The latest game in the Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory, is due to be released on the Wii soon, and a number of observers have been commenting on the rather salacious direction the title seems to be taking…
The Monster Battle Road series is probably none to familiar to non-Japanese gamers (or adults) – the games form a sprawling franchise based on trading cards usable in arcade machines, with the console versions maintaining compatibility with the arcade versions by way of special card readers.
A flashy preview of the game proper:
The game itself is set for release on the 15th of July – pre-orders are available now. So far none of the games have been released outside Japan, or look likely to.
Dragon Quest character designer is the same one of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dr. Slump, Blue Dragon adn Chrono Trigger. One of the most famous mangaka's in history, Akira Toriyama!!!!!!!!!
Heh... apparently he'd send the design teams erotic sketches and doodles on the side for fun, and once in a while they'd like what they saw and make it a character design. No lie - no source either though. :p
Cero-A NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Really Japan devs need to not hold back anymore. Games like this and Bayonetta should of had detailed boobs, vagina, and buttholes dang it. I swera to god I'd make a game on the PS3 sexy as hell it I could.
I'm all for fanservice in games. Well, nothing so over the top it prevents it from being an actual game *coughDoAVolleyballcough*, but it's nice to have something fun to look at. That said, Toriyama to me seems overrated. I know you could probably say this about 90% of anime and manga art, but his characters all look the same, and the style hasn't transferred well into the modern aesthetic.
Artefact, always wanted to ask you: are you some kind of lingvist by trade? Your constant use of rare synonyms makes me look up the vocabulary more than once.
If to you they are merely "rare synonyms" then it is no wonder your vocabulary is so impoverished. Each word conveys a specific meaning with its own nuance.
They had me at Deborah's panties.
they had me at panties.
They had me at Bulma/Lunch dopplegangers
He had me at hello.
It's nice to see that they're still making games for the SNES.
Oh wait, it's for the god damn Wii, hah...
Fucking lazy shit..
Some characters remind me of Dragonball
And the saiyan mode...and how blonde hair guys are stronger than black hair...

-_- duh. akira has been doin art for that series for years. however i dont remember his art ever being sooo...revealing.
Read the first volumes of Dragonball, Bulma is naked on several occasion and Dragonball came out in 84'.
He's done it since the beginning; he's responsible for the iconic Slime design.
And haven't you read Lady Red?

O RLY?
SAME ARTIST!!!
New quest: conquer all the girls body, every corner..
Game looks ok, the moe factor seems outdated...
Loved the cleavage on the last top-right picture.
*drool*
Too bad the females are dwarn in Toriyama-style.
I agree that's a pity, although it isn't quite as bad as Dragonball.
Dam, when i saw all those previous heroes, i was really, reaaaaaaaaaaaaally expecting to see Dai or Avan in there.
Best Dragon Quest Warriors EVER!!!!!!
Hyunckel RAEP them both in term of looks and GARness however LOLOLOLOL
I'm not surprised, kids LOVE ero and tits.
Its on the Wii to bad...
akira toriyama character designs in ero poses just doesn't do it for me.
indeed, Toriyama-based hentai are mostly meh.
Eh, it's still CERO A, so... those saucy screenshots seem to be the most risque.
Cero-A NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Really Japan devs need to not hold back anymore. Games like this and Bayonetta should of had detailed boobs, vagina, and buttholes dang it. I swera to god I'd make a game on the PS3 sexy as hell it I could.
Cero-A makes me sad bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Aren't all video games following this direction?
Countless others here in the west already tried this idea of scannable cards + gameplay, but they failed badly as far as I remember.
Hopefully I'll have the chance to play this in a few years when an emulator is released. Like when I'm 30. :/
Dolphin emulator works with wii games... Some at least.
New Dragon Quest? OK =D
Not really ero in my eyes.
As a gamer it looks very modest to me. Most of them have some kind of ample coverage.
Considering that Toriyama designs don't exactly lend themselves well to ero, the outcome of this is surprisingly pleasing.

DQ Mara is so much sexier than SMT Mara.
not very interesting
No complaints here.
The game looks boring, I didn't really liked DBZ Budokai, and that boring style seems to be at work here too.
Yum yum~
Although I was expecting a little more when it said "Ero Quest" instead of just panties and cleavage...
Yeah okay...
Looks kinda fun...
lol, that's ero? just for nintendo
You know, the concept behind the game looks to be an epic win... if only it would take off outside Japan for once.
And should I be proud I can rattle off the names of almost all the characters they showed, or ashamed...?
I felt proud, although I get Maya and Meena (apologies for English names) confused so I can't remember which is which in the top set of pics >.<
And I never knew Hero from 1 was blond O_O
game is for the Wii , its a console popular among kids and old women . game is predestined for fail
Salacious... geez

Translation: I'm a huge pretentious douche that is hurt that you realize I can use a thesaurus.
None of this is that bad. Why make a big fuss about it?
bullshit japanese game.
