A portion of a C3 interview with Taichi Inuzuka, Producer for Dragon Quest Wars...

C3: How well has the game done in Japan so far? Has it done well enough to justify making a Dragon Quest Wars 2?

Inuzuka-san: We've received many positive comments from players who are enjoying the in-depth strategy, mixed with simple gameplay. Regarding a sequel and additional content in the future, we would definitely consider it if we receive much demand from users!

C3: If this new Dragon Quest series is successful enough, will you consider making a full DS or Wii retail version?

Inuzuka-san: As I roughly answered in the previous question, regarding any potential sequel (s) or additional content, we are certainly considering it, but it all comes down to whether or not we receive sufficient demand from users.
