If you're looking to capture the magic of those halcyon days of sitting in front of the CRT with a classic RPG, then Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which launches tomorrow — 14th November 2024 — on Switch and other systems, might be just the tonic you need.

Reviews for the HD-2D remake of the NES's Dragon Warrior III have dropped today, and they're very positive across the board. It manages to recreate the feel of the original game while adding some beautiful visuals, music, and a handful of quality-of-life features to the experience.

We're among those positive reviews here at Nintendo Life, awarding the game an 8/10. And even with performance issues on Switch, "this is a faithful adaptation of a treasured RPG classic that elevates its strongest aspects while doing its best to make up for any shortcomings".
