- Dragon Quest IX (10/10/10/10, 40 points): The newest game in Japan's national RPG love affair receives the tenth perfect score Famitsu has given in its 23-year history -- and the fourth they've awarded since the start of 2008."
Despite having some of the best storylines and customization options in the series, Dragon Quest IX is the only installment to never receive a port.
I wo set why this port never happened. Now with a larger and more interested fanbase, may e they will?!
I wish the majority of the previous mainline Dragon Quest games were readily available on modern platforms. 3DS is the only system that fits that criteria but this should be expanded upon
Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.
EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.
The world is not enough had a really good game made by eurocom on n64, it was overshadowed by goldeneye and perfect dark unfortunately, I think it has aged better in certain ways, and it had a better framerate. I miss the old days of solid bond games.
There were a bunch of fun Bond games, but Goldeneye and World's Not Enough (running on the ski lines in multiplayer was too much fun back in day)
Nightfire was also really great, as well.
I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.
6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time
Peter Jackson's King Kong.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.
To this day, Dragon Quest IX remains a Nintendo DS exclusive title. However, the team behind the game has made comments suggesting that a Dragon Quest IX remake is possible.
Why would you want it on ps4 I have a switch and ps4 and it would be perfect on switch
It’s not final fantasy to need high end graphics plus always sold better on Nintendo
@Gemmol - Why? Because the PS4 version is ALWAYS far superior to the Switch version. Better Frame rates, better resolution and most importantly... TROPHIES!!!
@mr marvel
If the game is being made ground up for the switch it won’t have frame issues or resolution issues so your point do not stand
Your point only work if they made it for the ps4 version first than ported to switch
The developers want to make it on switch so the game would be ported to ps4 if they made it so all these things you bring up have more effect on the switch
Because I only have a PS4 😑
How would this game being suited for Switch discredit it from also having a PS4 version? A number of Dragon Quest games nowadays release on PS4 & NS, why stop there with a possible DQIX remake?
Original was on Nintendo only so I can see why they would pick switch only, but I can see why you want it now, not everyone have switch and ps4 like me so hopefully they make a ps4 version for you but at least give the switch some exclusive features if they plan to port to ps4 like being able to play in 2d like the original DS version or whatever
I'd want it on PS4 & Switch, like it is in Japan. I would buy it on PS4, cause of friends and performance.
I'd be game for that. It was fun having a team of DBZ characters running around. Lol
