Square Enix saw the success of the Super Mario All-Stars limited edition, and has decided to mark Dragon Quest’s 25th anniversary in much the same way, with a Wii disc loaded with unaltered old games.
The Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Famicom & Super Famicom Dragon Quest I, II, III collection (that’s the title!) shows more interest in completeness than Nintendo’s set, however, packing the Famicom (NES) versions of Dragon Quest I, II, and III, along with the updated Super Famicom (Super NES) versions of the Dragon Quest I & II cartridge and Dragon Quest III, in a single package. It’s slated for release this September in Japan.
Technically, translations for all three games exist, since all three were released in North America on the NES. However, given that they were NES-era translations, some freshening of the text would probably be required before releasing them these days.
Dragon Quest 1, 2, and 3 collected on a Wii disc originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 11 May 2011 18:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
