Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has told Japanese news publication Nintendo Dream that Square Enix did consider creating a Dragon Quest 3 remake in 3D. Horii says that there were conversations among the development team, though they ultimately decided that the original charm of the game would most likely be lost in translation.
“At first there was conversation about making the game 3D, but if we make any Famicom game into 3D it significantly changes the feeling of the game too. By using HD-2D instead we can cleanly recall the memories of the original without changing the game itself.”
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!
That guy looks angry.
God I wish they made it using DQ11 engine it would have looked so beautiful and more exciting.
Wonder if they considered making Dragon Quest Builders 3, i can’t even explain how much i want a 3rd game.
Terrible logo.
While I get their reasoning, they could have just offered the original game to go along with the sale of the 3D remake. Some, if not most, would probably appreciate that.
That would have been awesome. For the 2.5D remakes, I often just stick with the OG on original hardware.
That already existed via DQ11′ s prototype lol
Censored Quest 3
I would love to see a sketch or some type of screen of how it would have looked.
