Nintendo Direct Offers New Dragon Quest X Details

Dragon Quest X, the upcoming MMO-styled sequel to the long-running Square Enix RPG series, had a few new pieces of information announced during this evening's Nintendo Direct video presentation.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that though the game will normally require players to pay for play time, the first 20 hours will be free for all new buyers of the game. There will also be free "Kids Time" play periods, two hours per day, in the afternoons in Japan. Mr. Iwata then announced there will be another event in the near future dedicated entirely to Dragon Quest X details, and promised a new 11-minute long trailer will air after the conclusion of the Nintendo Direct video tonight.

Dragon Quest X launches this August in Japan for Wii, and a Wii U version is also in development. We've yet to learn any details about American plans for the game, but perhaps NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime will address that in the North American video presentation scheduled to air in less than an hour.
