According to Wikipedia its not true...
Dragon Quest III sold over 3.8 million copies in Japan.[22] It is often mistakenly known as being the game that caused in 1988 the Japanese government to outlaw further releases of Dragon Quest games on school days, a law still in effect today. In truth, Enix themselves also decided to hold off the release of future Dragon Quest games until weekends.

So they just changed it because they got mass complaints.
Also someone threatened to kill someone else over it.
