Dragon Fantasy: The Volumes of Westeria Adventuring to 3DS and Wii U This Year

Looks interesting

Hm...were the two games any good? Because I am a little interested.

I want to see some screens of the updated version. That trailer looked good, but the battle enemy designs were a bit off, something I'd expect to get touched up in the redux.

I am interested in the game, but not the satire. Most of that sort of humor runs thin quickly for me.

Love the old-school look of games like the first Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior. Plus the humor of a game like Earthbound? Awesome!

I almost got this game on PSN, but now I'm kinda glad I missed the sale. Will it have cross-buy like OlliOlli?

Yes, I played this game on my Vita, and I really enjoyed it. Just to show my support for this company thinking of Nintendo fans, I will also buy both the Wii U and 3DS versions. Unlike Square Enix, who won't localize most of their games for us.

Loved this game on my iPod, pretty sure that's the same one, I'm getting this for Wii U because it's so Earthbound-like and I feel like it belongs on the home console. Of course, if cross-buy is an option, I won't complain, lol.

@DiscoGentleman Absolutely! This is definitely on my eshop wishlist!

3DS Eshop. Consider me intrigued.

I could use some more retro RPG's on my 3ds - Count me in

Piqued my interest.

3DS version for me thanks

@Ninty4thewin They changed their names to Choice Provisions

@NintendoFan64

I have them both but only played the first so far. I loved it though. The second one looks like it may be better. I am getting this fo sho.

@JWFinnegan agreed!! Square enix gonna miss out on $$$ cause for whatever reason they don't feel the need to bring all those awesome RPGs stateside that they posted on the wii u in japan!! Unreal

@Windy I'll be getting it for my Wii U! I actually have a wireless amplifier that boosts my wireless range to around 3,500 ft in other words I can hang out at the strip mall across the street and play Wii U!

The shocked look I get when my local Gamestop employees see me actually playing my Wii U from my Wii U Gamepad in their shop is priceless! xD

God, I'm so sick that all "indie" games are retro rpg pixelated otaku sleeping pills or medicore "witty" "metroidvenias" full of puzzles! why no making more fun arcade games?! oh right...most of these losers just want to be "artistic" and "creative".

@minotaurgamer Uh...there aren't all that many indie RPG's on the Wii U and 3DS...though I do agree to a certain extent regarding the metroidvania craze that's been going on lately.

This is most welcome news. Too much eshop filler. We need more conscious efforts, thanks.

@joey302 I have an idea as to why Square Enix won't bring their games stateside, and it isn't very smart of them. Instead of putting the money they get from the Japanese sales of their games into localizing them, they just put that money directly into developing the graphics for FF XV. While they are doing this, they are hovering on the edge of total bankruptcy.

I saw an article where a developer at SE has said that they need FF XV to succeed or they likely won't be able to continue making console games anymore, which I'm guessing means they would move exclusively to mobile if that happens. Which I think is a stupid way of running their business. Spending so much money on one game that if it flops, it'll tank their entire company. Considering the hype for this game, I have no doubt it will sell a ton of copies, but will it meet their sales projects? (Despite the hype, there is also some skepticism as well.) One thing to keep in mind, is that the more money they spend on developing the game, it has to sell even more copies for it to make a profit or even just break even. I wonder how many copies it has to sell in order to be considered a success. 20 million? 25 million? I have no idea, but I think the number they have to meet is extremely high, when they spent so much.

My idea could be wrong, but this is what I think.

This game has solid reviews for the Vita and I was tempted to get but never did looks like I'm going to for sure now.

Dragon Quest + Final Fantasy - Quest & Final = Dragon Fantasy. Looks interesting, hope it turns out good for the 3DS and Wii U.

@minotaurgamer

I understand where you are coming from and actually agree to an extent, although I welcome the Metroid and Castlevania inspired titles because every once in a while we get a gem...but this game isn't that. It isn't just some huge studio masquerading a big budget title as "indie" it is indie and is definitely worth a look if you enjoyed rpgs from the 8 and 16 bit era.

Looks more like Dragon Quest than Final Fantasy.
@JWFinnegan But think of how perfect it will be when all the media outlets can have headlines like "Quite Literally the Final Fantasy!"

@JWFinnega hmmm! Only thing that don't make sense though is a lot of those RPGs were already localized from years ago! No excuse!! They should be here!! I'll of course excuse the games that were never translated to English in the first place. Also, the other thing is square now wholly owns Taito and all it's classic games like of course space invaders, bubble bobble, Qix, rainbow islands, jungle hunt, Darius twin, and soooo many others!! And also square has posted a few of these on Japan's wii u as well!! Very very frustrating!! I think it would only help square $$$ wise to get them over here ASAP!! Can't hurt!

If there's crossbuy, I'm interested.

@JWFinnegan I don't understand why with advanced planning they cannot do the localisation at the same time as the original Japanese release. The numbers don't make sense if something like DQIX is compared to anything else the better game sold better.

play/beat both on the vita. really good old school rpg. might buy it again in the Wii U , have to see what they change in it.
