TGS: Chun Soft’s Boss is Bullish on Dragon Quest X
If there seems to be an unusually dense concentration of Dragon Quest news on 1UP this week, that’s because the series is highly visible around Tokyo at the moment due to the incipient release of a 25th anniversary collection of the first three titles in the series. And few people know Dragon Quest as well as Chun Soft president Kouichi Nakamura, who was one of the four main creators of the very first Dragon Quest back in 1986. While perhaps not as well known as designer Yuji Horii, composer Koichi Sugiyama, and artist Akira Toriyama, Nakamura was no less instrumental in the series’ inception.

TGS: Japan Takes Its Dragon Quest Pretty Seriously
I know it’s a cliché, but sometimes there’s truth in such tripe: Japan loves its Dragon Quest . Outside of Mario and Monster Hunter , no other game franchise holds quite so much power over the gaming masses — and like Mario, it’s a sway that commands more than just the teenager set.
