Going back to DQ 8 I dont think it'll be released for the NGC becuase the ps3 , xb2 , and probably even the GC2(I hope they dont follow that nutty ten year plan) will be in the market , since it takes so long to develop. It would obviously make more sense to publish the game on the system with larger market share.
That said ,I would like it better if it were released for the GC.

Here's what IGN said about the magazine ad:

The magazine(V-Jump) states that, in addition to seeing more detailed coverage on its pages, the GameCube will also see something of "mega-ton level" (that means like a nuclear explosion, kids) happening at the end of the year. Above this little blurb is another, seemingly speculative pondering by V-Jump: "The start of a super-big project that will cause a worldwide boom for the GameCube?"

Kosh is right - I don't actually see anything there that suggests it would be DQ. On the other hand, DQ7 felt so much like an 8 bit Nintendo game it wasn't even funny. DQ on GC would just feel right.

Of course, not that it matters - it won't be out until 2009...
