During the fourth Dragon Quest XI S livestream, the developers of Dragon Quest XI S briefly discussed late Nintendo President Satoru Iwata.
According to the developers there was a time where late Nintendo President Satoru Iwata spoke to them about the Nintendo Switch. That was even way before it was officially revealed in October 2016.
Mr. Iwata’s wish
Though the developers didn’t know what the Nintendo Switch was called at that time, Iwata told them it is a game console that could be played at home and on the go. A first of it’s kind of hybrid.
In July 2015, Iwata requested them to bring Dragon Quest XI to Nintendo Switch. That was how Square Enix announced the game was being considered for NX, which was the Nintendo Switch’s code name at that time.
So after years, the developers have finally fulfilled their promise to Iwata with the launch of Dragon Quest XI S. Which still meant a lot to them even though sadly Mr. Iwata is no longer with us.
