Leaked magazine scan shows Dragon Quest VII heading to 3DS

This magazine scan, which is apparently taken from an upcoming issue of “Jump” magazine (perhaps someone with more knowledge of Japanese magazines could shed some light on which one) suggests that Square-Enix will be porting the seventh game in the Dragon Quest series to the 3DS. Originally released for the Playstation in 2000 , this remake looks like it will be ditching the sprites and 3D backgrounds in favour of a fully 3D graphical style. It also seems like it will be shown off at the upcoming Jump Festa later in the year.

We’re still waiting on confirmation from Square-Enix on whether this scan is legitimate or not. It certainly seems strange that this wasn’t announced during last week’s Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation, especially since it will apparently be released in February.

Edit: Incorrectly stated that the scan came from Famitsu. I should probably go to sleep soon.
