Oh man, this was unexpected! With DQ8 being one of my favourite games ever, I'm obviously excited, just not sure if it will be localized or not. Remember, they are bringing Dragon Quest: Heroes over, so there's still a chance.

I also really want to see what it looks like. Will it be a downgrade, visually? Because the original looked pretty good and I'm not sure the 3DS could reproduce that.

I would prefer it for the Wii U instead, but I imagine they're doing this to lead up to the announcement of Dragon Quest XI, which will inevitably be in the DQ8 style and be on the 3DS.
