Dragon Quest IV: Journey of the revised commercial

Siliconera StaffBy 172 views

While North America is just getting start with Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, Japan gets the DS remake of Dragon Quest IV this month. Square-Enix is going to let this fly under the radar. They already have a TV commercial airing in Japan and it’s retrotastic. In the late 80’s early 90’s a fair number of Japanese TV ads had live actors instead of just montages of video game footage. The Dragon Quest IV DS ad pays homage to this with a caravan of cosplay heroes.
