GBAtemp Recommends #059: Dragon Quest Monsters

[KiTA]

I can't say I want the remake to make it over here, honestly. Joker was pretty bad and I only managed to play about 45 minutes of Joker 2 before giving up in disgust. As far as I'm aware DQM 3D is basically the original game's story ported over to a slightly upgraded version of the Joker engine, and the story wasn't the reason anyone was interested in the game as far as I'm aware.

Yes and no. It uses Joker 2's graphics engine, including visible encounters on the map, but uses DQM1's random world (roguelike) design elements. Breeding is a hybird of Joker2 and DQM1, with Joker2Pro's "Perfect" system (localized as X and XY) that lets you use any monster all the way to endgame by just ranking it up.

The huge thing about DQMTW3DS is it's Nintendo WFC stuff. The game has an absolute tun of online components, including DQM Joker 2 Pro's online tourneys and random netplay and whatnot.

With DQ7's 3DS remake having DQM2's "Key" random world generator built into it, it's likely we're going to see a 3DS remake of DQM2 soon, too.
