February 7, 2013 and has already shipped 1 million copies which is great news for fans in North America. While Square Enix has not made an official announcement about an english language release through them, the game stands a good chance of making it to the states through the guardian angel of handheld Dragon Quest, Nintendo. Square Enix brought over Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen and Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride on the original Nintendo DS but they opted out of the final two games for the system. Nintendo stepped up to handle publishing duties for Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation and Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies and were rewarded with solid sales. I expect we will hear something from one of the two company's later this year. Until then, enjoy the Japanese launch trailer.
