Those DS Dragon Quest remakes are about as surefire a Japanese number one as it's possible to get. Even more of a certainty than a new pokemon or final fantasy.

GOOD Tempest remake using this controller plzkthx.

For the love of all that is holy, don't let the people who did Atari Classics do it.

Or even better... Jeff, how about a DS port of Space Giraffe?

There's been some reports of a freeze-up in the JP version of the game:

Hope it's nothing too serious and gets fixed anyways! Nice to see that it's SD card compatible!

Never mind crashing Wiis, that YouTube clip just killed my Mac!

Good to hear you can do SD music, tho...that God-awful Clannadesque stuff that's in all the demos would do my head in quite quickly...
