New Game for Nintendo DS Systems Lets Players Collect, Connect and Customize Hundreds of Monsters from the DRAGON QUEST Universe.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Now there’s a powerful new way to interact with the wild variety of monsters from the fan-favorite DRAGON QUEST® video game series. Launching today for the Nintendo DSâ„¢ family of hand-held systems, Dragon Quest Monsters: Jokerâ„¢ 2 unleashes an epic adventure in which players can recruit, train and battle with imaginative monsters of all shapes and sizes.

With the built-in wireless features of Nintendo DS systems, it’s also simple and fun for users to connect with each other – locally and around the world – to share game data and engage in memorable monster battles together.
In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, players take on the role of a Monster Scout who has crash-landed on a mysterious island.

“Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 is an extraordinary way for new and experienced fans to immerse themselves in the DRAGON QUEST universe and its colorful cast of monsters,†said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Players will have fun experimenting with different monster combos and unleashing them on their friends.â€
Using a local wireless connection, as many as eight players can battle their monster teams against one another. Players with broadband Internet access can also use the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service to battle other Monster Scouts or take part in a weekly Wi-Fi World Tournament that connects players from all over the globe.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 also supports a number of Tag Mode options that can be used to exchange game data with others. By connecting via Tag Mode to other Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 game owners, players can battle each other and scout their respective monsters.
