Aaaahh, Dragon Quest III. What self-respecting Dragon Quest fan and RPG lover could ever dislike that game? This SNES remake not only ups the graphic and musical quality to better-than-DQVI levels, but all the monster attacks are animated, which looks super sweet! Small Medals were also added, as well as various Pachisi tracks scattered across the globe, and a bonus dungeon that you can access when you beat the game.

All that’s fine and good, but I still prefer my Gameboy Color remake of DQIII. You get all that new stuff (except the graphic/musical enhancements.. but since when was DQ about pretty pictures?), plus you can collect Monster Medals which can get you into another bonus dungeon! Pretty tasty!

A lot of the 8×8 stuff is done, albeit mostly with those icky squished tiles. Some of the letters in the 16×16 dialogue font is done, but it doesn’t matter much since it hasn’t been messed with apart from that.

After releasing the patch we currently have here at The Whirlpool, it had been reported that Dark Force would be aiding ChrisRPG with this… but that seems to not be the case as Byuu is now listed on the project page.

Work is still progressing on this project, it’s currently estimated to be 47% done. The progress screenshot below is an example of their current work in progress.
