Support NeoGAF

[sixteen-bit]

Psyched.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Already imported VII but I guess now I don't have to do the same for DQVIII. Cool.

 

[GregLombardi]

Insta-buying 7. You have my money Square-Enix / Nintendo. 8 I can live without probably, but might pick it up.

 

[darkmagus]

OMG finally, i cant belive it, i am so happy today. day 1 for the two of them.

 

[Toth]

It's so hard to believe it is actually happening. My guess was the mobile iOS versions now being available to maximize sales (both will likely share the same translations) was the big reason.

 

[Lindsay]

Thanks to all the people who supported "DQ" Heroes in my steed which surely made these releases possible!

 

[Kazer]

Holy shit. Day one for both!

 

[nikos]

iOS version of VIII doesn't have the extra content the 3DS version has because it'd older unfortunately. Just a heads up since you might still want to play the mobile version but I'd hold out

Thanks for the heads up! I'll probably wait for the 3DS version.

 

[Lucentto]

So in 2016 I'll be able to play DQ VII,VIII,Fire Emblem, Star Ocean 5, Persona 5, FF XV..

Wat.

I will not survive.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

BUT I JUST SOLD MY FUCKING 3DS

 

[ash_ag]

2016 is already packed, 3DS-wise.

 

[Hugstable]

I can't believe it actually happened. I had pretty much given up hope after all these year...


It finally happened!

 

[Hours Left]

The best news of today, by far.

 

[Mcdohl]

I had given up all hope.

I really did.

Thank you, Nintendo.

 

[YianGaruga]

Insta-buying 7. You have my money Square-Enix / Nintendo. 8 I can live without probably, but might pick it up.

Same. I already played/loved 8 to death but never gave 7 the chance it deserves.

 

[noshten]

I will gladly eat crow until I throw up. Never though I would see the day. There's part of me that still can't compute that it's real after all these years of abuse. I guess I can finally retire this list of threads...

Day -1000000000000000000 purchases.

Now I can only complain about the inevitable complete lack of any advertising these games will get.

I'm really happy for you dude, thats the type of crow anyone would want to eat

 

[Scum]

 

[entremet]

Please buy these games, fam.

I want DQXI on 3DS for the US.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Don't forget DQ7 has the GOAT OST.

 

[lewisgone]

I haven't really had the time for video games recently and nothing is coming out soon that I desperately want, but seeing these games get announced, at the same time, made me insanely happy. I can't wait for them to be released. Thanks to whoever at Square Enix and Nintendo finally made this happen.

 

[Scotia]

Hopefully means the android version of 7 is coming to the west.

 

[Plinko]

In for both on Day ONE. Never played either.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

I'm now hopeful for the 3DS version of XI coming to the west.

I figured they were releasing the games in preparation for this. I'm far less excited for VII and VIII versus XI.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Please buy these games, fam.

I want the DQXI on 3DS for the US.

Terrys wonderland and Joker 3 may come too now, anything is possible, we are living magical times folks.

 

[Grunkle]

The description for DQVII on the Amazon listing is really messed up lol:

To restore light to the world, team up with the mysterious creature Midna and embrace the darkness to transform into a divine wolf.
Fight through labyrinthine dungeons, survive puzzling traps, and meet a cast of characters you'll never forget in this legendary Zelda adventure.
You can also get an exclusive Wolf Link / Midna amiibo and add bonuses to this title and the upcoming Legend of Zelda game for Wii U, launching in 2016.

It's the description of LoZ TP HD.

 

[tanooki27]

Thank god

 

[Zee-Row]

I guess translating DQ7 was possible after all? I wonder how close it will be to the PS1 original outside of the standard magic and attack names that are standardized now?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Finally.

It's been a long wait for Dragon Quest VII, but I'm glad to finally be able to play it next year. Horii delivered the goods.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

This freaking Nintendo Direct man.

Someone pull out that Beyoyo GodIsReal gif.

 

[Numb]

Tensions rising.

 

[kurahador]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! The only one left now is DQX MMO which looks hopeful considering DQ Heroes is coming to PC.

2016 looking up to be the best year EVER!!!

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Amazon allows preordering for DQ8 now. Still waiting on 7.
Placeholder date of Dec 31, 2016.

 

[Raw64life]

BUT I JUST SOLD MY FUCKING 3DS

I was so close to selling my 3DS but I wanted to figure out a way to back up all my game saves to my PC so I could replay the games on emulators in the future. Thank god I was too lazy to get around to figuring out how to do that before this announcement.

 

[lazyproblems]

So hyped for these! We waited a long time for VII, but it will definitely be worth it.

 

[magnetic]

This makes me really happy, which is weird, since I usually kinda get bored halfway through any given DQ game.

I find them pretty repetitive, and yet I still need one if these once in a while. They make me nostalgic even though I never played them as a kid - I guess they remind me of my SNES RPG phase as a kid.

Will buy both and start playing my copy of VI DS as celebration!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Isn't 7 considered being one of the better DQ games?

I think I'll pass on 8. I remember reading the port is a bit wonky and I already have the ps2 version.

 

[Daouzin]

So hyped! Glad I didn't replay DQ7 on PSOne all the way through. I want to allow the remake to feel as "new" as possible.

 

[Curler]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! The only one left now is DQX MMO which looks hopeful considering DQ Heroes is coming to PC.

2016 looking up to be the best year EVER!!!

And the Rocket Slime and 2 Monster spin offs... I tbink a Monster Joker 3 was also announced? But this is a start

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Is it New 3ds only?

No, you can play it on any 3DS system (and the 2DS).

 

[Percy]

About fucking time. Ridiculous how long this took to happen.

 

[Balmung421]

So happy :')

 

[Lizard with a ladder]

This news hit me harder than a Gigaslash on a Dracky.

brb need a puff-puff to relax the nerves.

 

[RurouniZel]

Me right now.

 

[massoluk]

This direct confirmed that I will be spending at least $300 on game products by mid 2016.

 

[Orniletter]

This is all thanks to Bravely Default's eye-opening US debut.

SE's CEO kept his word after all. *sniff*

 

[Sophia]

Isn't 7 considered being one of the better DQ games?

I think I'll pass on 8. I remember reading the port is a bit wonky and I already have the ps2 version.

Opposite, it's actually one of the more controversial games due to it's extreme length.

DQ 3, 5, and 8 are usually the ones held in high esteem.

 

[Aeana]

Isn't 7 considered being one of the better DQ games?

I think I'll pass on 8. I remember reading the port is a bit wonky and I already have the ps2 version.

8 3DS is actually incredibly solid. Nothing really wonky about it.

 

[Tizoc]

BUT I JUST SOLD MY FUCKING 3DS

Good!
Get a New 3DS now!

 

[Zee-Row]

I wonder if these classic lines from the PS1 original will get reused? The slime sure had a dirty mouth!

 

[BobbyRobby]

Incredible news. Down for both
