We already knew Square-Enix top dog Yoichi Wada wuvs handheld gaming so much that he and his subordinates brought Dragon Quest IX to the Nintendo DS. But word from the latest issue of Shonen Jump shows that Wada are hankering to print their own money, as Square-Enix will release full 3D remakes of Dragon Quest IV, Dragon Quest V and Dragon Quest VI—originally released for the Famicom and Super Famicom—for the Nintendo DS, with dates as yet unspecified.
Dragon Quests IV and V were already remade into 3D and released for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, respectively. DQ VI never saw a release outside of its native Japan. Regardless of who released what, where and when, these three money making opportunities are going to net Squeenix some serious yen.
As a fan, all I can say is "thank God." Finally, someone at Square-Enix had the brass balls to stand up to management and demand that they dip into their back catalog. A bold, bold maneuver, but it seems like it might just pay dividends. This man deserves a medal.
