Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake dev was “worried” about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launching first
Posted on 8 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
In the span of a year or so, Square Enix came out with both Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launched first last November. We then just saw the new versions of the series’ first two games a few weeks ago.
In a recent interview, producer Masaaki Hayasaka spoke about the release order. Speaking with Famitsu, he mentioned how he was “worried” that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake would be launching first – he didn’t want 1 & 2 to “seem inferior”.

The best Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Season 3 Ranked Battles
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A while back, we wrote a guide on the best Pokemon to use in ranked battles online in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s second season. Garchomp, Xerneas, and Metagross were all centralizing threats, but now Pokemon has thrown a wrench into the metagame by allowing Zygarde in Season 3’s ranked battles. Theoretically, that means you’ll be seeing a whole lot of Zygarde in high-ranked matches. So if you want to win in Season 3 ranked, a Zygarde counter is an absolute necessity – and while all of Zygarde’s counters crumple in the face of its Complete Form, they can cause it a great deal of trouble before it transforms. There are spoilers afoot in the full guide, so keep that in mind before you continue. On that note, entering ranked battles in general will also spoil you on the same thing, so keep that in mind as well.
