A version of Dragon Quest VII for Nintendo 3DS was announced last week. Despite being a port, the game will nonetheless feature some new story scenarios. Thanks to the newest issue of V Jump magazine, we now know that these new story scenarios will be called “Dhoulmagus’ Past” and “The Hero’s Childhood”. Dhoulmagus is the antagonist of DQ VIII, so a part of the story focusing on his past and motivations will be quite interesting.

Dragon Quest VIII will launch on Nintendo 3DS on August 27th in Japan. A Western release has not yet been announced.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition debuted in Japan on April 29. Media Create reports that the game sold 179,926 copies in its first week with a 45.77 percent sell-through rate.

Puzzle & Dragons Z was the previous entry in the series on 3DS. When it launched, the title sold 543,630 copies in its first week for a sell-through of 97.02 percent.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition may not have sold as much as “Z”, but retailers have indicated that both games primarily appeal to young 3DS owners. That suggests Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition could sell more units to those who purchased Puzzle & Dragons Z.
