[21/07] 3DS Gets Free Dragon Quest X App

[C i d]

Square Enix said some time back that in addition to Wii and Wii U, 3DS would feature into its plans for Dragon Quest X. Today, we found out how.


3DS owners can look forward to a series of Dragon Quest X related apps. The first of these is titled "Dragon Quest X Boukensha no Odekake Benri Tool Vol.1," which translates to something like "Convenient Tool For Adventurers On the Go: Vol.1."


This tool lets you view alerts from Dragon Quest X, do SpotPass exchanges using your DQX character, view information about friends and support characters, send letters to friends, and view product information from the Travelers Bazaar.


This first DQX app is free. Square Enix has not yet said when it will be released.


The source for this latest DQX update is, as always, Jump. The magazine also has details on an item called "Key Emblem." This item plays an important role in the game's story, as it's needed to turn your character back into human form. The Key Emblem is scattered throughout the world.

...are Square Enix ever going to release something that isn't a complete waste of time on the 3DS?

I mean, as nice as a free app is, that this will be the first one, and that they don't specify that the rest will be free, bothers me. Either the rest will cost money, or they're testing the waters to see how well received this one is before they decide whether or not they should charge money for the rest, which is just plain annoying.

This is NOT making the full use of the 3DS, Square Enix. Get off your arses and make a proper video game for it.

I got rid of my 3DS months ago and they finally announce this. Go figure

They aren't going to sucker me in again. I'm done with you, Nintendo.
