Dragon Quest X (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dragon-quest-x/) will be released in Japan for Wii U in Spring 2013, Square Enix announced today. Last month DQX producer Yosuke Saito told attendees (http://kotaku.com/5945489/expect-the-wii-u-version-of-dragon-quest-x-next-spring-maybe-hopefully) at the Tokyo Game Show that next Spring was the aim, but the release window was confirmed today during a Nintendo Direct for Japan.

An open beta is scheduled for February 2013. Saito also confirmed Square Enix is working on making Wii characters compatible with the Wii U version.

The MMO arrived on Wii back in August, selling over 400,000 units (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/08/dragon-quest-x-sells-more-than-400-000-at-launch/) in its first week. A Western release for either verson remains unconfirmed, so don't start pencilling away the greater part of 2013 just yet.
