Square Enix reveals Dragon Quest IV US release date, confirms V and VI releases

The first official news is out regarding a North American release for Dragon Quest IV, in the form of the official website. The site doesn't have much information up about the game -- except its release date, September 16. English screens and stuff can come later!

The real news is on the new Dragon Quest series site, which shows pretty unambiguously that the Dragon Quest V and VI remakes are on the way as well, with matching alliterative subtitles (Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie). This will be the first U.S. release for these two games (IV was released on the NES) and their availability will mean that, for the first time since IV, every main Dragon Quest game has had a U.S. release.

So maybe there really is hope for a DS remake of the greatest spin-off, Torneko: The Last Hope?

Awesome, I can't wait!

I will buy all of these at full price. I love DQ that much.

Oh my goodness, this just made my day. MY WEEK.

I've waited quite some time for this.

A lot of people seem to get down on Dragon Quest for it's ancient mechanics, but that's pretty much the appeal. I -like- getting lost in a nice, familiar type of game. It relaxes me so nicely. Dragon Quest games have also been just good at making fun worlds that I want to spend time wandering around in.

It's official Square-Enix owns my paycheck with a little space for mgs4 and the new megaman it has just dictated where my gaming money goes, now if they only throw some info on Final Fantasy XIII and Dragon Quest IX
