Ahead of its launch next month, Nintendo have been touring Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies throughout the UK as part of its Nintendo Unleashed tour. Taking a pit-stop at the London MCM Expo last month, many of those eagerly anticipating the English language release of one of Japan’s most popular titles of 2010 were able to get a first glimpse at the final game, and Electronic Theatre was there to bring you this report.
Dragon Quest IX was a quality JRPG, but it is only available on the DS, when every other game in the series has been ported to other platforms.
I'd love to play this. Couple things keep that from happening. I don't like portable gaming. I don't think my hands are huge but I bought a 3ds for braverly default and my fingers would cramp up after 20 30 minutes. Kinda killed it for me.
I hope they do port it but port it to everything. Not just the switch or whatever. I'm still salty about dragon quest treasure hunters being switch only. I really wanted that. I loved dq11. I know it's a different type of game but I like those types to
its the same with dragon quest 8 on the 3ds
i wanted the remaster for consoles too.
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!
