Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 6 days ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 30, 2025
Developer: Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix
How do you follow up the remake of one of the most popular JRPGs of all time? Well, you take that beautiful HD-2D engine and remake both of the game’s predecessors using the same assets of course. And how do you dodge complaints that using the same game engine for these remakes is a lazy rehash? By putting an insane amount of effort into modernizing and expanding the stories, characters, lore, and world of these two classic RPGs. Square Enix and developer Artdink present for your consideration: Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. It’s two retro RPG remakes for the price of one! But is it worth it? (spoiler: yes, but with some caveats).

Bayonetta’s glasses are an iconic part of the character’s look, but if things had gone in a different direction, they could have been removed.
That information comes from series creator Hideki Kamiya. Kamiya was responding to one fan asking about an older interview quote that stated “Bayonetta’s glasses are just like her underwear”. He confirmed that someone else said that – specifically animation director Yuji Shimomura. However, Kamiya also did say that there were publisher requests to have Bayonetta’s glasses removed.
