Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King hits your Nintendo 3DS on January 20

I now have more motivation to wrap up Dragon Quest VII as soon as possible.

Nintendo revealed today that Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King now has a release date: January 20 for the 3DS portable gaming console. It’s a repackaging of a PlayStation 2 masterpiece from 2005 (in North America), and it adds new player characters and quests. It is the third major Dragon Quest release for Square Enix in a 5-month span, with Dragon Quest VII hitting in September and Dragon Quest Builders in October for PlayStation 4, as the publisher continues to push the pun-tastic adventures (the series goes whole hog on cute wordplay, like the chain-wielding Chainine) in the States, where it hasn’t fared as well as Final Fantasy over the years.
