At long last, Square Enix has brought its highly anticipated title Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride to North America. As you should know by now, this is an exclusive title for the Nintendo DS only, and will be the second part in the Zenithia Trilogy. Square Enix is proud of this effort, as it is an adventure that was specially crafted for heroes across the globe by series creator Yuji Horii, manga artist Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. The entire journey will span three generations – hopefully it won’t take a similar amount of time to complete.

What begins as an innocent childhood voyage of a boy alongside his father’s journey soon develops into an adventure of a brave young man traveling the world as he faces life-altering decisions. Step into the shoes of a hero in the making to fulfill your destiny, befriending a crew of quirky monsters along the way. Try your hand at the game that introduced the monster recruitment system to the series and presented players with an ultimate choice that changes the course of the game. Now available exclusively for Nintendo DS, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is ready to entertain players with its endearing, classic-RPG charm.

Features of this game include :-

• Indulge in the colorful DRAGON QUEST world created by Yuji Horii, combined with the charming characters and monsters designed by Akira Toriyama and memorable soundtrack from famed composer Koichi Sugiyama to create an unforgettable gaming experience
• Journey through a beautifully rendered 3D world, with dynamic dual-screen presentation and newly animated monsters
• Recruit a unique cast of DRAGON QUEST monsters and create an indestructible party of your own
• Brace yourself for some life-altering decision making – a key decision will affect the outcome of the game, and change the course of the hero’s life forever
• Take a breather from the main quest with addicting mini-games like Bruise the Ooze, T ‘n’ T, the Slurpodrome and the tombola
• Collect and customize knick-knacks from around the DRAGON QUEST world to create a personalized Knick-knackatory
• With the wireless capabilities of Nintendo DS, players can now exchange their creations with friends for a one-of-a-kind collection of rare items!
• Feast your ears on the opening theme performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and a brand-new score by series composer Koichi Sugiyama

It will be a premium game for the DS, as with other Square Enix titles for this platform that retails for $39.99 but we’re sure every penny you fork out is worth it.
