Tl;dr The day Dragon Quest 11 releases on Switch (Sept. 27) DQ 1, 2, and 3 will also be released on the eshop.
>However, you should know that these don't appear to be direct ports of the original NES classics. Instead, the screenshots and text style look similar to the mobile ports put out on iOS and Android.

>They're priced at $5, $6.50, and $12.50, respectively.

So are those mobile versions any decent?

They are build off the mobile versions if I remember right
>>5888397
They look really bad but if you are fine with how it looks it is based on the mobile version. DQ1 there's not really any changes between the SNES and mobile version. Maybe stat increases but overall it's the same game. DQ2 the game has sparkles on the floor where items are. Which DQ2 is notorious with fucking you over with it. Better stat improvements so Cannock (green prince) isn't useless like before. DQ1 and 2 SNES didn't have a lot added to it so the few tweeks to make the same a bit less of a chore is ok.

DQ3 however things are not looking as well as it should. For one enemy animation is gone. Another there's a board game in the SNES version that is removed from the mobile version. Honestly I don't really think of anything actually good about the mobile version over the SNES version. Unless you want to play official versions. GBC is there but I don't really like how tiny the screen is when exploring so I always went with the SNES.

Overall if you want to play official localization of Dragon Quest 1-3 this would be the one to go for but that being said SNES of 1-3 are still the ones I would go for.

1-3 SNES
4 - Depends on your feelings of the localization of the DS version honestly. It's really thick with accents (at least the first few chapters) which really sours your taste. Mobile put in the party chat they removed from the DS so that's the best version for that. Personally I enjoyed the NES version but you need to be ok with a bit of NES RPG interface.
5 - DS/mobile
6 - DS/mobile
7 - 3DS
8 - 3DS if you are ok with the 3DS screen resolution since it has more content PS2 if you want a better looking game
11 - Switch seems to be the best version that's coming out soon. Doesn't have the graphical quality that PS4/PC has but it has more content plus a 2D SNES style looking mode that you can play the whole game as.

You didn't give any actual reasons other than visuals, which amounts to OLD GOOD NEW BAD. I don't consider that a valid reason in itself.
"Abomination" is an incredibly strong word, and should only be used if the gameplay itself became altered, perhaps to the point of being fundamentally broken.

The party chat wasn't removed from the DS. It was removed from the localized version.
Party chat was only added for the PS1 version, it's not present in the original.
Dragon Quest isn't worth playing in languages other than Japanese.

4 DS has romhacks that add the party chat (from mobile version) or the NES script.
7 is far longer on PS1, but it depends if you think that's a good thing.
11 Switch combines PS4 and 3DS exclusives, plus orchestral music, dual voice acting and additional story content of its own. Only thing you're technically "missing out on" is the low-poly 3D mode from the 3DS port.

Some bits & bobs like puzzles got streamlined, but the biggest change was switching from random encounters to the neo practice of enemies having actual avatars on the field you ran into to start battle - that alone cut 7's playtime down by a good 40%
I for one think the 3DS version is much better because it trims the fat.

That's really only against bosses. Dragon Quest in normal battles Beat/Defeat is actually way more useful than you would imagine. But if you need to control your allies there are cheat codes that allow AI control battles. I manage to beat the game without it a few months ago and only really died once to a boss the rest I was able to lives enough before the AI script kicked in and had Cristo stop casting it.

Orchestrated music and 4 party battles instead of 3 in the SNES version and use of polygons than spirits. It's not a bad version just that it doesn't really change enough to really talk about in any meaningful way.

Who's "they?" I want names.
And that's just horseshit. The Switch version has the new 2D mode, is voice acted, and a whole slew of QoL improvements. The only measure it's a downgrade is in graphics, which (1) I don't care and (2) Even so, based on my own experience with the demo and what I've read others say about it, it's pretty universally agreed how great the game still manages to look on the Switch.

It's an Asian multi language release, so it has English.

The people who say S is a real down grade are the people who bought it on PS4 and are upset the Switch version is getting a fuckton more content so they are pretending that since their version has better graphics it's the definitive version.

I agree just that people view it in a way that it honestly isn't. Yeah the first 3-4 turns he just waste his turn/mp casting it. But you tend to be able to survive that at which point he "learns" it's immune to death and won't cast it again in battle.

Lel shut the fuck up you cuck. The “very fast” battle speed is only necessary for impatient zoomers. There aren’t any changes for the better.

Cute novelty but captures none of the atmosphere of the 3D mode. Same could be said about S’ downgraded graphics.

Wow, what an outrage. What a terrible, recent development which totally hasn't been happening since the 70s.

Besides, 7 out of the first 10 DQ games were (initially) Nintendo exclusive, and that's not even including all the spin-offs. As far as most people are concerned, it is absolutely a Nintendo franchise.

For me has to be V, literally a perfect game.
Not only the game stays true to the franchise but also manages to stay fresh by having monster joining your party.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 22 07:11:20 2019 No.5899009 >>5899003 The previous DQ opened up after you got the boat and aircraft. DQ5 is more like FF where new locations are only unlocked one at a time. Monster recruiting wasn't a good replacement for the human parties and the game relied too much on it.

Not unplayable just a lot of bad ideas mixed with rushing the game out. It's hardness just comes with lack of any actual directions on what to do, hidden objects on the floor that you can't have any idea they are there, lack of any real balance, and just Cave to Rhone and Rhone itself. Even everyone at Enix at the time said they fucked up and sorry they made it the way it is. At least you can say they learned a lot from DQ2 which is why DQ3 is so good.

DQ7 is my favorite with DQ4 a close second. I know I'm in a tiny minority in loving DQ7 but I really do love the stories they had for the different islands plus the main story is nice as well.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 22 09:40:35 2019 No.5899213 >>5899028 I don't think 4, 5, or 6 will be getting a rerelease in the immediately future because the DS versions are still relatively fresh.

True that's is a game with heavy story and linear, but, monsters where in many cases better than certain humans characters.
>>5899028
For me is the PS2 version it has a very good translation, the DS and phone versions are also pretty good, and the original is still playable.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 22 14:24:32 2019 No.5899783 >>5899238 The monsters lacked character. The PS2 version added party talk but it's pointless when half of the time you only have monsters to talk to and they don't have anything to contribute.

V came after IV.
III gave you full freedom in your party composition.
The monsters in V just didn't impress me. There was too much luck involved in getting them and their development too inconsistent.
I had some interesting companions like an evil apple or a Behoma Slime but most of the time I missed the human companions of 2-4.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 22 14:52:11 2019 No.5899864 >>5899846 The best monsters already easy to recruit as it gets, not sure what you are whining about.

Switch port is just the mobile port but with awful character art.
Play either a translation of the SNES ports of 1-3 or the official translation of 1-3 on the GBC.
From there, I recommend 4 on mobile or DS, 5 on PS2 or DS, 6 on DS, 7 on PSX, 8 on PS2, 9 on DS and XI on Switch

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 23 01:17:28 2019 No.5901123 >>5901120 Translations are far from the best way.
