Many turn based role playing games have drawn from the experience and development of the Dragon Quest series, and true to the original release, Square Enix has actually done very little to overhaul the battle system they have implemented. Sure, there are a few new ways to deal damage, and a new movement option in Dragon Quest 11, but it's mostly stuck to the core mechanics that have made the franchise so successful for so long. And that's not a bad thing.

The Tokyo Game Show is going on now and we can expect some game announcements and new trailers to be shown. Square Enix has already shown a few new trailers, including another look at World of Final Fantasy Maxima! Check the new trailer out below and then please come back for my thoughts on it.

So you won’t see in comparisons  between the original …

Last week, we had a Nintendo Direct. There were a lot of announcements out of that Direct, however my favorites were Animal Crossing Switch and all those Final Fantasy games!

When games are developed and released in Japan, western audiences sometimes feel left out. This was definitely the case for Dragon Quest 11, which was released in July of 2017 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. Over a year later, and the game has finally landed on western shores, with many fans asking, "What took so long." When playing through the first 10 or so hours of Dragon Quest 11, I realized one major thing: there is a lot of text in this game. I mean a lot! On top of the translation that would need to occur, there is also one other ...

However, there are some major differences as well, and fans of a more traditional tycoon experience may be in for a few pleasant surprises. Now, on to the review!

When Nintendo isn't developing some kind of Mario title for their flagship consoles, you know there is a problem. Thankfully, no problem currently exists as a slew of Mario related titles either received major updates, given release dates, or were formally announced during the Nintendo Direct.
