Japanese Dragon Quest 9 Release Pushed Back To July

 
Hope you importers weren't getting your hopes up for finally playing Dragon Quest 9 in March. Because it looks like Square Enix is taking the time to add just a bit more polish. The news comes from Siliconera , who in turn got the new date from a Square Enix press release. It seems that the testing process turned up a number of new bugs, and now release has to be pushed back to account for them. No hurry, Square Enix. You know its going to sell a zillion copies in Japan anyway. Just don't let this affect the English release, okay? (link)
