Nintendo Life - When Enix released the original Dragon Quest Monsters for Game Boy back in 1998, many quickly dismissed it as just another vain attempt to cash in on the Pokémon craze. But over the past 13 years, the Monsters series has developed quite a following and become more in-depth and multiplayer-friendly with each new release.
Siliconera: Most of the hours spent rearing monsters in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional can be imported into Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D.
Nintendo highlights a small selection of Nintendo DS games for the upcoming holiday shopping season.
GameShark: Despite the fact that the monster hunting RPG genre is pretty well defined by the Pokemon franchise these days, the idea of taking monsters into your employ for the sole purpose of fighting other monsters began back in Dragon Quest V. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 continues the DQ monster hunting party by combining the great monster design and combat of the Dragon Quest universe with the monster hunting and gathering of Pokemon to make a game that can stand well on its own once you get past the obvious comparisons.
