Dragon Quest 7 & 8 3DS Officially Confirmed For The West In 2016

You already know Nintendo destroyed expectations with their first Nintendo Direct in months, but here’s a tidbit that you may have missed that shocked the fans who were most invested in it.

Dragon Quest 7: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and Dragon Quest 8 Journey of the Cursed King have been officially confirmed to be coming to the West for Nintendo 3DS in 2016.

This can only be a relief toDragon Quest fans, who have been hankering for the 3DS ports of these games to come stateside for months. Dragon Quest 8 is the bigger crown jewel of the two, as it was originally made only for the PlayStation 2, as the odd game that left Nintendo exclusivity within its era.

Dragon Quest has danced between Sony’s and Nintendo’s platforms, but Nintendo has received more of the love through the years. With these new Dragon Quest remakes coming to the West, Square Enix is set to revive fandom from Nintendo fans.
