Square Enix passed along the latest details for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince today, which covers the game’s Online Battles, Quickfire Contests, and Online Shop.
Online Battles make a return, but now feature Quickfire Contests. Fizzy will become available in Rosehill Tower at some point during the game who will share the online options currently available to experience, as well as the chance to purchase DLC content. By performing well in Online Battles and Quickfire Contests, players can earn rewards that include new monsters and rare items. Meanwhile, the Online Shop lets you spend gold coins to obtain items like scrolls, which teach a new Talent to one of the monsters within the team roster.
Here’s some additional information about Online Battles, Quickfire Contests, and Online Shop in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince:
[Review] Star Ocean: The Second Story R
Posted on 5 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 2, 2023
Developer: Square Enix / Gemdrops
Publisher: Square Enix
Star Ocean has been around for a very long time, but for various reasons it has never gained the same sort of recognition or critical acclaim as Square Enix’s other long-running franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. A series that blends science-fiction and fantasy in a mix that might best be described as hit-or-miss across its six installments, it seems to be something that those who have heard of it either embrace wholeheartedly or tactically avoid. But the common consensus amongst fans is that Second Story is the best the series has been to date. After bringing Star Ocean: First Departure R, a port of the PSP remake of the first game, to Switch, Square Enix have now released Star Ocean: The Second Story R, a full remaster of the original game in a new engine with a host of quality-of-life improvements to make it a more modern experience. It is with great pleasure that I say that this is a resounding success, and captures the charm of the original while improving upon it in almost every way possible.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R appears to be yet another game on Switch with a physical release that requires a download.
Reddit user Casting_Quarters managed to find the RPG at Walmart even though it won’t be out for another week. At the bottom of the boxart, that’s where the dreaded “download required” label can be found. The back mentions that players need to download at least 3GB, but the final size is apparently 4.1GB.

Super Mario RPG has only ever appeared on the Virtual Console and SNES Slassic, but now Nintendo is giving the game a full overhaul. Obviously, the graphics have been reworked (and there are special cinematics as well). Additionally, the title’s original composer is back on board to update the music.
As for the actual game, players will be going on a quest to save Star Road and stop the troublemaking Smithy Gang. Mario, Bowser, and Peach are in for the ride as well as fan-favorite Geno and Mallo.

[Review] Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest Adventures of Dai
Posted on 6 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 28, 2023
Developer: Square Enix / GameStudio / Kai Graphics
Publisher: Square Enix
Although it isn’t quite as influential in the west as it is in Japan, there’s no denying the impact that the Dragon Quest series has had upon RPGs over the years. With eleven mainline entries and several spinoffs, it is one of Square Enix’s more enduring series, and has branched out into other media during its lifetime. Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai started life as a manga based upon the franchise, and has received two anime adaptations, with the most recent one wrapping up last year. Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai comes full circle, being a video game adaptation of that anime. Although it loses a little in the transition, it serves as an excellent gateway into the series, but is unfortunately incomplete and rough around the edges, and is difficult to recommend solely on its own merits.
