Online with customization features like IX... NICE!
I get to play dress up again! Yay! Battles look a lot like IX too!
Weapon Forging and Armor Creation too! Nice!!
Edit: Uh-oh... Interior Design... Interest suddenly dropping...
Wait! They keep saying Wii and Wii U...
What do they mean?!
Now they are talking about the 3DS too...?! Oh... Why did I stop studying Japanese?!
HOLY CRAP! Iwata on the scene!
Cross platform between Wii and Wii U... Sharing the same world, but Wii U version is graphically enhanced!
Crazy.... Unsure yet. Looked rough. Need to see more and know if it's got offline mode...
Also, guess it's not getting released any time soon, and we may only get Wii U version...

while the pessimist fears this is true.

Okay, so I'm writing a rushed and terrible summary for a website here, tell me if I missed anything:
Appears to be online only.
Will be on Wii and Wii U with the Wii U version having updated graphics.
Customisation features similar to IX.
There will be weapon forging, armour creation and...interior design!
Did I miss anything? Will give you all credit naturally and pimp out thevgpress in one fell swoop!
Oh, and I take it most of this is new info?
Ah, videogame journalism!
That's it... + AI party members possible, which may indicate you can play offline too (I've never seen an MMO that makes the actual multiplayer part optional allowing you to play solo + AI). Yes, first reveal.

Don't forget to mention Xenoblade somehow Foolz and also mention it if they do not buy it they will burn in hell. Just check de link I posted above Duckroll at gaf has made a summary.
Also, apparently the Wii SKU is listed to either come with or support some USB device... People are assuming some sort of memory stick to install the game on in order to be able to have updates/expansions like any good MMORPG rather than restrict it to small things like say, Monster Hunter event quests and such. Either way it's weird since it's the only Wii game that would require this so a decent size SDHC card would be more than fine... But maybe they can get USB sticks super cheap and hopefully barely affect the price of the game, who knows.

Alright thanks a lot guys! I mentioned the USB thingy, will edit in the speculation in fact! Here it is.
Linked for Iga as the reference was made!
The new Thundercats is on this coming saturday.
Kinda excited
My nephew is the same age. LOL how can you get a kid that young to play games? My nephew only knows about 10 words and mispronounces them.
I can't view that video.
I saw the DQ10 info this morning and it's not turning me on. I think I prefer the look of the Last Story and Xenoblade. Need to see a higher quality video of this new game. I'm not that interested in online focused games - I don't want it to end up like playing PS0 solo like I did with the dreamcast. The only DQ10 pic I saw looked rough. Good news about the Wii U version.
