The HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III popped up during today’s Nintendo Direct with the latest news from Square Enix, and it was also revealed that Dragon Quest I & II are getting the same treatment.
This release has taken a turn since when it was first announced. Originally, Square Enix unveiled the game in 2021, and that was only for an HD-2D version of Dragon Quest III. There was never any thought that the first two titles in the series would be getting the same treatment, though fans have more recently speculated that they could be a part of the package. The move makes sense as Dragon Quest I-III are part of the same story.
Thanks to Square Enix, we have the following details:

[Rapid Review] Monster Hunter Stories for Switch
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 14, 2024
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Monster Hunter Stories was easily one of my favorite titles on the system. The franchise lent itself surprisingly well to the monster taming genre, with a solid (albeit somewhat cliche) story behind it, an accessible rock-paper-scissors style of combat, and a gene system that added an unexpected amount of depth. But it was something of a sleeper hit, and most likely didn’t experience the franchise until the sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, arrived on the Switch nearly four years later. Now, just in time for the franchise’s anniversary, Capcom has finally brought the original to the Switch. But is it too little, too late?
