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.
How does it stack up to the original commercials? You decide! The Famicom and PS1 television spots are past the break.

i swear ive seen a better ps1 commercial on youtube for that remake, with the real life characters,its a better example than that one
i found it humourous with Tanako i think they were using english words,but with a japanese accent..

I like the second one best because it ends with a big fat Enix logo.
