According to IGN, via the magically delicious Siliconera, Squenix, the corporate megalith that brought you such games as Final Fantasy LMV: Numeric Strife and Dragon Quest Heroes: A Hard Day's Moogle, is planning on releasing a remake(s) of the older titles in the Dragon Quest series to tide people over during the excruciating wait for the Nintendo DS nerdgasm-in-a-box Dragon Quest IX. This news comes straight from company CEO Yoichi Wada, during a financial briefing that took place in Tokyo earlier today.
Ze quote:
This summer, we’ll release Battle Road in arcades and Sword for the Wii. Following that, we’re thinking of a release for 9 once we’ve released remake versions and so forth
We've got our fingers crossed that this isn't going to be yet another in Square-Enix's long line of handheld teat-milkings, but the smart gil is, unfortunately, stacked waist high around the idea that it will be more of the same.

Congrats Squarenix.
Neither do I. But did you know that Gary Burghoff from MASH had a deformed left hand? That's why he always carried the clipboard.
I'm not sure, my mind is like a katamari made up of thousands of useless factoids. I've yet to figure out how this can make me rich.
And if they do make remakes, we can probably kiss goodbye any chance of seeing Dragon Quest games on Virtual Console in a timely manner. Why make just $5 or $8 when they can make at least $30 with a retail version?
Think about it... Right there, at the far left of your avatar. That guy has a DEFORMED HAND. Doesn't the thought of it keep you up at night, haunting your dreams?
http://bloggingdq.wordpress.com is my site where I'm blogging my way through the entire Dragon Quest series from the first game to the end.
I just started about a week ago..so I'm only now getting rolling through DQ2... but if you're at all interested in what the games are like (spoilers obviously), then drop by and take a look.
Me too. :(
Added to IE favorites. As a fellow DQ fan who's finished all titles so far (1-8, no spinoffs) it'll be interesting. 1-3 are my least favorites, so hurry through them! hahaha
I'm currently playing VII and I plan to replay V after I'm done (which should be very soon)
The only "cheat" I use is speed up features on emulators as I really don't have enough time right now to slug through DQ games in real time
