As Monster Scouts, players can recruit wild monsters to build a team and
battle against other players in this turn-based role-playing game. Each
year, monster scouts from around the world gather to compete for the
title of world’s greatest scout. Players crash-land on a mysterious
island after their airship is struck by lightning. They must rescue
their missing passengers and crew members by fighting various enemies
using their own monster parties. The only way off the island is to solve
its many mysteries.

Become the world’s greatest Monster Scout in Dragon Quest
Monsters: Joker™ 2, a spinoff of the fan-favorite DRAGON
QUEST core series. Players scout and collect monsters in order to
build a team to battle enemies.

When a player’s party encounters other monsters in a battle, they can
try to recruit those monsters with their scouting skills. A meter on
the top screen indicates the chance that players can scout a monster.
The higher the number, the higher the chance the monster will join a
player’s party.

More than 300 different monsters are available to scout and
synthesize. By synthesizing two different monsters, players can create
new, more powerful monsters. These monsters can be customized using
more than 240 skill trees. Some monsters return from previous DRAGON
QUEST games, while others are new.

In battles, monsters level up to learn new skills and become more
powerful.

Players can battle their monster teams against one another using a
local wireless connection. Or, using a broadband Internet connection,
they can connect to Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection to battle against other
players.

•The Wi-Fi World Tournament lets players battle against other monster
teams around the world.

The game supports a variety of Tag Mode options that let players
connect and share data with others:

– Players who connect via Tag Mode with owners of DRAGON QUEST VI®:
Realms of Revelation™ or DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the
Starry Skies™ can scout monsters from those games.

– Players who connect via Tag Mode with other Dragon Quest Monsters:
Joker 2 players can battle against them and have a chance to scout their
monsters without affecting their games.

As of May 20, 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo
DSi and Wii systems has been retired. Online features of this game are
no longer available after this date but this game still provides an
entertaining experience in offline mode.
