The Game Release That Broke Japan

Okay, this video was supposed to come out as part of Dragon Quest December last month, but it turned out to be over 35 minutes long and took an extra couple of weeks...so I guess it is Dragon Quest Djanuary now. Last month we celebrated the 5th year of Dragon Quest December, so to add to the festivities I wanted to start doing it here on YouTube too! And what better way to kick things off than with my favourite piece of Dragon Quest trivia; why the series always releases new games on Saturdays. A nice simple story that just takes a couple of minutes...right?
