Lucky Japanese people
During last night’s live stream of everythingDragon Quest, we got some good snippets of info on the series.Dragon Quest XI, released just over a week ago, has already hit 3 million copies sold across the PS4 and 3DS.Dragon Quest Builders 2is in development for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, proving that not all Japanese developers are taking a wait-and-see approach with the system. Plus, it was revealed the first three games in the series will be getting a re-release this month.
Dragon Quest,Dragon Quest II, andDragon Quest IIIwill hit the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS starting August 10. With these games, every entry in the core franchise will be playable on the 3DS.
Some of you might be wondering why I bother reporting on this at all seeing as these games are likely not coming to the west. Well, I report on them because I want them to come to our shores. As aDQfan, it pains me to know I’ve missed on games likeRocket Slime 3DS, all of the 3DSDragon Quest Monstersgames,Dragon Quest Xand, saddest of all,Theatrhythm Dragon Quest.
I mean, there is really no reason why the west shouldn’t see these games. All three saw release over here back on the NES when the games were calledDragon Warriorand they all saw remakes on the GameBoy Color. What I’m trying to say is Square Enix should really reward the WesternDragon Questfans, however few of us there are, by allowing us to give them money for things they make.
