Square-Enix officially debuts the upcoming Dragon Quest game which will be titled as "Dragon Quest X Online: Rise of the Five Tribes" and will be for both the Wii and Wii U.
The game was revealed to be an MMO-style game similar in setup to the previous Monster Hunter Tri game for the Wii. Square-Enix revealed the Wii U version will have better graphics but both Wii and Wii U owners of the game can play in the same servers and won't be separated. The Wii version is rumored to come with a USB memory card for saving DLC and patches.
Due to the game being based on accounts, only 1 copy of the game is needed and accounts can be migrated from the Wii to Wii U version of the game.

The Wii U version of the game is set to have better graphics than the Wii game, but players purchasing the title for either platform will be able to share the same online world. Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata, speaking at Sqaure-Enix's event has also noted that since Wii U plays Wii games, it will be possible to continue playing the game if a player migrates from Wii to Wii U as the game arrives without needing two versions of the game. A beta version of the game will be available shortly.

The game can be played in offline but the company did not go into details if only parts of the game would be playable offline or if the game requires a constant internet connection even in offline/solo-mode.
The 3DS can be used as a controller and the game does take advantage of the StreetPass feature on the handheld.
No exact release date was confirmed but Square-Enix still has the Wii version for an early 2012 release date although the game is assumed to be a launch title for the Wii U when that console gets released.
The game will have a subscription fee to play similar to other MMOs on both the PC and consoles. As of now, the fee was revealed nor if it will be a monthly or yearly deal.
