I’ve thought about trying some of the spin-offs. DQ Monsters - I played the first Pokémon way back, got all 150, but after seeing Silver/Gold seemed to be just more of the same I checked out and haven’t been interested in that kind of thing since, so the Monsters subseries doesn’t appeal to me much (plus it has Terry, who I’m not a fan of.) Ditto the Builders series - just not interested in the whole Minecraft type of thing.

Treasures looks like it could be fun but there’s a lot of other things out there to get to. If they ever made a Princess Alena spin-off, I would be all over that!

Yeah I tried Monsters but gave up on it. Treasures though I'm liking alot even though it's a spin-off and not even turn based.

Any hope that a Pixel Remaster of Dragon Quest 1-6 will be released in the future?

The HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III should be out fairly soon, next year probably but maybe it’ll pop up later this year. They say they may do more of them, starting with I and II, but I think they should do IV and V next if they intend to make more HD-2D remakes. Unless they’ve been working on them all already, these will all probably take quite a bit of time to come out.

DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake – Release Date Trailer – Nintendo Switch - YouTube

[ChadFL]

So glad all three of the original trilogy are getting an HD re-release.

I want full details, especially as regards content. It better have at least all of the material from the Game Boy Color release.

Square Enix store has an exclusive collector's edition up for $200. At least they're no longer charging absurd shipping prices, with a $10 option. Priced crazy, as most of their collector's editions always are. And yet, I'm still considering this one to add to my Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest collection.

So physically it's the game, a box and acrylic crap. Not even any music (physical OR digital), steel or artbook. How is that $200?

Square Enix is always gonna Square Enix. They've been going these $200'ish collector's editions exclusive to their store for some time now. Here are some other examples - all $200 plus shipping.

[Show spoiler]Visions of Mana:


Star Ocean:


Octopath Traveler II:


Diofield Chronicles:

I actually did pickup Octopath Traveler II in an impulse buy.

And yet, I foolishly cancelled my Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collector's edition, just after ordering it, angry are Square for the way they handled the North American release. That thing turned out to be WAY more rare/valuable than I thought (still goes for around $600 sealed) because Square Enix made the North American physical release exclusive to their online store in very limited numbers. Heck, the North American FF Pixel Remaster for Switch standard (without collector's edition stuff) alone goes for $250+ sealed.

[ChadFL]

I don't think they specified, but you can be sure Dragon Quest 1-2 will end up getting a physical release as DQ 3 is getting. Dragon Quest is a game franchise where the Japanese market has always made up the lion share of game sales and given Japanese consumers having a far greater avoidance of digital only than Western markets, you can be sure it'll get a physical release. I do hope it gets a North American physical release, but I'm less sure about that than a Japanese physical release. They could pull some BS like putting one game on cartridge, one download code for a NA release, as if often the case.

Artdink has been confirmed to be handling part 3.

Gamestop has this up for $49.99 instead of the $59.99 everybody else has it listed for.

That's weird they've releasing 1 & 2 after 3, although I guess chronologically it works. Anyway the trailer looks amazing and I love the music playing, which is the credits music and one of my favor Dragon Quest songs. This is obviously a no brainer, I'm getting it, an might even get the collector's. Looks like it's not sold out thankfully. I still hope though that we might hear about a PS version because I would really like to play them getting trophies but if it's Switch only I guess I will get that. treasures was Switch only so I guess the deal isn't in place anymore. Also I still wish they do this for DQ4 which is the one I really want remade properly. But 3 is definitely one of the best!

Same here. My first two RPG's as a kid Dragon Warrior, followed by Dragon Warrior IV. DQ/DW IV was always my favorite of the series. They did put 4, 5, 6 on the DS, which was really well done, looking great for that handheld. Still, I've love to see 4-6 possibly get a 2D remake on the Swich 2. Also, 4-6 have gotten extremely pricey to get your hands on these days. Each game CIB can now run well >$100 for the DS versions, which had a fairly low print run in North America.

So it seems nobody read or noticed or cared to comment that I incorrectly said this is Switch only when it's not. Anyway, I ordered the collector's edition for PS5. The figures are going to be so cool. And I'm pretty proud that I'll be able to have the collector's edition. This is one of my favorite games ever!

Fortunately I do have 4-6 on the DS. 6 is something I should really play again as I loved it but I only played it the one time after it's DS release. 4 I've played at least 10 times but that was mostly the NES. It's the one I most want to be remade, in DQ8 style, even more than this game, though that was my next most wanted for a remake.

The PS5 pre-order is eligible for the Target B2G1 sale

Had started considering waiting until we knew when 1 and 2 were coming to get this but can’t pass up $42 on Day 1.
