RUMOR - Dragon Quest IX coming to Wii as well?

This is another one of those wacky rumors from EGM’s Quartermann. I don’t want to confuse any of these details, so I am posting the rumor as it was written.

While Dragon Quest IX being announced for the DS rather than a home console was a big enough surprise in the first place, fans of the long-running series were even more shocked to discover that this latest entry will sport faster-paced gameplay and a surprising MMO-lite option to play with up to four friends. Assuming this multiplayer mode works similarly to the DS-and-Wii-linking Echoes of Time, it makes sense that Square would bring DQIX to the console as well. The only question that remains is whether or not the Wii port will receive a graphical upgrade — the Wii and DS versions of the new Crystal Chronicles are going to be identical, after all. Hopefully Square will confirm this news soon and give us more details.

If this does happen, this could be another major blow to Microsoft and Sony. Getting Dragon Quest IX on both Wii and DS would be absolutely huge. Is there anything bigger in Japan than Dragon Quest?!
