Reddit reviews Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation - Nintendo DS

Dragon Quest VI on Amazon - $39 USD

Good find. Wish Argos would ship to the U.S.

Used copies, but still far less than $125. Though, I'd suggest checking a few physical game stop locations nearby. I often find rare gems in the DS/GBA cases they have.

I would like a complete in box copy of Dragon Quest VI, around $40-60.

Also, congrats on your trade! :)

Not certain why you received a downvote.

Short of a miracle, emulator is just about the only way you're going to play Dragon Warrior I-IV.

While there's a handheld remake for IV(on DS) most of them haven't seen a remake/re-release.

I'll add Dragon Quest V(on DS) and Dragon Quest VI(on DS) as well.

I honestly prefer the fan translations on those two, though.

There was also an anime series done relating(roughly) to the story of Dragon Quest/Warrior III. It aired very briefly in Canada when I was little. Think I only caught the first ~4 episodes, if that.

Its a turn based JRPG. You really dont have any twitch movement, fast reactions or anything the sort you really just got to not press the wrong thing with your finger. Plus the controls are literally move your character tap a menu when needed its not that hard.

The big thing here is say what you want about mobile gaming control wise in the case of DQ1-3 the mobile versions 1 + 2 are the most recent versions with the most recent translations since no one outside of japan got the redid SNES version. Then you have the fact that the redid fan translated snes version of the dual pack is straight up buggy (there was a run literally a couple weeks ago where he was playing DQ2 then the game literally just turned into DQ1 with DQ2 mechanics mid playthrough). In the case of DQ3 its debateable but you lose a bit of content on that one (mini medals and something else), but you have a recent translation, an updated difficulty curve to make the game less of a grind fest, an orchestrated soundtrack, and a higher resolution than your other option which is once again a fan translated rom or the literal NES/GBC version.

​

In the case of the game he said though its not even debatable. You get literally the same exact game as the DS versions at a higher resolution with nothing lost visually (the ds split the screens vertically just like the mobile versions except the mobile versions arent broken in the middle) and it doesn't cost an arm or a leg. And by arm or a leg I mean DQVI the game they are saying is better on ds is the same exact experience extra content and all but its 150$ new and 90$ used. DQIV less content on DS since the mobile version has Party Chat.

​

DQ2 on mobile is also tuned thighter to make it less like an old school rpg in terms of balance since the games are all kind of grindy. DQ3 imo is better with the translated version since i like mini medals and the monster animations but even then I can sit here and say oh it doesn't matter if you play this over mobile, it does you lose so much in the process plus you lose the most up to date translated version.

​

Then on top of that the port themselves of all these games are amazing. You can tell they put care into how the controls work, how the graphics look, etc etc when comparing it to...lets say...the mobile chrono trigger port which has control issues.

​

Im most cases imo you really just cant do better than the mobile versions when the alternative is either paying over 100 bucks for a copy, losing content/having a worse translation, having the old school (read annoying) snes difficulty curve, etc. Really DQV and DQIV are the only ones where you can play and have largely the same experience on either versions but DQV is still cheaper on mobile (cost just as much as it did when it came out new/damn near 100$ in EU) or you lost party chat in DQIV.

You lose all of this because you dont want physical buttons.....you really have to just have a vendetta against mobile for no reason at that point.

​

EDIT: I kept calling Monster Medals Mini Medals T_T

No, that's not the case. This is the price for DQ6 when just searching for it, but from the sale page it is $35 and remains so after clicking on the link. Of course this is just one example, but I am sure others could find further examples.
