Square Enix revealed Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional at the Tokyo Game Show earlier today. It’s set for release on February 9 with a 5,250 yen price point.

It goes without saying that Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional is the original game, though with some new content. Numerous characters from past Joker games will be present as well as popular monsters from previous titles. Square Enix is also packing in new scenarios. Those who have save data from the original Joker 3 can import monsters they’ve collected.

Get a look at the first Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional trailer below.
