''The ninth iteration of the premiere Japanese RPG Dragon Quest has finally made its way to European shores, however unlike past titles in the franchise Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is doing some things differently.
Dragon Quest is a series that has almost remained fundamentally the same throughout its long history; it’s kept the same battle screens, the same mechanics, the same monsters and the same art style and has kept a tight grip of the same turn-based RPG core gameplay. The saying don’t fix what isn’t broken comes to mind and for good reason. Dragon Quest is a consistent performer for the most part in terms of sales (in Japan at least) and quality so why change the winning formula?''
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.
I love these extremely late, "me too" reviews on N4G
