yeah it does! Smilie i saw those videos and the game looks preety fun to play!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

From what I saw of a gameplay video from TGS or something, you walk backwards and forwards on rails, in first person, and cut up monsters with horribly delayed Wiimote gestures.

The graphics aren't ugly, but there's next to nothing going on and very little detail.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Oh no. Not on rails. Killer 7 is great for it. Panzer Dragoon is great for it. But DQ? They'd better not mess it up.

So, to give a little analogy, DQ Swords is like the classic children's TV show Knightmare, but without the horned visor.

Admittedly, it's not your typical RPG, but it could be good. Love the look though.
