Dragon Quest Meets Smash Ultimate
Smash Ultimate is a very extensive array of characters from multiple franchises. The most recent expansion is “The New Hero Draws Near!” Challenge. This installment in Smash means exclusive heroes from the eleven Dragon Quest games are appearing. Dragon Quest is a Japanese Role-Playing Game (RPG) that was published as Dragon Warrior outside of Japan. North America had it call by this name because the term had a trademark in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign called “DragonQuest.” Now, Dragon Warrior is now the original name from Japan and not as confused as before with D&D. The concept for the game is to defeat monsters in an open world setting in quests through the storyline. Four heroes from Dragon Quest that are available to play are Eleven (Dragon Quest XI S), Arusu (Dragon Quest III), Solo (Dragon Quest IV), and Eight (Dragon Quest VIII). Eleven is based on the recent release in the franchise which is Echoes of Exclusive Age Definitive Edition. He wields the Supreme Sword of Light and follows the name of the Dark Spawn. Solo and Arusu are part of the first two trilogies of the series of Erdrick and Zenithia. Erdrick deals with Arusu wielding the Erdrick's Sword while Zenithia has Solo with the Zenithian Sword and ties to the Hand of the Heavenly Bride game. Eight is the final hero and has his Dragovian King Sword. Fun fact, the voice actor for hero Eleven, Yuki Kaji, killed two birds with one stone of completing the dream of voice-acting for both Dragon Quest and Smash. The final Smash Attack is the rest of the Dragon Quest hero cast together blasting a beam attack for the K.O. Personally, Dragon Quest is interesting for me because I watched the anime version first without knowing the game. This package was released in Smash's Fighters DLC (24.99 dollars) on July 30, 2019, and each hero can be bought separately at 5.99 dollars.
