These days, remakes are all the rage, and many of them are finding their way onto Nintendo’s dual-screened portable juggernaut. These transitions typically mean new features as well as the expected boosts in graphics and sound, but they also mean comparisons to games that have been released years and sometimes even a decade after the initial release of the source material. In this light, remakes are unique in that they must compete with games of the past, present, and future in a modern day setting, yet Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen for the DS manages to hold its own.

North American Dragon Quest fans can, for the first time, be envious of European gamers as Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen for the Nintendo DS goes on sale tomorrow in PAL territories. And though no release dates have been set, the remakes of Dragon Warrior V and VI (now dubbed Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest: Realms of Reverie) are said to be “coming soon.”
The remake of the original NES title is rated twelve and up. North American fans will have to sit tight until September 15.
The Xbox 360 has long been the black sheep of the console war in Japan, but it got a bit of a boost this week with the release of Tales of Vesperia. The latest installment of the Tales series debuted on the charts at #4 selling 108,000 copies in its first week. The 360 meanwhile quadrupled its normally low weekly sales numbers, moving 20,000 units rather than the regular 5,000.
Tales of Vesperia is one of five RPGs on the top ten for the week of August 4-10 in Japan. Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP took top spot with 148,000 units sold (for a total of 490,000). Fire Emblem DS was close behind with 145,000 in its first week on the market. Dragon Quest V DS stands at #5, selling 73,000 units this week, putting its total sales past the one million mark. And Summon Night 2 for the DS, also released this week, managed to sell 30,000 and grab spot #7.

In news that should shock absolutely no one, Dragon Quest V shipped over one million copies in under two weeks in Japan. Considering the fact that Japan loves Dragon Quest and the DS, it’s kind of surprising it took this long. Dragon Quest IV performed similarly well when it saw its release in November of last year, and Dragon Quest VI has yet to see release. All three games are coming to North America, with Dragon Quest IV hitting our shelves on September 16.
