Here's Why Dragon Quest 11 On Switch Is Still So Far Off

What about the Nintendo 3DS edition?

Finally a new Numbered Dragon Quest game for Playstation! DQVIII 13 years old.

No builders or TWTWatBB thanks.

If Nintendo will not release a powerful console, soon will become a software only developer.

the people in japan already have the 3ds version so why?

The Switch is already outdated, it’s as simple as that. Nintendo is still hasn’t learned from last generation.

So its the Wii and WiiU 3rd party situation all over again - released late and seriously dumbed down versions.

Inb4 the "Sony bribed..." conspiracy theorists, amuse to me to no end though.

There's a pretty high probability that the Switch version might have a bunch of exclusive new content whenever it is finally ready, a la VIII on 3DS. New party members, story, dungeons, quests, etc.... Or it could be much dinkier than that, maybe only costumes and some items/equipment. But I'd say there's virtually no chance of them releasing this with zero new content over the PS4 to promote it.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if, with no 3DS SKU proper in the West, they're planning on including a port of the 3DS version for an all-in-one release. Something to consider....

"We ported it to the Switch but because the Switch hardware is terrible, it was unplayable. Now we have to do a lot of work and downgrade a lot of things so it will work."

It wouldnt be an issue if only ninty released a powerful console. Ninty be like, we need the gimmick!

I just want to know if we're still getting heroes 1&2 for the switch? Can someone from gamespot pester them until they give an answer for that game?

DQ 8 is one of the best rpgs I ever played. Tried my luck with IX, but the game... is even more childish and dumb than usual, I didn't like it, lol It's unreal how successful this series is, it's so simple, the Toriyama design was used to the point of exhaustion, etc.. But I am still interested, maybe I will give it a shot with the PC release. Now talking about the switch version, at least the Switch will receive something. After years of Wii and Wii-u, the nintendo fans can't complain about any port, that's the reality.

@og_gamerzzz: certainly it will be problematic to get some games ported to the switch due to the hardware limitations among other factors. nintendo may need to take control of publishing duties more often than not with some 3rd party games, or at the least strike a deal where it subsidises part of the porting costs, otherwise many publishers may not find it worth the time and financial investment to do so themselves. more AAA games need to hit the switch and at the same date as the other ports for the platform to remain healthy in the years to come.

Some day Ill just turn into a slime

I'll patiently wait for the Switch version, but it does suck that there is no 3DS version being localized. I thought the style was really cool.
