GameCritics - When it was announced that the ninth installment in Square-Enix's venerable role-playing game series Dragon Quest would be a Nintendo DS exclusive, some of us were a little bummed out. Sure, Nintendo's popular handheld has made a fine home for re-releases of several of the earlier Dragon Quest entries—but after the glory of Dragon Quest VIII on the PlayStation 2, this seemed like a step backwards. The graphics wouldn't be as impressive, for starters, and it was hard to imagine the same level of detail in terms of narrative and gameplay emerging from one the DS's tiny game cartridges.
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!
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.
