Dragon Quest Heroes I•II (Switch)

Having never played a Dragon Quest game before, should I pick this up, or wait for Dragon Quest X or XI ?

DQ1 + 2 are NES games as far as I know. Lots of gameplay to find on youtube. Watch and decide by yourself.

They're on GBC as well.

Dragon Quest Heroes are not the original DQ I & II, but Dragon Quest x Dynasty Warriors crossovers, much like Hyrule Warriors was with Zelda. The first one is out in English on PS4, so there's lots of footage and reviews out there already. I've played it a bit and it's quite good. Excellent voice acting, gorgeous graphics, and honestly better level design (imo) than Hyrule Warriors had.

Original DQ trilogy available on iOS. That's how I've caught up with them.

i hope this comes to the west (eu)
