The Dragon Quest series has always been extremely popular in Japan since its origins, so much so that it's been called one of the most influential role-playing game series of all time. It has sold quite a few million copies throughout its long history. The original characters were created by Akira Toriyama. This contributed to increasing the popularity of the series as he is also the creator of Dragon Ball. But this popular JRPG series has seen many changes over the years. The latest installment in the series, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, offers players a new opportunity to visit the world of Dragon Quest and meet its iconic characters, and it has had a very warm welcome.

The release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake a week ago was preceded by Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince and Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai, which were quite popular despite the first one focusing on monster taming mechanics and the second one is a spin-off based on the eponymous manga series. However, Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D Remake has surpassed them and many others of its predecessors by achieving an impressive number of sales in just a few days. It is currently the best-selling video game in Japan this year with more than 825.000 copies sold on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has left behind even the most important releases of Nintendo this year, including Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Square Enix can be quite happy with the huge success of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, but the number of copies sold will probably grow even more in the coming weeks. Also, its success may also be mirrored in the future, as game producer Masaaki Hayasaka has already said that he would like to see Final Fantasy VI receive the same HD-2D treatment. In any case, whether you are new to the Dragon Quest franchise or a seasoned fan of its games, you should keep an eye on the best prices for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake with our comparator if you haven't discovered the new version of the iconic JRPG adventure.
