Some new Dragon Quest IV: Chapters Of The Chosen gameplay has surfaced, showing Ragnar, a main character in the game, fighting off some dreaded flying rats and ugly lookin' worms in a dark cave.
Just released, the game is an RPG, remade again (originally for PlayStation, in Japan only), this time for the DS. Throughout the re-makes, Square Enix has always been the publisher, but there has always been a different developer. ArtePiazza took a crack at it this time.
Video game publisher and developer Square Enix released a press release today announcing that the Nintendo DS remake of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen has been shipped to retailers in North America today, and will be available this week.

Dragonquest, a popular gaming series of console based RPG fun! It's first game release dates right back to 1990 on the famicom!
Each chapter of the game gives you a little extra of the plot. It introduces new characters, develops character history and makes for a very fun game!
The overall plot is rather large, made up by several chapters that you play through as the protagonist Solo/Sofia (Being Male/Female as you have respectively chosen) trying to keep the peace.
It has all those...

If you go to the About section of the website, SE has told us that the game will be hitting North American shelves on September 16, 2008.
IGN got ahold of some new screens and info about yet another Dragon Quest title. This one will be out July 17 in Japan, so we can probably expect this one (hopefully) in time for the holiday season.
And in case you're confused, the DQ IV remake (also for DS) was released in Japan in November. Gamers here are still awaiting news on a local release, which should be soon. Dragon Quest IX is a brand new title for the DS which developer Level-5 has said it "hopes to finish work on the game some...
After feeling the fierce drop of the post-holiday shopping season, the Japanese market had some life instilled in it due to a new release reaching up to #2 on the charts. Overall, however, it's just mediocre/standard non-holiday numbers that will dominate the next couple weeks until Super Smash Bros. Brawl hits.
Japan's top-seller once again is our favorite non-game, Wii Fit, selling 92k copies. Coming in second is the aforementioned new release, the NDS version of Mario and Sonic at the...
So, it's the week after the holiday season. You know what that means? Sales completely drop all around. Nothing really survived the post-holiday massacre other than this week's top selling game, by a clear long shot.
This week's top-selling game is Wii Fit, selling 90k copies. The #2 this week is every child's favorite game, Mario Party DS, selling 43k copies. Rounding out the top five are Wii Sports (WII - 33k), Final Fantasy IV (NDS - 32k), and Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (PSP - 26k...
Quickly after updating with the previous week's pre-New Year's sales, Media Create has updated their weekly rankings to reflect the sales for the week of one the biggest holiday shopping weeks in Japan, New Year's. Nintendo regains control of the top ten after Sony's penetration the previous week, and games on Nintendo consoles make for 41 out of the 50 games in the Top 50.
The top seller for this New Year's week is the child-favorite Mario Party DS, selling 196k copies. Next up is the n...
After a week's hiatus, we finally get Media Create's software rankings, along with hardware and software numbers for the week preceding New Year's Day. Contrary to the preceding week's Nintendo domination, games from a system not owned by Nintendo broke into the top ten. Hardware wise, it's still the same old, with the DS, PSP and Wii selling in the six figure range, while the PS3 ranges around 55k.
This week's top seller is the new Super Robot Taisen game, Super Robot Taisen OG Gaiden, ...
Honestly, there's no other way to put it. This tracking week is still well into the holiday season in Japan, and if it were somehow possible, DS Lite and Wii numbers increased. 41 out of the Top 50 are on a Nintendo system, with no 360 showing, and Sony representing the other nine. The PSP continues the have same problem that it had last week. But still, the Nintendo numbers, frankly, are completely and utterly absurd.
At the top of the rankings is our newest DS million-seller, Mario P...
It's another zany sales week in Japan, with DS and Wii sales shooting through the roof in a Nintendo-dominated top ten, and some weird and disheartening PSP sales.
There was a flip-flop at the top of the rankings, as this week's top seller was last week's #2, Mario Party DS, selling 180k units. The #2 seller is last week's #1, Wii Fit, with 124k units sold. Rounding out the top five is the only non-DS/Wii game in the top ten, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3 - 116k - BD Version), Professor L...
Welcome to this week's Media Create numbers, where we see the holiday fervor in full swing with increased numbers across the board (with exception). The combined strength of new releases and continued strong sales of recently released games both contribute to the numbers this week.
The top software seller this week is our favorite Wii non-game, Wii Fit, pushing very nearly 150k units. Following it in the #2 position is Mario Party DS, selling 107k units. Rounding out the top five are Ta...
This week has six new games reach the top 10, with four of them in the top five. Wii sales have also increased this week, even to the point of outselling the PSP.
The top seller this week is Professor Layton and Pandora's Box for the DS, selling almost 300k units (294k). Next is the latest and most interesting Nintendo casual game for the Wii, Wii Fit, sellilng 261k units. Rounding out the top five are SD Gundam G Generation Spirits (PS2 - 252k), last week's #1, Dragon Quest IV (NDS - 1...
Well, this is a pretty interesting week, as we head into the home stretch of 2007 in Japan. Nine of this week's top ten are new releases, and the two main home console streams are neck-to-neck once again.
The top seller this week is the DS remake of Dragon Quest IV, selling a few short of 600k units. Next is the PS2 version of World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008, selling 294k units. Rounding out the top five are the PS3 version of World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 (PS3 - 141k), last week's ...
