Confirmed remakes: Dragon Quest IV, V, and VI for Nintendo DS

Three is a magic number. While Square Enix got heads rolling with the Final Fantasy III remake, plus the incoming Final Fantasy IV, the RPG-remake era of the Nintendo DS isn’t over just yet. Man, it’s sooo far from over. Because hailing from the sunny and sushi-loving shores of Japan are scans of the latest Shonen Jump magazine.

The scans confirm not one, not two, not even two and seven-tenth games to be remade. THREE individual remakes of Dragon Quest games are now on the queue! More specifically Dragon Quest IV (from the NES), Dragon Quest V (Super Famicom), and Dragon Quest VI (Super Famicom) are now all scheduled to come out for the DS.

Well, considering that it’s a package deal, some of you guys might remember that these three games are part of what some would dub as the Zenithia trilogy – all revolving around the castle in the sky (no to be confused with Hayao Miyazaki’s movie).

Check out the scans below, they’ve even got some screens posted up:

 

So how many DQ games are/will be on the DS now? Man, I’ve lost count. The release dates for the IV, V, and VI remakes aren’t given, but this confirmation has – on a personal note – officially extended my life expectancy of my very own DS Lite. Woohoo!
