Good news and bad news all rolled into one. Now we have more remakes to look forward to. Nintendo might do Ocarina of Time And Again.

That also can be good news, if the remakes are from selected games that have not received a release in a few years it can have a very positive effect for the gamers and the developers.

I see no wrong with remakes if they're justified. DQ VII is more than justified and it really helps round out the efforts made into redoing IV, V, and VI on DS. I'd hope they do the same for the first 3 DQs.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Fixed to reflect one possible reason this could be good news and better news rolled into one.

Glad to hear it's doing well. If it shipped that much in 2 days it's fairly easy to say it'll have sold at least 750k in the week.

OOT is already on 3DS haha.

What this proves is people want RPG DQ not MMO DQ.

No. This proves that most devs no longer are capable of making great JRPG games.

How so? Japanese devs Level 5, Intelligent Systems, Capcom, Namco, Monlithsoft, Mistwalker, Atlus, and Chunsoft all have released some fairly fantastic RPGs recently.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
