Just discovered through this that the DS Dragon Quest games are being ported to iOS and Android.
Rise of Mana, coming to the Vita from smartphones is pretty crap from what I played of it on my own phone though. I kinda pity Vita gamers :/ (though this probably won't even come out of Japan anyway, so whether it be good or not it wouldn't make a huge difference in the west). When will we finally see a true new episode in this franchise that cuts the crap and goes back to basics? Is it asking too much? Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 were all awesome. Sword of Mana was just all right, could have used a multiplayer system, and the amigo system was just crap. Anything else in this long series is just millions of miles from the true greatness of the original titles in the series. And that's just a shame. It shouldn't be too complicated with the tech of today to make lush hand drawn locales and tie it with a great story and awesome multiplayer like on the SNES, just much bigger and more beautiful ??
