I actually own a DS, and I only whine about it for action games because the DS gives me the old Blaster Master hand cramp when I play action games with it.

It's interesting that DQIX will take advantage of the DS's bluetooth connectivity, and it sucks that this is America where it probably will NEVER come up. Still... I was shocked when Rocket Slime and DQVIII actually received good reviews out here. I'd have a figured a game known and 'loved' for it's, ah... ancient outdated game mechanics, or 'quirkiness' as some people like to call it, would've been dumped on no matter how much fun it was, silly or not.

I wonder if it will go hearken back to DQIII? I'd like that a lot.
