Fantasian spent so long as an Apple Arcade exclusive that I was worried that Apple had somehow wound up actually owning the game, rather than just licensing it, and it would never make its way off that platform. Not that Apple Arcade is bad, but this kind of deep, rich JRPG experience belongs on consoles too. Now it’s on Nintendo…
It’s easy to wonder why Square Enix would go to such great effort to remake one of the oldest Dragon Quest titles. After all, the HD-2D engine they’ve applied to Dragon Quest III would have made the SNES trilogy positively sparkle, and those titles are far more renowned for their…
