“Dragon Warrior 1+2″

  • GamePro, October 2000 (#145)
  • It’s June! So this month I’d like to take a look at RPGs! But not any old RPGs: Japanese RPGS! It’s June RPGs! J-RPGs! Japanese RPGs! Okay so maybe I’m not that clever!
  • Let’s start off with the Game Boy Color’s ports of the original Dragon Quests, which they managed to ‘cram’ into one tiny cartridge. Also note the box art: 10 years later and they still couldn’t bring themselves to use Akira Toriyama’s art, so instead we got medieval versions of the Rice Krispies elves fighting off Reboot-caliber 3D models.

Mehr Legend of Heroes im Westen

XSEED bringt weitere Teile der Serie nach Nordamerika, mit NISA-EU-Release folgend. Natürlich nicht Trails in the Sky 2, das seit Ewigkeiten angekündigt ist. Nein, Trails of Cold Steel für PS3/Vita wird es. Nach neuer Serien-Tradition sind sogar bereits die ersten beiden Spiele angekündigt, wahrscheinlich um Cold Steel 2 dann zehn Jahre in “coming soon”-Limbo zu halten.

Dragon Quest VIII 3DS screenshots, comparisons

Here’s what the Dragon Quest VIII port for 3DS will look like when it releases in Japan (and, likely, nowhere else) this August. Not too bad, considering the portable hardware’s limitations! I’ve also included a couple comparison images of the original PlayStation 2 edition shot off a television by SheepyGuy – they’re the two non-watermarked scenes on the top right.

Gematsu has full details on the game translated from Famitsu: new features include new characters, new scenarios, and unannounced StreetPass features. Surprisingly, IGN says the game will not feature stereoscopic 3D support!
