Ready to feel old, Dragon Quest fans? The beloved Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is already ten years old! Not only that, but Square Enix has announced the title will be ported to 3DS!

This version will not only retain the original voice overs and orchestral soundtrack (as performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra), but will include StreetPass support and two new party members: girl thief Marda and Morrie from Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road. Japanese retailers will also host exclusive goodies depending on the store of purchase.

No word on whether or no it’ll reach Western shores, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.
