Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 30, 2025
Developer: Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix
How do you follow up the remake of one of the most popular JRPGs of all time? Well, you take that beautiful HD-2D engine and remake both of the game’s predecessors using the same assets of course. And how do you dodge complaints that using the same game engine for these remakes is a lazy rehash? By putting an insane amount of effort into modernizing and expanding the stories, characters, lore, and world of these two classic RPGs. Square Enix and developer Artdink present for your consideration: Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. It’s two retro RPG remakes for the price of one! But is it worth it? (spoiler: yes, but with some caveats).

He confirmed that someone else said that – specifically animation director Yuji Shimomura. However, Kamiya also did say that there were publisher requests to have Bayonetta’s glasses removed.

Nearly a year after the case first started, a verdict has been reached in Nintendo’s lawsuit against EveryGameGuru, who previously streamed pirated and emulated Switch games.
The case against EveryGameGuru (Jesse Keighin) received quite a bit of attention given how defiant he was against the company. Although his channels were shut down, that didn’t deter things at all. Keighin informed his audience about how to pirate games and wasn’t taking things seriously. Nintendo mentioned in its initial lawsuit that “he sent Nintendo a letter boasting that he has ‘a thousand burner channels’ to stream from and [he] ‘can do this all day.'”
