Dragon Quest XI appears as Definitive Edition. On Switch: Extra content, orchestrated soundtrack, 16Bit mode. On Switch lite: Same

for the "PS4" appears only the normal/non-definitive without better content/music (no 16Bit mode!)

Release: This Friday. And Definitive (with completely new story/characters) is exclusive/available on Nintendo Switch. i saw it yesterday for only 59,99 euro (demo available) :D

I see what you did there.

Well played OT, well played. 

This goes over my head, is this a reference to another post that I missed saying the same about a PS4 version?

I think the switch is also the only console who got the first three DQ games? Will they port all DQ games?

I definitely would love that, as I love old-schoolturn-based RPGs.

It seems in Japan 1-3 were released on 3DS/PS4 in 2017. But WW Switch is the only recent console to get them. It wouldn't surprise me if more of the Dragon Quest games are released on Switch, after the Final Fantasy splurge we just had.

Well, Switch still has not a single pre-7 Final Fantasy. A while back I fantazised about remaking the first six in the style of Octopath Traveler. That would be awesome. Please Square.

That would be pretty rad. While I have mixed feelings about Octopath so far, I just love the art style. And FFVI is the one in the series I want to try most outside of X, so it'd be great to be able to play that on Switch at least in some form, but an Octopath-style revamp would pretty awesome. I do have an SNES Classic but it'd be sweeter to play it on the go too.

I have already played DQ11 about a year ago, on the ps4. I just stopped in to say anybody who hasn't played it should. The game is stellar. Modern graphics with old school rpg charm. I thought DQ11 was the finest jpg I have played in a decade. It isn't filled with overly nonsensical story elements. Just a straight forward great story with memorable characters and great battle system.

I started the demo last night and before I knew it I was 5 hours in (this is my first dragonquest since 8 as i skipped the ds and 3ds games/remakes) I will definitely use my last voucher on this

It's a straight-forward reference to the recent Ni No Kuni thread with its gloating that the PS4 receives a remastered version while the Switch gets a straight port of the PS3 game.

Regarding the games, Ni No Kuni is quite a flawed JRPG while Dragon Quest XI has a rather stellar reputation. Remastered or not, I don't think many Switch owners would give a damn about Ni No Kuni, especially in such close proximity to Dragon Quest XI and with both games costing the same.

If you want to engage in conspiracy theories, Ni No Kuni for Switch has all the ingredients for a game that was set up to fail because its publisher wants to bathe in confirmation bias.

Ah, yeah I never saw that as I couldn't care less about Ni No Kuni and hence had to reason to visit a thread about it.

DQ11 isn't my cup of tea, but at least it has relevance in that it's probably the most substantial third party effort on Switch to date outside of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

Btw, does anyone know how this has been tracking in preorders, is it headed for a decent opening?

All I know is that it's ranking 4th on the Amazon best sellers list for Switch games but other than that there not much to go on. It's DQ so don't hold on to any false hopes.

SE calls this version a remake, not a port.
