Review: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3DS) - Nintendo Life

Nintendo Life: "In addition to a steady stream of top-quality games, the 3DS' RPG library is filled with the sort of lifetime achievements most consoles can only dream of: a hat trick of Monster Hunters, two to four Fire Emblems (depending on your perspective), scores of Shin Megami Tensei titles, and enough Etrian Odysseys to field a curling team. Now add to this list the fact that North American and European gamers have had the good fortune to experience not one but two mainline Dragon Quest games in the space of six months, with Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King following hot on the heels of last year's phenomenal Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. Like its predecessor, this is an absolute classic that's been lovingly reimagined for the 3DS, and is an unmissable treat for RPG fans."

Link between worlds is a steal at that price. Would have grabbed DQ as well, but just grabbed at locally for dirt cheap, luckily.

I wish LBW would port to Switch

5 RPGs that need to be Remade That Don

Paul writes: "As much fun as it would be to play A Link To The Past, there is no way that Nintendo would allow that to be remade for Microsoft’s black box, so even though it had a massive effect on me as a younger man, it won't appear in this list. But other than that, here, in no particular order, are the five RPGs that I'd like to see remade that don't include the words "Final" or "Fantasy"."

When I read the headlink I was sure about Chrono Trigger....what a game?? Secret of Mana was epic too!! The rest I have not played yet.

ecchiless2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

games i would love a remake and sequel , vagrant story, crono cross, xenogears(fuck xenosaga and xenoblade), legend of dragoon, parasite eve.

edit: and persona 2, eternal and sin, i need that remake so bad

notachance2208d ago

ooo yeah xenogears, back when xeno has dark and serious story and none of that weaboo underage big breasted characters

indysurfn2208d ago

legend of dragoon, parasite eve I liked the first two xenosagas a lot ESPECIALLY the music by Yuki Kajiura!
Thats my girl (DREAMING OF COURSE).

Anyway as far as overall games, legend of dragoon, parasite eve, and skys of Arcadia for the win!

Retroman2207d ago (Edited 2207d ago )

Go to Releases.com.
Legend of dragoon is a up coming PS4 title.
I kid you not.
I was hoping to find New ratchet and clank title and
Stubble on Dragoon title.

SilverDemon2208d ago

Secret of Mana already got a remake

I heard it wasn't so good

SegaGamer2208d ago

Dragon Quest VIII does not need to be remade. If anything, I would take a HD remaster of the game, but it doesn't need a remake.

deathtok2208d ago

Exactly. Up-res the PS2 version and include quality of life improvements from the 3DS.

meep3162207d ago (Edited 2207d ago )

not up-res, change render resolution and its done. Its a simple config change that can be done easily with an emulator. Heres how it looks at 1080p https://www.youtube.com/wat...

indysurfn2208d ago

LOL yes I would agree. Especially if it is ffVII type of remake.

meep3162207d ago (Edited 2207d ago )

Only if they dont insult my intelligence by calling it a "remaster". this is how it looks with render resoltuion changed to 1080p, this is just a config change. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

it could use a little ui work though.

ElementX2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

I would like to see Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos and Stonekeep remade. They were pretty good back in the 90s but I dunno if the game play would hold up today, they would probably have to get rid of the old grid movement system.

Razmiran2207d ago (Edited 2207d ago )

I think theres still a niche place in the market for grid based games
That said, Id kill for a throne of chaos remake
Never played stonekeep, should I?

killswitch802208d ago

I would like to see a complete remake of Grandia II

Zeldafan642208d ago

I believe Grandia I and II are already being remade.

Nebaku2207d ago

Is 2 better than 3? I've only played 3, and LOVED the battle system, but the story and world were as cliche as a ps2 rpg could get.

Lazyeye792208d ago

Arc the Lad was a fun game. Would like to see that remade.
