Nintendo Announce Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Has Sold Over 50,000 Units In The UK
Nintendo have announced that Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies has sold over 50,000 units in the UK since its launch, with some retailers selling out. Nintendo say one of the main selling points for the game is its story and that it's even keeping children involved in the game.
Press Release
LONDON, August 25, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Dragon Quest, the gaming sensation that became a phenomenon in Japan, has been the summer holidays hit for school children in the UK.
The Nintendo DS role playing game was launched at the start of the school holidays with a major fanfare at London's Westfield shopping centre featuringBritain's Got Talent winners Diversity.
Since then it has sold more than 50,000 copies with some retailers selling out.
Gaming experts are attributing the success of the game to its involving story.
Dragon Quest IX: 'Sentinels of the Starry Skies' allows players to put themselves in the role of the game's hero or heroine - a guardian angel fallen to Earth who must embark on an epic adventure in the mortal world, protecting mortals, battling foes and ultimately completing a Quest which will return them to the Kingdom of Angels.
James Honeywell from Nintendo UK said: "We've seen a lot of research which suggests keeping children entertained on long car journeys or on rainy days is a real challenge for parents. Dragon Quest IX is a real epic game that provides more than enough entertainment for the long summer holidays.
"And we're sure the game will be the talk of the playgrounds when the first wave of players return to school having mastered Dragon Quest IX," he said.
About the Dragon Quest phenomenon:
Queues a mile long formed for the launch of Dragon Quest IX in Tokyo with sales of 2.4 million in the first weekend - a world record launch in a single country.
Such is the impact of Dragon Quest in its native Japan, the latest launch was even held on a Saturday morning, when games previously always launched on a Wednesday, in order to stop mass truancy by children and adults missing work in the race to get their hands on this immersive role-playing game.
In one district of Tokyo the local authorities have roped off special zones for Dragon Quest players so they don't wander off the pavements or collide with other pedestrians while immersed in the handheld game on their Nintendo DS.
The nine games in the Dragon Quest series have sold a total of 53 million games in Japan alone, beaten only by gaming icons Mario and Pokemon for sales. And in Tokyo there is even a restaurant devoted to Dragon Quest where diners eat off screens showing the game. The first eight games were aimed almost exclusively at a domestic audience, but with Dragon Quest IX it has been aimed at a more global audience.

Press Release
London, UK. London-based development studio Mediatonic has announced that its critically-acclaimed PSP Minis debut, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess, has been launched on Xbox Live Indie Games. The Xbox 360 version features all the action of the PSP Minis cult hit and boasts a full HD-resolution visual overhaul.
In Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess, players take control of the massively awesome and super-sexy aristocratic demon known only as "The Duke" in an upwards-scrolling platformer, where chasing down giant fleeing monsters is the business at hand. By building combos to unleash increasingly magnificent finishing moves on the (most likely) guilty monsters, players can impress the Duke’s adoring fans and gun for higher and higher scores.
Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess features a full story mode, 6 unique stages, awesome animated cutscenes and an incredible soundtrack the Duke himself would approve of. With 24 levels of monster pounding justice, this is (probably) the best XNA game ever.
Originally released in April 2010, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess was a hit with reviewers across the media spectrum, picking up scores such as an 8.8 from IGN, an 8/10 from Eurogamer, Games TM and The Official PlayStation Magazine and a 4/5 from daily newspaper The Independent.
Mediatonic’s co-founder and creative director Paul Croft adds: “Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess was a huge hit for us, both with the media and as our debut on PSP Minis, so we’re proud to have launched its XNA version as our Xbox 360 debut.” He continues; “We’re hopeful Xbox 360 players will take the Duke’s plight to their hearts and will help him hammer those (probably) guilty monsters.”
Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Indie Games is available now, costing 240 MS Points.
