Speaking at a fancy launch event for the
European PS2 debut of Dragon Quest VIII: Curse of the Enormous Subtitle, the project lead, series producer and
generally creepy looking guy Yuji Horii talked about everyone's favorite wand-waving wonder and the implications it
might have for the gamer. He expressed excitement at the Revolution's interface, noting that the feedback one gains
from playing with it would be very rewarding to players. "You do something, and it reacts to you. It's human nature that to have some feedback from your actions is rewarding."
While it's important to point out that just about every game on every console provides feedback to your actions, the point Mr. Horii is no doubt trying to make is that your motions with the Revolution controller will directly correspond to the on-screen motions of your character. Dance Dance Revolution is one game that does exactly that, no doubt the reason for my chronic addiction to it.
So, does this mean we can expect a Dragon Quest game for the Revolution? According to the Eurogamer article, that's "TBD" (to be determined). Well, at least that's better than a "no", right?
