Dragon Quest III HD2D is coming to Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Windows Store

Given the order of the platforms in the vertical, I'm going to assume that Nintendo has marketing rights (or is at least the lead platform). If I were a betting person, I'd say it's a lock for next month's Nintendo Direct.
Horii implied they wanna Remake all 3 games but he couldnt say more back then when they revealed DQ3 Remake first.
I wouldn't read too much in to the logo order; unless someone explicitly buys the rights, given how the previous HD2D games have sold, Nintendos platform would be the lead platform no matter what.
We didnt have any platforms before, now when they are about to show it again they show all platforms right away.
Wasnt aware I needed to clarify that much.
DQ12 proper reveal, the insanity. And DQ roto trilogy hd2d trailer during June direct
Not to mention that this has a Japan-heavy sales tilt - and for some reason, there's no PS4 version this time around.
DQ 1 & 2 combined are still smaller & simpler than DQ3 alone, so they'd be awesome bonuses, but the idea of them releasing the first three games as a trilogy isn't unheard of, especially since the three games are all connected.
I'm excited if that's the case as DQ3 is an excellent game and I have a lot of nostalgia for DQ2. And if they kept going, a DQ4-6 remake trilogy would be amazing.
PS4 is over a decade old. At some point, companies are going to stop supporting it (unless those rumors of a PS4P have any truth to them).

I agree, it's probably the trilogy, since 1 and 2 are pretty short as JRPGs go anyway.
Was thinking of making my next DQ game either 6 or this if it hopefully comes out this year (Which I have a hunch it will since Fall seems very sparse and this has been worked on for a while now.)

Probably already too many platforms to port to still I think PS4 version overall would have sold better than Xbox version lol.
Cross-gen only matters if it's not on the Switch. I am confident in saying that at this point there is almost no one in Japan who will choose to buy this on the PS4 rather than the Switch.
That is kinda funny. Don't the HD-2D games all run on unreal?
DQX Offline still sold 92k on PS4 and 53k on PS5 between 2022 and 2023. Recent multiplatform releases on Sony platforms showed that PS4 install base is still active (e.g., Infinite Wealth sold at retail 45% on PS4). Franchises that got a sizable presence on PS4 could still do well there without cannibalizing Switch sales.
Isn't DQ3 a prequel? The first one in terms of timeline?
If so, it would make sense the subtitle "The quest begins"
Anywya, DQXIS was the first (and only to be honest) DQ game I played and one of the best JRPGS ever in my opinion.
Unfortunately no main DQ are available for PC :| and the spinoffs that are don't seem very good.

DQX Offline was 2 years ago. I don't see any evidence of that sort of pattern since PS5s became readily available. Infinite Wealth isn't on Switch.
A recent examples would have been Eiyuden. I believe it launched on Switch, PS4, and PS5. Both Switch and PS5 charted but I don't think we ever saw PS4 sales even appear. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Would be super cool if this was really the full trilogy, though I've played I and II via SNES remakes and only haven't played III (been saving my first full playthrough for this remake ever since it was first announced...)
Builders 1 and 2 are both available on Steam and are excellent! Though ironically, Builders 1 in particular would be more enjoyable after playing DQI since it is very referential to DQI.

Unsurprising. Sales are so abysmal that it likely cost more to maintain that build than it'd bring money.
Yes, DQ3 is extremely popular in Japan. DQ5 is a popular game too (and already has multiple remakes).
