Dragon Quest VIII coming to Nintendo 3DS

Dragon Quest VIII

Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, which first launched for PS2 and smartphones, will be coming to Nintendo 3DS in Japan on August 27 for 5,980 Yen.

The 3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII will have a new scenario, new party members in the form of a female thief named Garda and Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road’s Morrie. The game will also have full voice-overs and a StreetPass support.

Unfortunately, the game is only for Japan, though we are hoping Square Enix will release it here in North America.
