Yesterday's report that Square Enix is considering a version of Dragon Quest X for Wii U has been clarified by the site that first brought us CEO Yoichi Wada's comments, made to a group of investors. Apparently the company is working with the Wii U tech, but that's a completely separate endeavor from Dragon Quest X for now.
So, while it's possible that you may still see Dragon Quest X on Wii U, Square isn't saying one way or the other. Frankly, we'd be happier to see something made from the ground up for the unique console.
And are we angry that we were lead astray? No, friends, we're not. Sometimes, things just get lost in translation. In fact, that's the subject of our favorite Bill Murray movie, which is Garfield.

I sure as hell wouldn't complain about a Dragon's Quest that was day-one for the console.
I mean I doubt I'd buy it day one, but y'know... theoretically I could

Gamer - "OOEEMMGEEE FFVIIHDREMIX CONNFIIRMEDEDED"

They're probably porting the Crystal Tools engine to Wii-U, since the engine is already multi-platform.
Though Crystal Tools is already capable of outputting Wii and PC code, and we haven't seen any Wii games for it yet, nor PC games other than FF14.
