I was told this wOkE game was gonna flop :D
Anyway, it’s still not available in my region fml D:
I’ll buy it used for $20 in a year. 😎
Blah harasses devs over his character wars, the successor to the console wars because he’s jealous of Rosalina
if it wasn’t censored i might purchase this at the full price.
Really impressive numbers—over 641,000 physical copies on Switch alone in Japan is huge, especially for a remake. It really shows how strong the Dragon Quest brand still is there, and how well the HD-2D style resonates with fans.
Honestly, it’s great to see a classic RPG get this kind of success again—hopefully it encourages more high-quality remakes like this in the future.run 3 online
