Only the first 3? Why not IV, as well? Just seems odd since they were all NES/Famicom titles. (And it's the best one out of the NES entries, at least in my opinion.)

I'd imagine because I-III is the Erdrick Trilogy while IV-VI is the Zenthian Trilogy, and they don't want to break them up. Plus, these aren't the originals, but upgraded versions of the ports that came out in 2014.

Bought a sealed copy of Conquest of the World for Odyssey2

His mom bought it for him from Sears for Christmas a long time ago and she forgot about it.

Got a copy of the Dragon Quest I-III trilogy for the switch. It's a bit odd that they never made a physical release for the US, but released it physically in English in China and Korea.

Only the first 3? Why not IV, as well? Just seems odd since they were all NES/Famicom titles. (And it's the best one out of the NES entries, at least in my opinion.)

IV is pretty good but nothing beats Part V.

That's the best dragonquest game by quite a margin especially compared to IV. ps2 or especially the ds version that is.

Weren't they planning on releasing the second trilogy as well?  Or was that just wishful thinking by fans?

I only ever played the very first game on my NES, and never finished it. (Final Fantasy took it's place)  I always wanted to give the series a try...

Not to sure but probably considering how many of these classic collections get released, but Only dragon warrior 3 is somewhat decent in the first trilogy especially the snes version you can skip 1 and 2 I'd say, not missing out on much.

The good stuff is 4, 7  and the best stuff in 5 8 and 11.

I would highly recommend one of the above 5

So I've seen some footage of those switch ports And I've got to say the art style is kinda mixed for me.

Shame that they didn't use the snes grapics and ported those versions instead. Mobile ports sure but didnt expect the grapics to look like that considering how DQ V on mobile looks nice like the ds version.
