DS News! Dragon Quest IX is Official, Phantom Hourglass Delayed

Kotaku is reporting that Dragon Quest IX, the latest installment in one of the most popular RPG franchises of all time (though only in Japan for some reason), has been announced as a Nintendo DS title, and no words have been said about its here-to-for presumed releases on the PS3 or 360.
Whether this announcement merely foreshadows another crappy handheld port corresponding to a major cross-console release, or if developer Square-Enix is actually trying to create a unique game for Japan's booming DS-ownership, time will tell. One thing is clear, with this and the delayed (again) release of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, 2007's fourth quarter is looking awfully promising for those few of us over here in the States with enough foresight (ahem) to have purchased a DS.
