A New Dragon Quest Monsters Game Is Now In Development For Switch

Awesome. Always liked some DQM.

Wonderful news for all DQ fans. Rejoice.

I'm all for some 'mon collecting. I haven't played the previous Monsters games. I loved Builders (I wish they'd work on a third entry) but DQ treasures really disappointed me despite it being something that I should have loved in theory, maybe they will be able to win back my trust with this.

Dragon Warrior Monsters was such an amazing game. I loved it more than Pokémon and I am quite excited to revisit the series

Hopefully with better music this time

Still hoping for Dragon Quest Builders III.

Square Enix games still coming to Nintendo systems is very promising. It honestly looked like the already announced Infinity Strash, Front Mission 2 and 3 was the end.

I really hope the new DQM game will get PS4 / PS5 version in the future.
I want the 60fps performance on PS4 / PS5 machines than 30fps on Switch.

Nice, played the original back on GBC and it was pretty fun. Still remember the "Dark Drium" mistranslation.

We are all slimes on this blessed day

Builders 3 please

YES!!! Finally!!! This is brilliant news, been waiting on this forever. I absolutely love these games but the hardware has always kinda held them back a bit. I wonder if this is going to be DQM or will to back to Joker naming or Warrior naming? Good news looks like it will come to west because why bother putting English subtitles on it it was JP only? Excited! I really hope it's another massive open world with plenty to do in it, with battles better then Pokémon, loads of things to do, a really big collection of monsters, transfer systems, riding systems again and ofc...fusion/eggs! Ok the switch isn't a PS5 but looking at how good TOTK is it had a high bar to meet. Keeping a keen eye on this!

Yes I would love a new Dragon Quest Monsters game, I feel those are way better than Pokemon.

I'm sure that will please DW fans. Hope you guys enjoy.

Awesome news! This'll please my brother- been waiting for a new DQM for a long time.

Neat! DQ feels most at home on Nintendo, I hope Enix's division still continues to support the platform even if Square's half and Final Fantasy have largely strayed away

Welcome news. I've been wanting to try this spinoff series for awhile now. Unfortunately the entries that were localized are quite pricey or not easily accessible now, and I don't want to fiddle around with translation patches and whatnot with the games that never migrated from Japan.

Now THIS is the announcement, kids.

…and still no Dragon Quest III 2D-HD news. 🙁

@ComfyAko What was wrong with it? Sounds fine for a GB game

DQM Joker 1 & 2 are two of my all-time favorite games! Can’t wait for this game!

I may give it a try, but I really want Builders 3!

@PinderSchloss DQ overally has very poor music, I was referring to that

Never played a Monsters game in the series but I absolutely love Dragon Quest so this does peak my interest.

Can't wait for it to not release in English

Oh hell yes! The two original game boy games were my jam as a kid.

@Anti-Matter all your posts say you require 60fps so you will go for the PS versions, so why are you posting on a Switch site? Your expectations are far too high! 🤣 Appreciate the Switch for what it is, a fantastic console/handheld hybrid

I loved DQM, possibly more than Pokémon but it aged badly and got superceded by other games. They should've carried on updating this quality game, the mechanics were way ahead of their time

Good, it's been quite a while. That said, I really need to get back to finishing the last couple. DQ has always been really bad about letting go of that old-school time-wasting grind, and the monsters games are no exception.

@antisumo
I have quite experienced with downgraded quality from the same games on Switch version compared with PS4 version so after more than 5 years playing Switch, I started to feel disappointed to see the next upcoming 3rd party multi console games are mostly got downgraded quality than the PS4 / PS5 version and at some point, I don't want to pick half baked games anymore.

The reason I posted my comment about getting PS4 / PS5 version on Nintendolife when talking about Switch games, that because if the games have PS4 / PS5 version as well, the trailer I watched from Nintendolife will be my skipping stones to get better version.
So it was like information for me about upcoming games that will be released on multi consoles including Switch.

But since I started to feel disappointed with Switch currently, my priority has been shifted to find PS4 / PS5 version so whenever I find trailer about 3rd party games, I will hoping the PS4 / PS5 version as my skipping stones.
If the games are exclusively on Switch, I will pick them.
But if once the games suddenly get ported to PS4 / PS5, I will jump to those version since I want better version as I have experienced from SoS Pioneers of Olive Town, the Switch version was terrible with lots of bugs and patches + 30 fps, while the PS4 version was better than Switch version with 60 fps, already fixed to latest version.

Noice. But I haven’t cracked the cellophane on DQM3JP. I need free time!!!!

This is all good, but Im still waiting for them to release Dragon Quest Builders 3.

I'll buy every spinoff I have to in order to convince Square Enix to make Dragon Quest Builders 3 and Dragon Quest Heroes 3.

I am actually kind of excited about this. I am torn on what console to purchase it for though. Hopefully it is coming to other platforms.

If they wanna bring back Rocket Slime as well I won’t say no.

Hope it comes west.

Yes, perfect! Been waiting a long time for this.
Loved dragonquest Joker. Please dont dissapoint!

2 new Dragon Quest games?! Ah, good day to be a fan. Still want that sweet DQIII remake announced soon.

May sound silly, but I’d love a new Dragon Quest Wars for Switch. Crushed that one on 3DS back when, and now it’s lost to time. Bit too niche even for a remaster I think though. Despite its cult following.

So far I've only played DQM Joker 2, I could use more DQM in my life. This better be localized, unlike Dragon Quest Heroes I-II.

Loved the Joker games back in the day. So this is awesome to hear!
