>40$ for 3 mobile ports >Doesn’t include the Famicom and Super Famicom versions like the Wii collection had. >No DQ III monster animations since it’s the mobile version.
How does a company like SE manage to make the perfect collection with Collection of Mana and then fuck up literally THE SAME CONCEPT months later?
You can get these 3 games on mobile for 16$ and they are EXACTLY THE SAME.
What the fuck do you mean Collection of Mana is the perfect collection. It's the same shit, 3 old roms for 40 bucks. Overpriced and not worth it.
Samuel Stewart
wait, are they confirmed to be the mobile ports? That's crazy
Luis Price
>switch uhhg, these games would be perfect on the sony playstation vita
Parker Ortiz
Square Enix is just a horrible company. They occasionally do something good, e.g publish games like Nier, Octopath,etc or make FF14 Heavensward/ShadowBringers and Dragon Quest XI, but the majority what SE does is just garbage.
Colton White
They're already on the Vita tho
Parker Bell
>Digital only in NA >If you want them physically you have to import the asian version with english. >Will have to pay shipping to import it and the asian version will most likely fuck up my Switcg NTSC collection with a weird asian spine. Hard pass.
But aren't the mobile versions of these games always reccomended?
Gabriel Collins
>5 Dragon Quest threads >at least half the replies are low effort Yes, that's correct.
Jacob Carter
ITT OP doesn't know math and a bunch of retards who don't actually read articles replying and eating up the bait
Kevin Stewart
I'd like to get it, but I'd like to finish playing the NES versions first. I like the spritework better there, anyway.
Dylan Clark
Jesus fucking christ, that's disgusting. Are they really going to try to sell that shit?
William Lee
The best version of 3 is on SNES and GBC. Those versions have a bonus dungeon (the GBC has 2 bonus dungeons), monster animations, and a board game mini game, and the ability to hit your own party members when they are confused. the mobile version has 1 bonus dungeon, no monster animations, no board game mini game, and, last I checked, no way to hit your own party members when they are confused. It's still a fine way to play, but there are better ways out there. This Switch version seems to be based on the mobile port.
Wyatt Russell
Dear god no, please let this be a joke
Sebastian Bell
>Nintendo fans >paying for 30 year old ROMs name a more iconic duo
Ryder Bailey
PC BROS WHAT ABOUT US????
Michael Morgan
Sonyfans buying a system with NOGAEMS
James Cooper
I was thinking about this the other day. It's not just Square Enix. On the iOS store I can buy games like Minecraft, Terraria, Hyperlight Drifter, the Ace Attorney Trilogy, Dead Cells, Final Fantasy, TWEWY, etc. for a fraction of the price of what you'd pay on the Switch. The games are all the same as the Switch version, so why should I even buy it on there?
Jaxon Sullivan
>This Switch version seems to be based on the mobile port. I should elaborate on this. The Switch version is really just a port of the versions of 1-3 that were released on PS4 and 3DS around the time when DQ11 was released in Japan. That was based off an older mobile port iirc, so this Switch version is based on that same older mobile port. It should still play fine, but I personally prefer the other versions of 1-3 out there.
Jason Barnes
>480i garbage I'll stick with emulators, thank you.
Levi Fisher
I mean in DQ's case OP sucks dicks and called it a $40 package, when in reality all games end up costing about $25 that's still a bit more then buying them on OS mind you, but paying $4 more for controls that don't suck royal testicles is fine by me
wtf? the mobile versions I played didn't look like this garbage at all
Alexander Gutierrez
It's FF6 all over again jesus christ
Christian Reed
The mobile devices allow you to connect console controllers through Bluetooth just the same as the Switch does. I'm not trying to argue against the Switch since it's probably my favorite console right now but I think in a lot of cases it could make sense to just get the mobile version and save some money if you have a decent tablet or phone. I guess the benefit I see from the Switch is that you don't have to carry around a controller with you and you can save the battery for your other devices for more important things.
Dominic Parker
just fucking emulate the super famicom versions retard
Blake Gomez
>$5 >$6 >$12 >op says $40
son, do you even math
Julian Fisher
which dq game has the best story
Owen Cook
Because only 6 titles had made it to the West by the PS2 generation, and all of them released considerably late compared to their Japanese releases.
Matthew Wilson
It was also censored with costumes and mini games, plus the frame rate and resolution are both worse than the original on the PS2. The extra added characters also take far too long to join the party, one a practically being end game; the best thing to do is just watch the new ending on YouTube. I love the game and have the removed content (music and censorship) resorted with a modded 3ds, but it's still a poor port.
Matthew Flores
How do you fuck up Toriyama's artstyle this badly?
Luke Thompson
>Perfect The new localization of Seiken Densetsu is a much worse translation, has horrific text boxes and fonts and for some reason the entire game is much brighter like it's an old GBA port
Aaron Ramirez
Only assholes recommend the mobile versions.
Oliver Moore
I want to FUCK that Warrior.
Cooper Foster
Have they tried, I don't know, leaving the sprites as they are?
Wyatt Butler
LOL
Tyler Turner
Why does that look so weird? Like the sprites have been pasted onto the field.
Isaiah Wilson
5 or 11 for an overall story and 7 for an episodic story.
