Dragon Quest Heroes 1 And 2 Are Brawling Their Way To Nintendo Switch In Japan

This looks amazing, always loved Toriyama's artwork. Can't help but watch the trailer picking out characters that look like they come from Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball Quest Heroes please.

No confirmation for the West? Damn, would be a pretty good addition to the Switch's catalogue.

Can someone who played the ones on PS share an opinion? How does it look to them?

Would love this in Europe but geez, that voice in Japanese trailer is annoying as hell, couldn't even finish the whole video...

Since there's no region lock, we can import Japanese games, so I'm fine with that Will have to polish my Japanese though!

So should i compare this to Hyrule warriors?

As the game looks interested but just wonder if the gameplay is the same as in those games

@mateq

Forgot about that fact but OMG this will be great as their were plenty of games that i wanted on 3ds that were region locked

@KappaBeta got 100% on the ps4 version on DQH1 haven't played second yet. It looks great comparatively speaking. The game is super fun too. It does get repetitive after a while but I still enjoyed to 50+ hours I put into it.

@KappaBeta I like it more than a standard Dynasty Warriors game, but not as much as Hyrule Warriors.

I'm actually glad the Switch got both and not just the other one. I'm die hard Musou fans so any franchise that hit the Musou scene is interesting to me.

We just got DQH 1 on PS4 for $10, haven't played it much yet.

DQH2 is only coming out in the west April 28, so they could coincide this release in the west w/ the single game on the PS4. (Which would almst be the opposite of Mass Effect on Wii U. Not really, but similar.) Anyway, that;s probably why this isn't announced for the west yet, they may still be doing the translation for DQH2.

@Peach64 My thoughts exactly. I like many things about the first Dragon Quest Heroes over Hyrule Warriors, but for some reason, I just can't put down the latter.

For "gameplay enhancements" read you can shake your joy cons, in all seriousness these are Dynasty/Hyrule warriors in a skin and quite fun for a while

Please please come to Europe for launch window. Along with ALL the other DQ games.

Please?

There's listings for this and Octopath Traveller on Best Buy's website.

Localization for Europe and it's perfect <3

@Dakt oh ya, region free baby! I'm looking forward to this much more than the Fire Emblem Warriors game. Then I saw the fact it isn't confirmed for NA, but you restored my faith in the gaming gods!

Why does she sound like she pinched one off after saying Nintendo Switch at the end of the video?

Loved the first one and I'm keen on getting the sequel make this a launch game and I'm sold.

@KappaBeta Haven't played but I watched so let's plays. The games look pretty good.

I might bite since it's 2 in 1 games and I love DQ games but Im not a Warrior's fan. Someone help me solve my first world problems

@Arnold-Kage I think they're a little more extensive, there are abilities from what I recall, you can capture monsters and have them join your side. The second game is a bit more open-worldy.

NA?
Ah well I'll import since the NS is REGION FREE!

@Octane

Well that is not a bad thing in my book just wanted to know what i should compare it with

Well that's unfortunate

still too much focused on japan. i mysefl am a huge DQ fan but objectively what are the good news of these conf for launch day?

Zelda is a WiiU game long time awaited its presence at launch is the far least minimum..

I was always hoping for Xbox One versions of these, but Switch is also very nice

so it is pretty much going to be a 1-4 year wait.

But there is no region lock.

This isn't coming to the US? It got thrown in there with 10 and 11 in Japan. I would prefer Builders to Heroes, though.

@Arnold-Kage The King Hydra can be beaten in the same way as the King Dodongos of Hyrule. Just substitute actual bombs with Bomboulders!

@Arnold-Kage Yeah, it's similar to Hyrule Warriors if that's all you wanted to know. Most of their games are, at least the games that are made by that team.

@Captain_Gonru you can still buy it for the switch regardless if it comes here or not.switch is region free

Nintendo has always been really good at blocking content that is Japan only. I think if they didn't have plans for it to come over to the west they would have just tossed it in a press release like they did half of the other games that are coming out. And if not, at least the system is region free.

@Octane & @YoshiAngemon

Thanks for the info guys

It's already listed on Bestbuy's NA site, for what it's worth.

I was going to buy a PS4 almost just for these games.

If and when they get localized, then I won't need to anymore.

I haven't played many Musou/Dynasty Warriors games, but I did play a fair amount of Hyrule Warriors DQ Heroes 1.

They play similarly, but I liked Dragon Quest more. The enemies were more diverse. The playable characters had more interesting spells. I like the art style more. And I liked DQ's mission structures more (I wasn't a huge fan of how Hyrule Warriors was so focused on taking keeps by killing a bunch of guys in each room until a boss showed up).

I liked both. They're dumb, button-mashy, repetitive games.

Side note: I wasn't sure if I should get the PS4 or Vita version of DQH2...now I don't have to decide.

Don't see why these wouldn't be localized when the PS4 versions have been/are being localized.

I'm interested in this game, but am in no rush to play it. I'm assuming this is coming out overseas, and in such a case, I will probably add this to my Christmas list. It looks fun, but other Switch games I've seen are a priority.

@Bobb From what I've heard on steam, people have said the pc version is just a straight up port of the ps4 console with some minor changes to help in someways.

Dragon Quest Heroes I+II !!!!!!
Dragon Quest X !!!!!!
Dragon Quest XI !!!!
...
...
...
for Japan

I wish this was Dragon Quest Builders instead - I've been having a ridiculously fun time with that one on PS4.

Sadly, as big as a DQ fan as I am, I just have zero interest in Musou games.

Confirmation of it for the West would be nice.

The fact that DQ Heroes is already localized and DQ Heroes 2 has been announced for localization on PS4 means that there is a good chance of this game coming west for Switch as well.

Great news for me that Switch is region free! So i can buy it from every where lol.
So hyped for the Switch

This better come to NA.

Importing this ASAP.

@Tsurii "28th you say? That's the same day as Mario Kart Deluxe"

Yeah, its like out of the blue we now have to fill in our calendars w/ release dates. Not that there are a lot of dates, but way more than Wii U had. I just got a PS4 for Christmas so I'm still figuring out all of those dates myself. Not to many on there either, but a lot of games waiting for dates. E3 this year should actually be good.

No Final fantasy's, of course!

@Nintendo_Ninja it doesn't have to. No region locking!

Not a huge fan of the Dynasty Warriors style gameplay, or of DQ, but, I much appreciate the value presented in this package. Might just pick it up on a sale.

I loved the first game and was eagerly waiting for the 2nd one. I am over the moon that Square Enix decided to release this double pack. This and Fire Emblem Warriors are a dream come true for me. Now, what are the chances of a Hyrule Warriors 2.

@KappaBeta it's pretty good if you like Dynasty Warriors style gameplay. Unfortunately, the second one has yet to release in North America.

if this come west that's another sale here

but if not then include the english text and voices on the Japanese cart and we can import it with the Switch being Region Free and all (about time Nintendo)

@KappaBeta I have the PC and PS4 games and this looks the same to me. I'm not watching on the best screen right now (half my stuff is in storage) so i can't say if it looks better, but it doesn't look worse to me. looks like the same amount of characters on screen as well.

There really shouldn't be a long wait for this version of the game. Dragon Quest Heroes 1 came out a while back while Heroes 2 is coming to the Japanese Switch at launch and the US on other consoles this April. There's really no reason for it to come much later than that.
