To be fair, his is actually the 2nd Dragon Quest Slime game and not the third. There was only 1 GBA one. On the other hand, there were several Dragon Quest Monsters games on the Gameboy Color. (Yes, this definitely predates the Square-Enix merger)

If it makes anyone feel any better... Most Japanese gamers won't be getting this game either. 500 Club Nintendo points is quite a lot. DS games get you about 20 points, and a DS system gets you about 50. :(
