Dragon Quest VIII 3DS gets a new story trailer

On January 20th, 2017, 3DS owners can get their hands on an enhanced port of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. This version of the PlayStation 2 original will include brand-new story cutscenes and more voice action than the original.

New features such as an on-the-go quick save and a “Cameron’s Codex” photo mode where you’ll be reward for taking pictures of a variety of subjects. You can share these photos via the 3DS’s StreetPass function too.

If you’re new to the game’s story, Nintendo has shared a teaser below that runs down the basics — check it out:

  • Via Nintendo UK:
    The story begins when a jester, Dhoulmagus, comes to Castle Trodain and steals the King’s sceptre. He then uses its power to turn his majesty into a troll, the Princess into a horse, and the castle inhabitants into plants. The only one left unscathed from this attack is a castle guard who escaped the curse and must now step up to save the kingdom he’s sworn to protect.

    Only by travelling the lands, recruiting allies, and following the trail of destruction that Dhoulmagus leaves in his wake will The Hero be able to retrieve the sceptre in order to restore Trodain back to its former glory.
