Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (ドラゴンクエストVI 幻の大地 Doragon Kuesuto Shikkusu Maboroshi no Daichi^?, lit. "Dragon Quest VI: Land of Illusion"),^[1] Dragon Quest: Realms of Reverie in Europe,^[2] is a console role-playing game developed by Heartbeatand published by Enix (now Square Enix) for the Super Famicom as a part of the Dragon Quest series. It is the last Dragon Quest game in the Zenithia trilogy.^[3] It was released on December 9, 1995 in Japan.^[4] This installment in the series was developed by Heartbeat, whereas the previous Dragon Quest games were developed by Chunsoft.^[5] In July 2007, Square Enix announced a series of remakes ofDragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation for the Nintendo DS, making this the first remake of the latter game on other consoles.^[6] The title was released in North America for the first time on February 14, 2011. There is currently no release date set for Europe.

As the sixth installment to the Dragon Quest series, the graphics and gameplay remain close to the other games, with minor additions and upgrades.^[7] The graphics were vastly improved from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, which was also for the SNES, but had rather unimpressive graphics due to being an early game on the console. Navigation remains largely unchanged from the previous games and the turn-based battles are still in first-person. The class system from Dragon Quest III returns, with minor adjustments.^[7]Despite the very high price of 11,970 yen (about 100 dollars),^[4] Dragon Quest VI sold 3.2 million copies in Japan, becoming the best selling game of 1995.^[8] The DS version sold an additional one million copies by March 2010.^[9]

The story follows the traditional Dragon Quest "Hero" on a quest to save the world. In this particular installment, the heroes also have to endure the personal struggle of amnesia, as many of the main characters do not initially remember who they are. After completing a series of quests, the player learns that in addition to a Real World, there is also a Dream World, made up of people's dreams, and that there is a great evil that wants to conquer both. The Hero and his new party work together to save both worlds from the ever-growing threat.

IGN RATINGS FOR DRAGON QUEST VI: REALMS OF REVELATION (DS)

Rating	Description
out of 10	Click here for ratings guide
7.5	Presentation The in-game menus get the job done. And that’s important, since much of the game’s action takes place within them.
7.0	Graphics Dragon Quest VI looks like an SNES (or early PSX)-era RPG. And fans of the series wouldn’t expect anything else.
6.5	Sound There are some awesome tunes, but there aren’t enough of them. A long game like this should have more variety. The classic sound effects are a nice touch.
7.0	Gameplay Everything about the game screams classic JRPG. If that’s your thing, you’ll like what you find. Expect to be turned off if you’re not a JRPG fan, though.
8.0	Lasting Appeal If you like Dragon Quest VI, there’s a lot to do. You could easily lose over fifty hours or more seeing and doing everything.
7.0 OVERALL	Good (out of 10)

Super Mario 64 DS

Nearly ten years ago, Nintendo's Super Mario franchise made the ambitious leap into the world of 3D on the Nintendo 64. Along with introducing new game mechanics for the brand-new Marioouting, Nintendo had several goals with the release of Super Mario 64. Naturally it was a way to show off the capabilities of the new hardware, letting Mario strut his stuff in full 3D. But it was also a prime outlet for Nintendo to wean players into the realm of analog control; Nintendo made the bold move to incorporate analog control right out of the box, and to anyone playing Super Mario 64 on the system it's pretty obvious that the game and the controller were developed side-by-side. The end result: Super Mario 64 became a massive commercial, critical, and design success for the Nintendo 64 console, and though future games have built upon and improved on the ideas established by Nintendo's development team, gamers still regard Super Mario 64 as one of the finest examples of 3D platforming ever created.

Almost a decade since the game's debut Nintendo has revived the fantastic design for a new generation of players. The intention is nearly the same the second time around: Nintendo's system needs a "killer app" to demonstrate its new system's capabilities and unique control structure. Super Mario 64 DS successfully demonstrates that the Nintendo DS has the right stuff to recreate an existing "64-bit" game on handheld hardware, and there's no question about the quality of the game's production value. The problem lies within the fact that the game was always meant to play with a Nintendo 64 controller. Though the Nintendo DS developers pull off the game's original control structure extraordinarily well on a system without an analog stick, it still feels like a compromise and begs the question,"if this is your killer app to show off the system, why the heck didn't you include one in the first place?"

If you can manage to get past this question, though, you'll find a fantastic gaming experience that pushes nearly every element of the Nintendo DS hardware. You may not be convinced that dual-screen, touch-screen gaming is "the future" after playing Super Mario 64 DS, but at least Nintendo offers up some genuinely creative and enjoyable ideas to complement the existing, already fantastic Nintendo 64 game design.

Features

• 150 stars to collect
• Four playable characters
• More than two dozen touch-screen, dual-screen mini-games
• Cartridge save (three slots)
• Wireless multiplayer for four players (single cartridge)

When Nintendo created Super Mario 64, it didn't just change the perspective. The entire game structure of the Super Mario series shifted just as dramatically as the camera view did. Players no longer worked through linearly-designed levels to rescue the Princess. Instead, each area -- a fully explorable world -- had been designed in such a way that gave players many different tasks to complete, each with the same goal: grab each of the challenge's star to move on to the next area. To unlock areas deeper in the game, players need acquire a set number of stars, and even though players didn't need every single star to finish the game, it's the temptation to complete the checklist that kept gamers players going until everything was done.
