300,000 DragonQuest Swords

I've never seen anything as poor quality as this DragonQuest sword game. The rabid Japanese DragonQuest fans have already pre-ordered 300,000 units of the thing!

It's a game machine in itself and runs a very simplified bad quality version of DragonQuest on your TV for you. The sword is the sole input device as far as I can tell and you can slash from right to left to kill the enemies, erm, and you can slash from left to right to kill the enemies, and then the story proceeds ala DragonQuest. I presume you can slash from top to bottom too if you so desire.

It's a poor man's Eye Toy but goddamm it's a hot seller and it's not even out yet!
