This... is DQNN

Welcome to DQNN, the Dragon Quest News Network. I'm slimequest, and here are today's headlines.

Dragon Quest IX announced for North America, to be published by Nintendo! This could be helpful in DQ's popularization over here in the backwards West, but I'm hoping Nintendo will let Square-Enix handle the translation and all that. Better not censor my puff-puffs, either!

Still no word yet on Dragon Quest VI DS's North American release date, but with the announcement of DQIX it's almost a certainty.

DQ Translations has released an English patch for the PS2 version of Dragon Quest V! You'll need some way to play PS2 backups in order to enjoy this, but it's definitely a fine translation effort. I still say support DQ in North America by buying the DS version, but it's nice to now be able to play all three versions in English!

In case you weren't aware, The SNES versions of Dragon Quest I & II, as well as Dragon Quest III, are now translated as well! These are the prettiest versions of said games so far, unless you count the gorgeous-looking but completely unattainable mobile phone versions of them which are now out in Japan. Give us a DQ I-III Loto Trilogy on DS, please!

And finally, don't forget about DQ spinoff games, including DQ Monsters: Caravan Heart and Taloon's Great Adventure, which both have translations done as well.

Thank you, goodnight, and don't forget to save. Stay tuned for slime tossing and bunnygirl curling, two olympic events Alefgard is sure to get gold in.
