I really hope this does well. It'd be terrible for Japanese third party Switch support if it didn't, they're already doing a crappy job of supporting the system and if a franchise as big as Dragon Quest sells poorly so many could look at that and say "hey if DQ can't sell, why even bother?"

Never mind that it's 2 years late an already sold millions on 3DS/PS4, it'll still be held up as a sign that third parties shouldn't make Switch games.

Except the majority of Japanese consumers will own a Switch which makes it impossible for DQ games to skip the system considering that's where 90% of sales are it's the same reason that 3DS got a version of DQXI despite the developer wanting to do a console game as the userbase was too big to ignore DQ always lands on the most successful platform in Japan that's something Horii has in place and can't be challenged.
