Creepy how EGMs rumors were right for once. This is their chance to finally give us the PSOne remake of 4 (the scans certainly look like shots from it anyway just ported to the DS) and I'd love a remake of 6 rather it winds up in English or not. :x

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Depends what you mean by 'alike'. They all generally share the same interface but the only games that are really that similar are 6 and 7 (since 6 uses pretty much the same job class system). If you mean the terrifying length in which the game never seems to end (DQ7 was a loooonnnngg game) then at the very least you're safe from that. None of the others are even close in that regard.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They've already remade 1~3 for the SNES and GBC. This is a good chance to finally get out 5 and 6 too, which never left Japan previously.

... That and I'm sure we can all agree it's either 3 or 4 which is the best game in the series (or not but I sure think so) and since they've already remade DQ3 semi recently for the GBC (and actually released it stateside...!) we should all be woot wooting for a remake of 4 we may actually get in English! =P

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What was so bad 'bout 5?

They allowed manual control in the PSX version and as far as I can tell the DS version of 4 is a graphically toned down (barely) port of the PSX version so I'm sure it'll allow for it too. Not that it matters, there is absolutely nothing anywhere that even HINTS these games are going to be available over seas so everyone get ready to flip off SE.

Dragon Quest 8 sold 600+k copies here so I'd say it garnered a fair amount of interest. (not sure if you were talking about this game or actually talking about 7, but I don't see why you'd mention 7 since it sold horribly here) Enough so to release some handheld games, how much could it hurt them if they didn't sell incredibly well?

Besides, it seems like even the shittiest crapfest handheld games sell decently so acceptable/oldschool RPGs would sell better there too compared to if they were released on a console. Well, it seems like it anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.
