You gotta give it to Square Enix. They have practically established themselves as one of the best game-makers of our generation, and they are so revered, that the moment they announce a game, the population rejoices and the world suddenly becomes a better place once again.
And so it was when DQ fans got wind of the upcoming Wii title, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. The cha-cha was danced, some broke into song, and most started practicing their shield blocks and sword parries. ... Well, the game DOES require you to use the Wiimote as a sword and a shield afterall.
Also, who are we to argue when the Dragon Quest creator himself has made it this way? So when Yuuji Horii tells you to block with the nunchuck attachment, you do as you're told, dammit. See those cute green Slimes in these new V-Jump scans? If Horii says you have to cut through them with your Wiimote, then you do just that.
The Square Enix charm remains strong. Never mind that the game is the 24678th installment to a series, or if it's about a chocobo who can read, or a slime ball who has to save his village of other slime balls. It's already a given that we'd fall for it each and every time because Squeenix works with things that we've fallen in love with long ago, things that are already close to our hearts, but given a different twist. Now that's some strong magic right there.
