This week’s issue of Famitsu has an update on Dragon Quest VIII. There’s not a whole lot of new information, but the magazine does confirm one new thing. We now know that Dragon Quest VIII’s 3DS version won’t make use of stereoscopic 3D.

Other than that, Famitsu’s article seems to be mostly rehash. The new scenario and party characters, StreetPass functionality, full voice-overs, and orchestrated soundtrack are all reconfirmed.

Dragon Quest VIII launches in Japan on August 27.

During a mall event tour in Japan, The Great Ace Attorney producer announced that Capcom is planning on releasing a demo on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It will basically be the same one as the one shared at Monster Hunter Festa, but it will allow those who couldn’t attend to give The Great Ace Attorney a try.

The Great Ace Attorney’s demo weighs in at 48.9 MB and offers 30 uses. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when it will be hitting the eShop. We should hear something more concrete soon.

How does Dragon Quest VIII’s new 3DS version stack up to the PlayStation 2 original? You can get a look at the images above and below. 3DS is on the left while PS2 is on the right.

I do want to point out that all of these screenshots aren’t direct-feed. Still, they should give you a decent idea as to how the two versions compare!
