Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker dated

via Computer and Video Games


Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker will be available for the DS on UK shores as from March 14, Square Enix has confirmed.

Wildly dubbed as Square Enix's answer to Pokemon, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is the latest in the Dragon Quest Monsters series and the first to be featured in full 3D.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (one of the most unwieldy titles seen in quite a few months) players must rise to the top of the ranks by gradually collecting and fighting over 200 monsters.

In this latest iteration, a number of new changes have been made to the game play. The random dungeons have been jettisoned, and instead the game is built upon predefined levels and a world full of quests to complete.

For those who are so inclined, you can also take your monster teams online and participate in the Wildcard World Cup, available via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Isn't this released already? Oh wait, that's only in the US? I have it on my R4, so...
