Square Enix has revealed that the first three Dragon Quest games will release on Nintendo Switch next week.
That will let learn about or rediscover the origins of the legendary role-playing game series, and, with that, the entire Erdrick trilogy.
The three classic games have “simple and intuitive controls that mimic retro gameplay,” in an effort to pay homage to where Dragon Quest’s legacy began.
