Nintendo holding back on its first party heavy hitters really shows how bad the majority of third party Nintendo console games are. Also, I'll say it again, as if it matters, no franchise mode.
@James: I'd rather it be the best they can make it too, but with it not being ready for launch it just seems like Nintendo still doesn't think the shop is a key feature or it would have been done already. I agree with comment #31 Ren.
Even if that is true, it shouldn't take so long that it will be delayed. Online stuff seems to be very hard for Nintendo (or they waited til the last minute to think about online stuff).
I'm tired of hearing about smart phones in the gaming world and I thought that facebook games were already starting to die, they are in my group of friends anyways.
Thanks for the quick review. Looks awesome. I'll be making a trip out of town Sunday in hopes a bigger city actually puts this game on shelves release day.
Silly IGN. Silly Nintendo. Wonder how the people who never go online with their system will find out about this. I think Nintendo have already shot the Handheld VC in the foot.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo has Nothing to Fear from Mobile Games
I would say Sacred Odyssey lasts longer than Dragon Quest XI, if just for the fact Dragon Quest XI has not been made.
