Dragon Quest IV Coming to the DS

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the very-targeted-appeal dept.

Kotaku is reporting that, while no official announcement has been forthcoming, a new Square Enix Dragon Quest IV teaser site has been launched. It seems that the game is slated for a September 16th release in the US for the DS. In addition to the announcement, the site also seems to be promising Dragon Quest V and VI at undisclosed times in the future.

    The same thing happened to Final Fantasy IV Advance, Final Fantasy V Advance, Final Fantasy VI Advance and Final Fantasy I & 2 Dawn of Souls.

    Yeah, it's not like those were for the Gameboy Advanced or anything like that.

    The Japanese Rom of the DS title had the complete English translation contained within it, minus a couple bits of the intro, and of some bonus content. The entire game was playable with a simple patch (google it) to the rom and a copy to a DS flash cart.

    The conversion on the DS is a quite nice job, actually. It's definitely my favorite of the Dragon Quest series - classic simple Dragon Quest gameplay, with excellent characters, and a driving sense of progress that is a bit missing from the later games.