Jackson Taylor
Why do you think calling then roms is bad? What exactly do you think games are?
Adrian Rodriguez
>SE claims they want to make their entire catalog available >Won't remaster my life as a King or darklord.
Nolan Torres
Because they're taken from the mobile version on Japanese dumbphones (as in before the iphone, so yes, the iphone version is a port itself) and the backgrounds are from the SNES.
Evan Jackson
>The new localization of Seiken Densetsu is a much worse translation Why?
Andrew Martinez
They made Carlie/Charlotte into a retard.
Nathaniel Brown
Why are they being greedy with it? I’m a major DQfag but the first three games aren’t worth $40 without some major work done. If they are the mobile ports then 1-6 for $40-$50 would be a fair deal
Hunter Kelly
They are boring for the average consumer and not edgie enough for your average anime teen consumer.
Logan Allen
What's more popular in the west SMT(mainline, not persona) or DQ?
Noah Nguyen
>$13.30 each for some of the best jrpg's of all time is not worth it I wish we they'd just range ban all 3rd world retards from this site already.
Aiden Scott
>it's another bot replaying to herself thread
Hudson Mitchell
Put it on Steam and I might get it you peepee-heads
The Mana collection. These DQ rereleases aren't worth even $0 because they're shitty mobile ports.
Dylan Perez
That might be hard to answer. I'm a huge DQ fan so I want to say DQ, but I also know that DQ outside of Japan is bascially niche, well before Smash at least. Right now I would say DQ is more popular, but before DQ11 it was SMT.
Jaxon Perez
>every single reply is the exact same as in previous DQ bot threads
Nicholas Phillips
Even the mobile ports look better than this. Why not just use sprites from those?
Zachary Lopez
>recently beat the mobile port of 1 a few weeks ago >thumb fucking hurts from screen controls being shit >mfw this news >its also pretty cheap Fucking ace. I never did finish 3 back in the gbc days.
Are you implying that piracy on phones and switch doesn't exist? I could already emulate the games on android emulator if i wanted
Jonathan Smith
How much is it gonna cost?
Ethan Davis
Or at least the snes version of 3 that have more content, animated monster and great ost. GBC could do it too. For 1 and 2 you can play it from snes or nes.I guess this is aimed for people who dosent want to emulate or dosent like to spend time searching for fan translated roms. And yeah, its 25 for 3 not 40, stop falsfagging.
DRAGON QUEST will be priced at $4.99, DRAGON QUEST II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line will be priced at $6.49, and DRAGON QUEST III: The Seeds of Salvation will be priced at $12.49 $23.99 for all 3.
It's just a worse written version of the story. You'll need to play both to understand. The new one is a lot more basic. The Beast King now also says "grrrr".
Lincoln Hughes
The mobile ports look awful. Getting function roms of the SNES versions would be preferable. I honestly would take the NES roms over the mobile games.
Eli Gutierrez
Oh, but I will!
Jordan Ortiz
>No Sword of Mana GBA >no PS1 or DS Mana It's trash.
Thanks. I felt dumb for putting the gbc and nes one on my 3ds, nice to know im playing a decent version
Christian Morales
Why did they make the sprites look worse?
Xavier Clark
The West already had games like Wizardry and Ultima long before Dragon Quest took the playstyles of both and dumbed them down for the masses. It simply didn't make sense to play a game whose main two gameplay aspects (combat and exploration) were done better by the games that inspired it.
Juan Morgan
you can easily emulate this game you turbo retard why are you shitting on it when you can make the game better yourself its nice having an all in 1
Grayson Rodriguez
Should I buy the old one then
Anthony Cruz
The NES versions look better anyway. They're just missing features and are a bit slower.
Jeremiah Robinson
Dont play the mobile version of III, shit sucks. Play SNES
Anthony Mitchell
Because sony betrayed weebs
Oliver Lewis
Nice, phone ports
Owen Howard
>Doesn’t include the Famicom and Super Famicom versions like the Wii collection had.
Why do developers do this bros? Like why not just literally port the old collection you had made already?
I'm still mad the new Namco Museum games don't let you walk around a hub world.
Julian Howard
Final Fantasy had already taken the crown
Luis Wilson
>1, 2, and 3 Man. I hope this sells well enough to get 4 and 5 out. 3 is good and 1 isn't bad but the first three are definitely not my favorites and very basic
Tyler Anderson
My main issue with this is DQ 1 and 2 are super fucking short games. If they're selling this collection for $40 it's a huge ripoff. The Mana collection had longer and better games and even that should have been 30 instead of 40
Camden Hughes
They're ugly as fuck man. Having the OG game with various graphics/scanline options would be the best. There's no reason why they couldn't port multiple versions of each for flavor.
Brody Carter
Yeah but what about the physical copy
Andrew Ortiz
>Especially with the characters interacting in 3? You're thinking of 4 readding party chat. 3 has make your own party with no dialogue.
Nolan Lee
it's 30 total
Luke Ramirez
The price is too high.
Gabriel Johnson
>when some retarded jap totally missed the purpose of nostalgiagrabs by ruining good old games with god-awful fucking sprite shit some sqeenix intern made man, not even Dragon Warrior is safe from the shit they did to the older Final Fantasy titles huh
Noah Diaz
I was actually considering getting this but never fucking mind.
