3DS Remake Of Dragon Quest VII Sells 800,000 Copies In Just Four Days

Damn. That's a lot. But when you report sales figures why not post sales of other games for reference?

Can't wait for this to eventually get released in the West, I've enjoyed all the Dragon Quest games that I've played so far

I've only played DQ IX, and loved it. I'd almost certainly pick this up if it gets released in Europe. Have they announced XI yet? Wouldn't be surprised to see it end up as a 3DS game.

Is this selling faster than Animal Crossing?

Sorry if I STILL seem overly negative, bit when was a Western release for this game announced? It wouldn't be the first DQ we missed out on over the last few years...Rocket Slime 3...the anniversary collection...sigh No news on X here yet either.

@Stuffgamer1 Well, we haven't miss any of the main entries since VII came out for the PS1 (even if it only came out on NA), including all the DS remakes. I think we'll see both DQX (at least for the Wii U) and DQVII in NA and Europe, but I have my doubts regarding the spin-offs (Rocket Slime 3 and DQM: TW3DS.)

Wait, they announced a Western release? This seems too good to be true... '-'

I created a strategy guide for that game and later sold the game for a pretty penny when I was short on cash. Now I can use that strategy guide to help me get through the game again since it's been 13 years since I played it! haha

I would love to play that game!

@Peach64 I saw the full chart on IGN last night and yes, it outsold Animal Crossing last week. Of course, it still has a couple million more to go to catch AC for total sales. Nonetheless, amazing. The 3DS is a license to print yen.

I'd get this on day 1 if it came out in NA.

Day 1 purchase. Unfortunately that day 1 purchase will probably be in about 2-3 years when they get around to releasing it here in the states.
And Nintendo wonders why its hardware sales stink in America...

One word: preorder.

Oh yeah!! Localization incoming.

The commercial certainly sold me out.

It will arrive.

I Wonder how the wolf boy character looks like in 3D. . LOL, cant wait to get my hands on this.

Another steller week for NIntendo.

@fchinaski: The aforementioned anniversary collection was main series fare.

Unfortunately, when it comes to DQ, it's "if", not "when".

Why is the CM "naturally" in Spanish? Is that some kind of in-joke that I'm missing?

Only ever played V and IX. I'll prob get this eventually.

i want this sooooooooo bad!

whoa,thats a lot of sales in just four days!

Since I like the original a lot and I'm a Dragon Quest fanboy, this one's a definite buy for me if it's NA bound.

Also, you could call DQ7 "the third Chrono game". Playing the original, I found many elements in it that reminded me a lot more of the Chrono series than what I've seen of the Dragon Quest series, which is probably why it's also considered the "black sheep" of the Dragon Quest line. Even so, it's a wonderful adventure that fans of Squeenix RPGs should definitely play at least once.

@GloryQuestor How is DQVII the "black sheep"? I never found it to be all that different from other DQs. Maybe with the main focus of how you get tot he new worlds, however I found that to be a quirk that was never used before and one that was done well...

@fchinaski We'll probably see Terry's Wonderland by the end of this year and VII next year, the last few Dragon Quest games to come over here have taken about a year to come to the West.
