More Dragon Quest for DS News

DS News by Robert Purchese

1 August, 2007

Square Enix has confirmed that the DS will be treated to even more Dragon Quest, in the form of spruced-up versions of IV, V, and VI.

Dates and details aren't on offer, but we expect visually it will resemble the recent reworking of Final Fantasy III for DS.

Dragon Quest IV was first made famous on the NES in 1990, Dragon Quest V appeared originally on the SNES in 1992, and Dragon Quest VI on SNES in 1995. All dates are Japanese, and despite various remakes, each tale has yet to appear in Europe.

The DS will exclusively host the ninth instalment in the series when Dragon Quest IX: Defenders of the Sky launches sometime this year in Japan.

Two spin-off games have also graced Nintendo's handheld abroad: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.

"Square Enix has confirmed that the DS will be treated to even more Dragon Quest, in the form of spruced-up versions of IV, V, and VI."

That read to me as 4, 5 and 6? Unless EG amended the roman numerial error and thus Nova5lag now look a plonker!

Thanks evild_edd... Nova5lag is no plonker!

GamesConnoisseur... your brain put what you thought should be there... its a common thing. Like how optical illusions work fooling the brain.

Both are right really. The article has it correct, while the mainpage subtitle is flawed.

Nova5lag: My apologies as you are correct only with regards to the subtitles to the left of the main article. I did not bother to look there as was only reading the actual content.

We both are right so we should both be happy! But why waste our time talking about it when we should be delighted that Dragon Quest series coming to DS. All the power to DS.

I think it's great that they're bringing these to the DS. That said, I haven't gone past the five hour mark in DQ VIII, despite having had the game for over a year. I'm still waiting to get in the mood for random encounters.

Where the hell is Chrono Trigger? Even "merely" a VC release would do.
