You could’ve warned me all you wanted, but finding myself sitting here, playing Twisted Metal III, was an inevitability after I decided I wanted to re-experience the series. As I fought a monster-truck-driving grandma outside Santa&rs...

As my weekend at PAX continues, I dropped by the Square Enix booth to check out Dragon Quest Builders 2. The sequel to the crafting/action game set within the world of Dragon Quest.   The demo I played showed off the game's first 20 mi...

Last night's Nintendo Direct confirmed the rumor that Dragon Quest XI would be coming to the Switch. Packing in all currently available DLC with some brand new content, this "Definitive Edition" was said to be "exclusively" coming to Ninten...

Square Enix has announced the release of an upcoming 3D CG animated movie based on their legendary RPG franchise, Dragon Quest. The film, titled Dragon Quest: Your Story will hit theatres in Japan this August.Not a lot of details were forth...

There were so many jaw-dropping announcements from today's Nintendo Direct that some simply slipped through the cracks. We've covered most of the biggest stories from the event already, but there were two game confirmations that tickled me ...

While Lyle continues to train vigorously in the action room for the inevitable battle for the Nebraskan power grid, here's what's been happening in video games: Respawn Entertainment has a new battle royale game called Apex Legends! Micro...

Truth is, Kubrick did attempt to fake an episode of Pregame Discharge. The poor guy couldn't grasp the concept of a sex sequel, though. It burned into his mind like the eldritch horror that has burned into the minds of many attempting the ...

Akira Toriyama is arguably the most well-known artist out of Japan. His name is synonymous with two of the most popular franchises in the world: Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest. The former is his own creation, one that came to life over 1...

Dragon Quest X launched all the way back in 2012 in Japan, but it still makes its way into the gaming news-sphere every so often. As the first main series MMO it's a rather big deal, especially when you consider that it was never localized....

The Switch port of Dragon Quest XI was hinted at months before the system first hit store shelves. We know it's coming, but since it was announced Square Enix has remained tight-lipped on the highly anticipated port. At Tokyo Game Show...

I've always been more of a Final Fantasy man, but my relationship with Dragon Quest is arguably more special. Dragon Quest, more specifically Dragon Warrior as it was known in the west, was my first ever JRPG. With what would be a fairly in...

While I wasn't able to play Dragon Quest Builders when it released in 2016, the community members of Destructoid seemingly loved it as it was all they could talk about in the community Discord for a few weeks. So of course I know most of th...

There is a very solid chance I would not be the Dragon Quest fan I am today without Electronic Gaming Monthly. Before I really fell for the online scene, that magazine was my gateway to the gaming world. I subscribed for three years an...

Dragon Quest has been one of my favorite RPG series for about a decade. Simple, idealistic fairy tales resonated with me in my childhood the same way colorful, idealistic shonen anime worlds did in my college years, so it’s little won...

The Dragon Quest series is as popular as it is for a variety of reasons. Its dedication to tradition, impeccable artwork by Akira Toriyama, and an amazing soundtrack by Koichi Sugiyama combined for an experience that was unlike anything els...

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. I frankly only really enjoy two or three games in the series, so the best part for me is the music. I can’t think of a single game in the series that doesn’t h...

The first time I picked up the controller to play Minecraft I immediately wanted to set it down again. I was visiting my brother's family and it was my nephew's game du jour. Minecraft had never looked that appealing to me up to t...

After I spent about a week of frustrated time getting Dragon Quest X to run on my PC, I looked at my collection of Dragon Quest games and was a bit dismayed. I own at least one version of every Dragon Quest game in the main series and a cou...

My time in the hospital while my wife was having our new baby was long, dull, and full of Dragon Quest VII. I bought the game at launch for the 3DS and it took a year and a half to beat. I took my time with it, and many breaks in between, b...

If 2017 was the year of the Switch, 2018 no doubt belongs to PlayStation 4. Since January, the system has had one knock-out title after the next. While many are multi-platform releases, the exclusives it’s seen are some of the best ga...

I'll almost always go for an alternate costume if given the choice. Even when a character's default look is inherently cool, I still feel compelled to change. Whether you have a similar habit or you just plain adore Dragon Quest VIII, you'l...

E3 is a rather lousy place to play Dragon Quest XI for the first time. Sessions are limited to just 15 minutes, and with two small maps to explore with a bevy of points of interest, a single session isn't even a proper amount of t...

The whole "kids and salarymen skipped school/work" to buy and play Dragon Quest legend is one of my favorite stories to tell people who aren't familiar with the world of games. It's a fun little story that has grown in popularity in th...

There is something about the Dragon Quest theme song that, no matter what mood I am in, will brighten me up and make the next hour or so of my life truly wonderful. That's the mood I'm in now having seen the new trailer Square Enix re...

Sign me the heck up for a full-on Dragon Quest game in virtual reality. This month in Japan, VR Zone Shinjuku will offer Dragon Quest VR, an experience that assembles two warriors, a mage, and a priest to fight slimes, drackies, and other a...
