They obviously saw my post from the other week.
Definitely going to get these, kinda wish the west was getting the carts, but totally fine. Going to do a play together with my kids.
Yeah they aren't perfect versions but they're good enough and it will be fun to play.

Thanks, that is good to know.
Good to see SE - or is it Nintendo?- is still trying to push DQ in the west.
The mobile versions are super cheap, hope the Switch one will be priced accordingly.

Where is that nice thread that someone used to do about all the new games coming out in a particular month, this month must look nuts.
They're based on the mobile versions which were pretty competent ports, so they're worth playing.
In Japan, at least.
And its region free and in English, so if you don't mind importing, it exists.
If it is based of the PS4/mobile release, then bad pixel scaling, redrawn (poorly) enemy sprites on top of pixelated background, botched enemy battle animations for DQ3.
Now idk how it looks like as of now but I'd be damned if this is how someone would try for the first time these great games (albeit I never was a big fan of DQ2). SE sure as hell don't deserve anyone's money for that terrible job. (for reference : Dragon Quest 1, Dragon Quest 3 on PS4)
Again, not a lack of strategy. They did the same thing when XI released in Japan (secretly).
Hell yes!!! I knew they'd make it over, wasn't expecting them so soon, though. This rules. Hope we get a physical release here, too.
Mega Thread (A Guide for Getting Into Dragon Quest) lists mobile versions from 1-3 as all recommended. I'd definitely trust that over most other random opinions.
So my conclusion, if these are based on the mobile ports, great!

Glad to hear it! I was starting to think we'd all have to resort to the Asian release which would've been a bit silly. Still a nice option for the physical tho
Get outta here with this shit. For a lot of people these are the easiest legal way to play the games competently.
The ports don't ruin the game so keep this 'best version' gatekeeper shit to yourself.
Or at the very least come with a better post that explains why you feel this way.
I would rather people buy and play these to experience the games and to show SE DQ can be viable in the west, than to never get DQ games.
Some of y'all around here need to realize that not everyone wants to emulate shit or play this stuff on pc etc and having the opportunity to get them easily and legally is great.
Yes we would prefer they were better versions, but beggars can't be choosers. I'd rather have em than not.
there'll be an asian release with 3 games on the cart, and it supports english
i don't think a physical release for japan has been confirmed, i might be mistaken
looking at the screenshots a bit more, these do truly look gross. i'm not getting these, specially when you can see how gorgeous they can potentially look based on their worlds in DQXI S.
These releases have like 4 different resolutions going on at the same time...
HD text boxes with 16 bit backgrounds, higher res pixel art for the characters and then Toriyama art for the monsters (including new drawings for backgrounds)...

look at this shit. honestly it's mind boggling how disrespectful SE can be to their own legacy and history.
These are genuinely the most hideous ports of 2D games I've ever seen. And I'm including the FF mobile ports in that equation.
The character sprites seem to be more detailed and higher resolution while the SNES-era overworld tiles have seemingly been stretched by a non integer scale with the barest amount of smearing to make up for it.
The battle screens seem the least terrible but they still look remarkably cheap.

I put the pricing information in the OP, but I don't think I can change the title without a mod.
Report your own thread and put in the reasons. They'll update it accordingly.
