The orignal Dragon Quest games are coming to Switch

Square Enix announced this in the Japan Direct recently, but the original three Dragon Quest games will soon be out in the west for Nintendo Switch.

The games are being made available on September 27, the same day as the new Dragon Quest XI S Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition. Here is the official blurb on the three games, direct from Square Enix.

The iconic Erdrick trilogy begins in the acclaimed DRAGON QUEST where players begin their voyage as the “Hero,” a descendent of the valiant hero Erdrick in an epic journey through the historic realm of Alefgard. DRAGON QUEST II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line takes place a century later, where the young prince of Midenhall embarks on a journey to find the other two descendants of Erdrick in order to defeat the nefarious Hargon. The third and final title in the Erdrick trilogy, DRAGON QUEST III: The Seeds of Salvation, takes players through the land of Aliahan, where a young hero has been charged with an impossible task of slaying Baramos, the master of darkness.

These are not just ports of the original releases, as the visuals on all the games have been plussed up, check out some screens for the game, two per title.
