Nintendo has shared a new trailer for the anticipated upcoming 3DS exclusive JRPG Dragon Quest VIII.

The trailer is dubbed "Action, Adventure, and Intrigue" and runs for only half a minute. Quite a bit is jammed into that 30 seconds though, including a peek at the game's cast, a bit of combat and an exciting showdown with the main villain. Nintendo hypes the game as a "critically acclaimed adventure".

Dragon Quest VIII launches on January 20th.
