This is hard
Yeah I'm crossing my fingers for that. Hopefully they get announced soon for Japan and Nintendo considers them worth publishing in the west; all three are fully translated on mobile already after all.
Quick correction: Dragon Quest (the first one) was offered as a free download for those who completed the game on PS4 within the first year of its release. While I don't believe the 3DS version had this, eventually all three games would be made available for purchase on both platforms.
I don't think Switch has a system that can easily allow for this, unfortunately, but hopefully the games can be ported and made available, at least for purchase. I'm also kinda hoping they fix the whole missing moving sprites issues that the 3rd game had (while ports aren't perfect, they're serviceable, and I hope that and maybe couple other issues get patched).
I'm hoping this eventually does lead to more older generation Dragon Quest games on modern platforms.

it deserves a full remake in 11's engine but i guess they already started work on 12. i was hoping they'd do a remake before 12 :(
Probably going to use of my vouchers to day 1 this. Can't wait.
So in your opinion would be more worthwhile to play a translated version of SNES DQ3 than get the mobile version? I was actually going buy the mobile version but if the SNES version is better, well...

nice, good to see nintendo is serious about promoting it like their other first party games.
edit: looks like it'll also be playable to the public for the first time at gamescon.
Nah. Why would you wanna go and do a thing like that. "Oh my god smash hype oh my god first time the original DQ games available on a nintendo console in God knows when, oh my god!!!!"
I know Dragon Quest has let them down in sales expectations many times but its partly because they dont fucking believe in it and never take advantage of timing opportunities like this. How the fuck you put DQ in smash, do badass switch version of 11 and then not at the very least try and scam some port sales. Even the shittiest port they can muster.
I dont know why they bother putting the games out in English at all when they handle it so ineptly and shyly every time.
I wonder if Digital Foundry will make a Dragon Quest XI S analysis video after gamescom is over.

it depends on if they let those who play the game capture direct-feed footage. my guess is they won't and we have to wait until release to get the full analysis video.
Gamexplain had 10mins of direct feed footage, so I expect them to allow for it

that was part of a preview event where they let some gaming websites/channels preview astral chain, daemon x machina and DQXI S. i'm not sure how gamescon works and if it's just open for public or if the gaming press get to do longer demos where they can capture footage or not.
It's open to the public and the press gets scheduled time. Whether or not footage can be captured is up to the publisher. But Gamexplain's footage seems to signal a start of press impressions, just like Astral Chain.
Also, The Witcher will be playable! Yay
Great to see Nintendo is serious about promoting the game here. Definitely more than what can be said of SE's marketing last year lol
Now it does feature an orchestrated soundtrack (either that or very high quality synth, I'm not sure), but the SNES soundtrack is fantastic and fits the visual better, IMO, so it's not necessarily an upgrade.
I suggest you look up gameplay of both, maybe the changes won't bother you.
Yeah people were really sure a remake would follow XI but guess not. I still think it'll eventually happen, but I wonder what form it'll take...
The mobile version has the better translation of course, but the SNES one is better overall. The mobile one is essentially the SNES remake except with slightly modified character sprites, no enemy animations during battles and no pachisi mini game (a board game that is extremely fun). The incredible looking intro is also removed.
