The highly-anticipated ninth instalment in Square Enix’s much-loved Dragon Quest series is set to make its European debut next month, and to build on that anticipation Nintendo has today revealed a brand new English-language teaser trailer for the game. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies has already become a phenomenon with players of all ages and backgrounds in Japan, with in excess of four million units sold.
Dragon Quest IX was a quality JRPG, but it is only available on the DS, when every other game in the series has been ported to other platforms.
I'd love to play this. Couple things keep that from happening. I don't like portable gaming. I don't think my hands are huge but I bought a 3ds for braverly default and my fingers would cramp up after 20 30 minutes. Kinda killed it for me.
I hope they do port it but port it to everything. Not just the switch or whatever. I'm still salty about dragon quest treasure hunters being switch only. I really wanted that. I loved dq11. I know it's a different type of game but I like those types to
its the same with dragon quest 8 on the 3ds
i wanted the remaster for consoles too.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The little handheld that could was a dream for role-playing game fans, with both major blockbusters and cult-classics making the DS a handheld you always wanted to have in your backpack. "
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
Can't wait for this! I don't care wht anyone says, DQ9 will be awesome.
looks good!
