Square Enix has revealed that a demo for Theatrhythm Dragon Quest will be hitting the Japanese 3DS eShop next week - March 11th, to be precise.
Two songs will be playable in the demo - "Adventure" from Dragon Quest III (field stage) and Dragon Quest V's battle theme.
A sequel to Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest offers the same kind of rhythm-based gameplay but with music from the Dragon Quest series taking the place of Final Fantasy - obviously.
While Dragon Quest isn't as well known as Final Fantasy in the west, in Japan it's arguably the bigger series - hence the incredible amount of interest surrounding this forthcoming release in that particular region.
There's no word on whether or not Theatrhythm Dragon Quest will be coming to the west, and Square Enix's recent track record with localising titles from the series hasn't been great. However, the company has recently confirmed that Dragon Quest Heroes is coming out on the PS4 in North America and Europe, so you never know.
Do you have a Japanese 3DS? Will you be downloading this? Let us know with a comment below.

Loved the first Theatrhythm, and being a bigger DQ fan, I would definitely pick this up if it was localized.
Isn't that all the series has is 2 epic tracks?
The character select screen will have quite a number of "warriors of light"
I wonder how they label their main characters, as none of them have actual canon names.
YES! Can't wait to check it out! Already got my copy preordered, but this will tide me over until then.
@Spoony_Tech - No that's Final Fantasy you're thinking of.
Why yes, I do have a Japanese new 3DS and I'm going to get the Digital version
Can't wait!
SOBS DQ V I'm giving SquareEnix until early 2016, then I'm importing this with a New 3DS and all the faceplates that I can afford!
@Geonjaha: can't decide which statement is more ignorant, lol
