Everyone seems to be disinterested by the online angle of DQX, but I'm actually pretty excited about the whole ordeal. Personally, I think traditional DQ titles are way too focused on monotonous grinding, but I think a co-op feature will make battles much more engaging.

Earthbound holds a special place in my heart; I'd have to go with that.

Why do people keep implying that Mario Kart Wii was a good game? It doesn't matter how smooth online play is when the gameplay is fundamentally broken. It is easily the worst Mario Kart game ever to be made.
