About

I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.

Dragon Quest 3 SNES Remake English Patch is Released!

12:02 AM on 03.01.2009

Huzzah! For many years I have waited to play this game. Dragon Quest 3 is probably my favorite game in the series (but may be soon be cut down by DQ5) and while I have played it on the NES and Game Boy Color, I've always wanted to play the Super Nintendo remake. However, the game was never released in English... Until tonight!

If you love Dragon Quest or RPGs in general this is one that should NOT be passed up. This remake has been given a lot of care and is easily one of the best looking RPGs on the SNES. Below are some comparison screens and a video of the SNES game's intro in English. Once again, this is a stellar game that should not be passed up. Please enjoy!

Also, I promise that these images weren't meant to be this huge... Thank you Destructoid.

I can't figure out why they always display that big when I wanted them to be smaller. It's strange.

wilbo

damn it looks good with snes graphics
downloading asap!

i had this on the gameboy color.
jesus is this a hard game. I was able to beat DQ2 and almost speed ran DQ1, but 3 just felt like it liked to fuck with you.

probably just me though.

as for the snes remake: SKEET

Zoel

Well, I guess I'll ask for a Repro cart, Because i don't like playing on Emulators.

jackal27

@Zoel- I would love to get me some of that. How do you get those?

That's one site that sell Repro carts, you can ask the web owner, to have custom game made. I know there are other sties out there somewhere but I don't know any of them as of the moment.

jackal27

@Zoel- You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can't believe how reasonably priced these are! I may just do a blog post about these guys after I order Dragon Quest 5.

Nice! I was actually thinking of starting the NES version.

I'm only seven hours into DQV, friend. :( Don't do this to me.

Aurain

You are the bearer of joyful news. I haven't checked on translations in a few weeks now, so this is great to hear. Will be grabbing NOW.

naia-the-gamer

Soooo happy! I've watched this translation being passed to so many different groups over the years. I'm glad someone FINALLY finished it.

Yay! :D

jackal27

I'm really excited as well. I played it a bit last night and noticed a few bugs and typos, but nothing major so far. The team is still working out the minor issues, but it seems like a very solid release! Especially for how early on it is.
