    finally some good fricking Pokemon challenger. hope it does well

  2. Terribleirishluck

    It’s neat that one of the dragon quest hero is gonna appear, I wasn’t expecting that

  3. HarkyESP

    This is absolutely huge. When SE announced this in that anniversary video, I expected it wouldn’t come until 2025 at least. You guys have to give this a chance, the DS games were godlike

  4. I hope it stays somewhat true to the originals on the gameboy

  5. Super_DAC

    A must-have for anyone looking for a different kind of Pokémon experience

  6. ChedduhBob

    dragon quest monsters 1 is so fucking fun and holds up. can’t wait for this

  7. Top_Investment_3370

    A prequel to Dragon Quest IV starring the main villain as a teenager was not on my bingo card today. Either that or it’s his son? Maybe???

  8. DontFearTheDunkin

    This was one of the best parts about this banger of a Direct. I am so ecstatic that we’re getting another DQ Monsters game here in the west. I will be playing this game so hard when December rolls around.

    DRAGON QUEST FANS RISE UP WE EATING

  10. foxhound012

    Is this something like the ds games? I loved playing joker as a kid

  11. Jamesifer

    I still hold out hope that DQIX gets a remake/remaster. That was second only to Pokemon Diamond in my childhood, I’d love to revisit it.

  12. Vehicle-Mountain

    That looked… bad. Much worse than Pokemon Scarlet/Violet in terms of bland environments.

  13. flclreddit

    I’ll definitely try it out, especially if SE made it. Dragon Warrior Monsters 1+2 were legendary but much less popular outside of Japan, overshadowed by pokemon. They’re great games, hoping this one is solid.

    Good to have an actual release date to look forward to, instead of the nebulous details around the DQIII remake.

  14. Johnboy_245

    This is basically a dragon quest pokemon game.

  15. Odd-Conversation1208

    A new Dragon Quest Monsters; DQ fans have been eating good.

  16. OtherwordPineapple

    Does anyone know how many monsters or variants that they have in these game?

  17. Donny_Canceliano

    Is this what they’ve been teasing with the anniversary thing?

  18. Taythekid950

    Omg new dq monsters can’t wait the 2 on ds are fantastic.

  19. Holy shit, I didn’t expect this game so soon !

    Also it looks like we’re playing as Psaro, the vilain from DQ4, and the antagonnist will be Solo, the hero of DQ4. I really like this.

  20. Mogget24

    But… Will it be jp only? Is it written anywhere? As the tweet in the link is in Japanese…

  21. erin_silverio

    Boardroom meeting for this game:

    “We need a new game”

    “Alright. Let’s take Pokemon Infinite Fusion, but turn it into Dragon Quest.”

  22. restlesswrestler

    Give us GBC mechanics! I want to throw sirloin!

  23. Donny_Canceliano

    See Treasures? All you had to do to make me play it is have the main character not look like a chump 🤷🏽‍♂️

  24. Itzmisterjoel

    If I understand it, it looked like u could “merge” monsters together? Or am I mistaken

  25. ActorWriter24

    Now bring the original to the switch you cowards!

  26. WholesomeBobsDayJob

    What’s the deal with the performance here? The framerate in this trailer looks abysmal.

  27. a_stoned_goat

    I LOVED Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 and haven’t played many other DQ games. But if this is anything like DWM, I’m gonna HAVE to get this.

  28. AgentUpvote

    End of this year is going to be busy as fuck for gaming.

    Can’t wait for DQM3, Dragon quest monsters series is my all time favorite.

    Super Mario RPG first then DQM3… STACKED

  29. CeliLuci

    Is this a remake or new game? I loved DQB2 and found DQ: Treasures so so. How similar/different will these be from these two? If remake, I think I’ll pass and hope for DQB3 or DQ12.

  30. Andromansis

    This broke my brain for a minute.

    Because Dragon Quest Monsters 3 was Caravan Hearts on the gameboy color or GBA, and they never ported it to the US.

    Then they relaunched the series as Dragon Quest Monsters Joker. And Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 3 was probably the most fun you could have with a 3ds and they never ported it to the US.

    Now we get this, the 3rd dragon quest monsters 3. I’d bet a shiny nickel they never port it to English.

  31. Walks_with_Chaos

    It’s a port of an old Japanese only game which is why it looks like this.

    As a DQ fan I’m very happy for it, regardless

  32. Not the biggest fan of DQ main line series, but I must say that I LOVE their spin offs! Happy for this one! Played theDS games recently and loved them

  33. StonedOtter0_0

    Never played a dragon quest game, but I’m eager to dive into this one!

  34. Pronoia4

    Dragon warrior monsters was my religion for a bit as a kid. Had to convert all my Pokémon friends. Love both series, but always felt sad this series didn’t get the same kind of fan base. Real excited to give it a go, especially after playing more dragon quest games in the intervening years.

  35. Keirabella999

    This art is really killing the game for me. I have grown fond of the monster collection genre over the past few years and this title just looks like a step backwards.

    Plenty of other games to play I suppose.
