    Aww man.

    Extremely low res textures.

  • Hybrilynx

    lets be serious dragon quest looks just like dragon ball z. if it doesnt, that people who copy off of nintendo on the 3ds blog doesnt look like nintendos stuff.

    • Ice

      It’s the same artist dumbass

    • Hybrilynx

      thats nice but this isnt dbz.

    • zxride64

      Yeah, but he dosen’t have to change his art style because it is not DBZ

      Its a lot safer to say “This looks like Akira Toriyama’s work” (and it is). I understand Dragon Ball is huge in the US but get to know a little bit about the people who worked on these shows/games. You will learn a lot about or projects they’ve been included on. Some of it might be even be surprising. A few personal favorites – Keiji Gotoh, Nobuteru Yuki and Katsuya Terada. Happy hunting.

      It kinda doesn’t matter. It’s like how Seth McFarlane made American Dad based on Family Guy. And it’s not Family Guy but the style is still the same with some similar character models.

      And Family Guy based on Simpsons

    • Ichigo Kurosaki

      Kinda like how most characters from Crono Trigger resemble the DBZ characters right? I had always noticed this for yrs.

      Not only that but also the SFX you hear from the cinemas in Chrono Triggers DS, or the PS version

      Akira Toriyama is the artist behind Dragon Quest. He is also well known for the Dragon Ball Series and other similar projects like Blue Dragon and Chrono Trigger. He’s my favorite anime artist.
      Same artist. Different kind of projects. Different partnership with companies. Similar artworks. No copy.

      Backing up what fellow commenters 6 Sacred Fists and starchildzero have said.

      It’s $10 difference on whether you want decent graphics and added support or not.

      It’s the Wii game, converted to native HD with enhanced frame rate and control scheme.

    I never ever played any dragon quest game before but this one looks amazing and I m looking forward on getting it for the wii U when localized..aim also interesting on the 3ds dragon quest anyone knows when coming out of Japan? Anyway do I have to play any other games so I can play this or its like final fantasy new story each time? Any recommendations

    • icyparks

      All Dragon Quest games have a different story line. I recommend Dragon Quest 9 as a good 1st dragon quest game.

  • kresslia

    This was never going to have amazing graphics, it really just is a high def Wii game.

    all i want to know, is it bloody IP blocked….

  • starchildzero

    For people that don’t know …Akira Toriyama the creatorartist of the Dragon Ball series is the artist for the Dragon Quest and Blue Dragon games he also did the art for the first ChronoTrigger game. That is his art style and that is why all of those games and the DBZ manga and animes look so simular.

    • I am Error

      That anwsers so many questions my Childhood left unresolved…

  • redhood56

    For all complainers out there; It’s an mmo(and on a console too), the graphics aren’t going to be amazing.
