Fuck this Dragonball-lookin' character crap. I want a Dragon Warrior knight busting out Erdrick's Sword.

Look at it this way, if it weren't for the interns, this wouldn't have even gotten posted. There's just way too much stuff that gets ignored by staff just because it's not relevant to their interests.

Nitpicking, but this is actually DQM: Joker 2.

This game was the Pokemon killer for me. After playing this game, there was no way in hell I could play a new Pokemon game.  

My main issue with the DQM series has always been its focus on grinding. These games only have a few hours worth of unique content while the remainder is just spent grinding up your monsters from scratch. This is especially true for DQMJ. DQM2 had a much larger focus on story and an actual world map with towns to visit. I don't know if DQMJ2 improves on DQMJ in any of the aspects I would like it to, but so far I've just stayed away from the game figuring it was gonna be too similar to DQMJ.
 
DQM1 and 2 were great games, but I'll take Pokemon over DQMJ any day of the week.

I've been playing the Japanese version of this for a little while now. It's a really great game, but I am a huge Dragon Quest fan so I may be biased.

Yay Dragon Quest music! Bleh Dragon Quest art style! I can never love the character art. Everyone looks so damn smug. :P Those slime crustaceans are something else, I didn't realize they'd started inserting slimes into other objects.

So is this like DragonQuest and Pokemon combined? Looks awesome for a DS game.

Wait... didn't think game come out already? Or is this a sequel, and the link under the video just leads to the wrong page? Either way, looks pretty good. I remember enjoying these games way back when they were "...Warrior Monster" instead of "Quest"

this probably one of few pokemon knock offs that is good imo. i think its because the uniqueness of the monsters, they are not pokemon knock offs. just an opinion.

This is one of the biggest games at E3 for me. Anything Dragon Quest related is always the most important thing!

Dragon Warrior Monster, fuck yeah. (Sorry, it will always be Warrior to me when it comes to monster titles, I call the normal ones Quest, but I can't change for Monsters)

I'm really excited about this game.  it's too bad it isn't the professional version, but I love me some DQM. this might be my favourite announcement at a really disappointing e3.

This is the original version of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2.
 
There's a Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional with over 100 new monsters among other features that came out a few months ago. They should have localized that one instead.

Never thought this would happen, since this game came out along while back in Japan. Glad it finally did happen though. 
 
And to be clear, this is DQM:J2, which unlike the 1st one wasn't released outside of Japan.

Dude yes! I love the Monsters spin off; best thing to come from the whole reaction to the Pokemon craze.

@Robo_Gorilla: Yeah, they misspelled synthesize wrong.
