Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker coming in November

By Spencer . September 14, 2007 . 4:03pm

November 6, 2007 to be exact. If you want the map/screen cleaner/DS charm you have to pre-order it at Gamestop, GameCrazy or Amazon. The game was a mega hit in Japan, it sold over a million copies. However, it doesn’t feel like North America is buzzing about the game much. Is anyone excited about a cel-shaded Dragon Quest spinoff on the DS?

With nothing but praise surrounding Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker during its launch day in Japan, and from those who imported the title, I know I'm looking forward to this game. Although naturally the sales figures won't even begin to match copies sold in Japan, (considering Dragon Quest is much more popular over there compared to North America) hopefully, like DQ VIII and DQ Heroes: Rocket Slime before it on the PS2 and DS respectively, DQM: J sells well enough to net us the DQ IV, V, and VI remakes on the DS in the States as a future release.

Really? Amazon will have the preorder bonus too? It doesn't mention it on the page for it anywhere.

@rainking187- Square-Enix says so "Additionally, Square Enix, Inc. announced a special pre-order incentive at select retailers. Fans who pre-order a copy of DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker at Amazon.com, EBGames/GameStop, EBGames Canada and GameCrazy will receive an exclusive Green Bays Map Screen Wipe."

Both of these games are awsome pick em up if you can there for game boy color.
