I’m sure at one point the Dragon part of the title of this series meant something. At this point there are more slimes running around than dragons so it would be more appropriately named Slime Quest. But, for unexplained reasons, Square Enix have stuck with Dragon Quest and it remains the second most popular role-playing game series in Japan after nine entries. In fact, this ninth entry is the most popular entry in the series so far. And yet, Dragon Quest is still really niche in the West. The two remakes on the DS, Dragon Quest IV: The Chapters of the Chosen and Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, have hardly registered on the collective consciousness of most Western RPG gamers. Will Sentinels of the Starry Skies be the one to change this? It certainly deserves more attention – I found it quite a bit more appealing than the earlier remakes."

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!
Dragon Gaming recently published an article on Welsh representation in gaming. The article was comprehensive enough – covering big hitters such as Assassin’s Creed IV and Ni No Kuni, as well as some lesser-known games, people and companies. It seems, however, that they missed quite a few neat cases of Welshness in the industry. Many people in the community reached out to them on Twitter and Reddit, pointing them to check out some of the examples they missed, so check out they did. Here’s a little more representation of Wales and the Welsh in video games – straight from the community.
