What are the chances of DQ11 Switch coming Stateside?

[Cornbread78]

We don't know anything about the Switch version yet (other than it being based off the PS4 one), but I REALLY want to take this game on the go. The game will probably suffer some graphical hits, but I don't care. What are the chances Square-Enix will leave this version in Japan?

100 %.

 

[Eolz]

Really high chances for the Switch version, considering it's still being made, in UE4, and with the same script.
I'd be a lot more worried about the 3DS version sadly, even if there's a chance of it coming just due to Nintendo wanting some 3DS games next year.

 

[linko9]

If they're localizing the game anyway, they'd be throwing away money to not bring over the Switch version as well.

 

[K Samedi]

I mean its already announced
For the west. If Square Enix doesnt want to publish it, im sure Nintendo will.

 

[Deleted member 1413]

If they're porting the PS4 version, 100% I'd say.
Hopefully they both come out at the same time.

 

[Aeana]

Depending on what it is, I'd say 70-100%. If it's a port of the PS4 version then it's a lock. If it's something else, then I think there's still a good chance.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Almost 100%

 

[Giudecca]

Near 100%. It's the 3DS version you should worry about not coming over.

 

[Philippo]

100%, just like PS4.

The real question is: will they release together?

The PS4 version is not coming before Late Spring-Summer 2018, and the game is built on UE4, so i hope there is a chance they can get it up and running (and well optimized!) for the Switch in time for a simultaneous release.

 

[RailWays]

100%
I would be legit shook if it didn't. Real question is whether it launches day and date with the other versions

 

[Deleted member 2793]

70%? Probably will be localized after the PS4 one releases. Not 100% sure tho because of japanese companies and exclusivity deals, the Switch version will still take a long time to release.

 

[salromano]

Probably. I think that's the whole reason they delayed sharing any info about localization (including platforms) until fall. I'd wager we get info on the PS4/Switch localization the same time Japan gets its official Switch announcement.

 

[Man God]

100%, day and date of the PS4 version. It's the 3DS version you should worry about.

 

[jeffrockz312]

50%

 

[ASaiyan]

I wonder what the chances are of them finally revealing this phantom third version before the PS4 version releases here.

 

[SunDimension24]

Very Very Very High chance it will come over stateside. The only thing we will have to wonder about is will the 3DS version come over here and will there be a PC version announced for the west.

 

[Deleted member 278]

I can't imagine a world where DQ Builders is localized for Switch and not DQ 11.

 

[Zen Hero]

I'm feeling it depends a lot on how much Nintendo wants it. And I'm guessing they do? I don't see why they would squander the opportunity to have a high profile jrpg on the system, even if it isn't super popular in the West. It's the kind of thing that builds cred among hardcore fans.

It's my most anticipated version, anyway. Hope we see what it is soon.

 

[gigaslash]

I really wanna have a look at the switch version

 

[Nairume]

It almost certainly will.

 

[Deleted member 6137]

I'm going to be cheeky and say 110%.

 

[Deleted member 62]

Nintendo is bringing over Dragon Quest Builders to Switch. So if Square Enix won't bring over the Switch version of Dragon Quest 11, Nintendo probably will.

 

[R_thanatos]

Mostly good i'd say .
The switch is hot right now , the game is anticipated , the previous dragon quest game ( DQ9 ) was on 3ds and sold well .

There is no reason to panic.

 

[Quo Vadis]

At this point, I think it's guaranteed. Seeing the work Nintendo has put on the Dragon Quest franchise the past few entries (DQ7 & DQ8 on 3DS) and how they were adamant about bringing the games outside of Japan, I believe it's safe to say it is coming stateside.

Part of me hopes that the Switch version will release alongside the PS4 in the west...maybe...hopefully?

Spoiler

Please do it Square/Nintendo

 

[funky]

I would bet PS4 and Switch will release day and date in the west.

I wonder if they drop 3DS though

 

[Vault]

Its the 3DS one to be worried about

 

[Dunban]

I'm feeling it depends a lot on how much Nintendo wants it.

Click to shrink...

The same Nintendo that's been pushing Dragon Quest relatively heavily in the West (in light of its popularity in the region) for a decade now? I don't think there's much to worry about on that front.

 

[MrNewVegas]

DQXI on switch should contain both the modern look and the 3ds old school look.

How sweet would it be to play on your tv in modern and then as soon as you undock it flips to the 3ds version.

 

[ShimshonNehorai]

One has to wonder why the Switch version is taking so long..
