From Final Fantasy XIII Elixirs to Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory Syrupy Slime drinks, Square Enix and Suntory have Japan sugared -- with a side of hydration. The Syrupy Slime beverages go on sale in Japan on July 13 for about $3.25 and come in Hoimi Cider (blue) and Mera Tropical (orange) "flavors." As Siliconera notes, the item names are based on Dragon Quest spells for heal and frizz, respectively.

The Slime drinks also contain codes for in-game avatar items, accessible using the Dragon Quest "Color Code Scanner" on the DSi. If it seems unlikely you'll ever have the chance to imbibe a slime, drown your sorrows by watching the slapstick Japanese commercial for the beverages on the Suntory site (press the blue button).

If only you'd not shunned Dragon Quest, America!

Let us lay it out for you: in 2008, Square Enix released Dragon Quest Swords for Wii, a game based entirely around using the Wii Remote to simulate a sword. It used the normal Wii Remote/Nunchuk setup. Now, Square Enix is preparing a Wii port of Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory, an arcade game based on collectible cards. For that, peripheral company Hori is producing a controller shaped like a sword.

The optional controller, first shown off on VJump magazine's staff blog, features an exact replica of the arcade machine's layout, including two giant buttons and a replica sword hilt, which players push down to activate special attacks. The controller will retail for ¥12,800 ($137) and will be out in Japan this summer. Keep an eye on your favorite import retailer if you've been waiting for a controller with part of a sword sticking out of it.

The Wii's next DQ game isn't DQX. Get your first look at the arcade port.

Been hankering for more Dragon Quest since the release of The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors? Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest Victory for Wii in Japan, an adaptation of the Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road arcade game. The Wii version is set to launch this summer and features card-based battles for up to four players via local split-screen and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game will also include a "Tournament" mode, in which players face off against a succession of NPCs in a virtual town, collecting cards.

Perhaps the coolest feature of all is connectivity between the arcade and Wii games, using a DSi. Players will be able to download a special DSiWare app that will scan in the arcade version's cards, allowing transport over to the Wii game. The price of the DSiWare app is currently unknown.
