GAME TV held a Dragon Quest IX 10th anniversary talk show between the series creator Yuji Horii and developers of the Nintendo DS version.
What took place
During the talk show, a potential remake was briefly discussed, and Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino showed great enthusiasm in porting Dragon Quest IX to Nintendo Switch.
Keep in mind though; Nothing was confirmed during the show.Seeing that Dragon Quest IX’s IP is owned by Square Enix, we aren’t too sure how that’s going to play out.
Hino joked he could “make the game” in 2 months, and Horii responded perhaps it’s possible to make it come out by the end of 2019.
Later, in a serious tone, Horii asked whether it was really possible to have the remake out in one year.
The remake discussion has led Dragon Quest fans to believe Dragon Quest IX would eventually receive a remake on Nintendo Switch, as shown by how enthusiastic Hino was in making it seem to be a reality.
