* The platforms are Wii and Wii U with an optional linked in Street Pass game on the 3DS; I would guess it will be similar to Dragon Quest 9's Street Pass trade features.
* The user can begin their game on the Wii, and continue on using the Wii U version. The Wii U version is described as a "powered up" and with "enhanced graphics".
* Based on what has been shown, it looks like a bigger and more detailed game in the vein of Dragon Quest 8 or 9.
* The entire game can be played single player with other created characters, or through co-operative multiplayer via online connectivity; assembled at the pub. In my experience with Dragon Quest 9, which used local multiplayer, this worked extremely well.
* Real World seasons and holidays factor into the setting and events in the game; this happened to a limited extent in Dragon Quest 9.
* Graphically, the Wii version uses a cell shaded style similar to Dragon Quest 8. The Wii U version will have HD graphics used, and I would hazard a guess that they'll also be cell shaded.
* The game will feature the largest story of any Dragon Quest game to date, which takes place in a world of 5 Continents. There are also going to be 5 tribes; I am assuming each has their own continent as a home.
* The player can customize their own house inside and out, as well as their own character.
* There are crafting systems, as well as a trading system, players can gain "fame" by expanding their industry to other players. There is also a sewing system to create different clothes. Also crafting can be used to create unique variants of different equipment and items. This looks to be more advanced than the DQ8 and 9 crafting systems.
* Wii version will require a USB drive for expanded saving space on the Wii console.
* Encounter system looks like DQ 9 - no random battles.
* Additional questing material unlocks over time; I assume in some similar way to Dragon Quest 9 (this material kept me playing FAR longer than any other RPG I have ever played).
