“We’re big fans of TV shows like Lost. We love shows that really cement the feeling where you watch an episode, you have a cliffhanger, and you absolutely need to watch the next one.”

“That’s our plan for season two and beyond, [for us] to approach it in a similar way. ‘What’s the whole point of the season? Where do we start and where do we end up?’” – Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham

– Rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of the 3D screen
– 60 frames-per-second (with/without 3D)
– Re-touched detailed geometry and graphics
– Circle Pad Pro support
– Out in spring 2014

Nintendo Everything has received confirmation from Muteki Corporation that Dragon Fantasy: Book I as well as Dragon Fantasy: Book II are in the works for the 3DS.

Dragon Fantasy: Book I should be hitting the eShop sometime this spring. Book 2 will likely follow “as early as in the fall or winter,” according to the studio’s creative director Adam Rippon.

Dragon Fantasy: Book I previously landed on a number of platforms including the PS3, PS Vita, PC, and iOS. However, Nintendo’s handheld should end up receiving the definitive version. That’s because Muteki has made a bunch of changes/additions for the new release, such as the inclusion of 3D visuals, built-in maps of towns/dungeons, dual screen battles, the ability to turn off/on random battles, and more.

You can find a few exclusive screenshots from the 3DS version of Dragon Fantasy: Book I above. We’ll have more details about the game in an interview due to be published this weekend.
