If a remake of a sixteen-year-old Dragon Quest SNES game can hit seven figures inside its opening fortnight, then perhaps Dragon Quest IX really can reach Yoichi Wada's lofty expectations ... and then some.

I hear tell Dragon Quest IX is going to be a 2 cart game.
I hope that's true.

its about time, seems like no company has enough courage to try the 2 gig cards, expect mistwalker with ASH. I'm still crossing my fingers for the NA release of ASH, although it's less likely as more time passes....

No, I mean 2 carts. Two seperate carts. The theory is Dragon Quest IX will be ridiculously long and epic.

AJ: How would that even work? With the save data, and everything?
Plus, it would almost certainly be cheaper to produce one, double-capacity card than two separate cards (and accompanying special packaging, etc.).

Honestly, I have no idea. I've just heard that DQIX was going to be a dual cart.
My theory, though, is that the game would transfer your save data to the DS's internal memory when you beat cart 1, then put it on to cart 2 immediately. That wouldn't be so hard. I mean, if you can download data to the DS from your friend's cart to play a two-player game, why not?
How much memory do the carts have, though? Do the carts work like flash cards? Because I have seen 16 gig flash cards, and it can't be unreasonable to presume that a DS cart could, in theory, have quite a bit of memory available.

That rumour was started ages ago with a photoshopped image. There is no point in two cart games on the DS, the cart capacity can be increased for cheaper.
