Gaming Dragon Quest on DS?

[Another World]

the bricker won't do all that much to the lite, the later firmware revisions protected against it. as far as i know it doesn't do anything to the dsi or 3ds.

if you are scared about it, dslazy has a ds bricker scanner.

I also heard that moonshell scans NDS files before it loads them
So if it is a bricker
It will refuse to run it

Or I can run it in an emulator

i've never heard that. that's interesting. i'll have to research that more.

One thing you should know before you start playing a Dragon Quest game is that the series hasn't changed much since the NES days. The increased power of today's systems allows for better graphics and longer storylines, and the English localizations have definitely improved, but at their heart, the Dragon Quest games of today are much the same beast as the NES Dragon Warrior games; the combat system is that of a fairly standard turn-based JRPG, and plotlines tend to be fairly standard "chosen hero saves the world" fare.

Most of what makes recent entries to the series stand out from other JRPGs is that Dragon Quest has a sense of humor. Storylines are lighthearted and characters crack jokes (or are the butt of running jokes, such as Yangus and Trode in DQ8). The characters and monsters are designed by Akira Toriyama (well, they always have been, but it's become much more apparent since Dragon Quest 8), and tend to look silly, or have some rather unusual attacks. For example, Witches have the Puff-Puff skill. If you don't know what that is, look it up. And then laugh at the hilarious mental image, and the fact that they will frequently use the attack on your female party members.

Also all of the town names are puns.
One thing that's different from the NES games, though. There isn't nearly as much exploration in DQIX as there was in DQII.

If you care to brave japanese language, there is a better version of Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2. Its the Pro version, and completely playable without being able to read (J) language.

And if you plan on buying a 3DS, Terry's Wonderland will be coming. Its a 3DS remake of the original Dragon Warrior Monsters for GBC (possibly one of the BEST games for GBC ever). Hopefully it will make it over to the states...or i will murder families.

Seriously!? They're remaking DWM on the 3DS? Now I'm excited. They better bring it over, or they'll have a lot of bawwing on their hands.

Ah, that was posted while I was gone. The game looks just plain awesome, and I'll be d@mned if they don't bring it over. Or rather, they'll be d@mned.

I'l be damned if they do bring it over.

GO AWAY NEGATIVITY

Tell me about it. DWM is only my favorite game ever, and im basing my decision whether i get a US 3DS or if i have to import one and learn japanese to play games.

 

[linuxdude2]

I do not plan on ever buying a Nintendo console again since their last good consoles were the Wii and Nintendo DS Lite. Starting with the DSi, fail!!!

Wow. ok, well in that case, get a GBC emulator for your DS and do yourself the pleasure of playing the original DWM. I think you can play DW1&2, and well as 3 while you are in the GBC kindgom.
