This trilogy of ports on Nintendo Switch is the only way to play these games on modern systems with traditional controls. Unlike many console ports for mobile, the Dragon Quest games look and control brilliantly and play very well in portrait mode. If you love Dragon Quest and want to check out the series’ origins, you can buy the first game very cheap on iOS and Nintendo Switch to check out for yourself. Not only are the iOS versions better scaled for newer displays but they aren’t using poor sprites and don’t have an interface that looks out of place completely. If you have the option and are ok with touch controls, you should absolutely get the iOS version of each of these three games over the Nintendo Switch versions.
