Find out where it all began - the first three #DragonQuest games are coming to North America, and for the first time on console in Europe, on #NintendoSwitch!

You can start with any of the three games, so get ready for classic adventures from September 27th.

Hopefully they release Switch versions of the DS/3DS ports of 4 onward as well.

I was expecting them to stay in Japan like the PS4 and 3DS versions.

I'll pick up all three.

Bizarre that they're not also bringing over the PS4 versions.

Looking forward to picking them up and giving them a go. Hopefully they have a good price.

Awesome. A physical release like Collection of Mana would be even better, but I take what I can get

Which versions are these? I remember some complaining when this was first announced.

I think the last time I played these was on the GBC. I just remember they made the first so much less grindy that it was barely a game anymore... :)

User Warned: Port Begging
When Square said they want to make legacy titles available to everyone, they should have stated they mean Nintendo Switch. Yes, it's probably the best place to play these titles, and the Collection of Mana case was special due to lost code, but I feel these classic titles should also be on PC and PS4. I think they are on mobile, right? I don't want to do port begging here, just state that Square is again doing platform choice the Square way :D

Is it a bundle or separate releases? I just started playing DQ I again on my phone last night.

DQ3 is still great. The other two are very much the JRPG being figured out and codified.

It's weird because they already put 1-3 out on PS4 in Japan.

Good news - hopefully this is a step in the right direction for Dragon Quest Monsters to get a localised port as well

If they do a physical release later on I might buy these.

Surprised they have decided to bring them over and I guess they have decided to do it themselves.
