But in many parts of Africa, where the game is seen as a powerful tool for intellectual strength and self-improvement, it has developed a broad following.

The original Dragon Quest trilogy has been rereleased many times over the years, but this is the first time the three games are returning to a true console experience in the west since the originals. These versions are basically a straight up port of the Japan exclusive PS4 ports that were based on the prior mobile ports.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he may be forced into a late foray into the transfer market, as he feels his Arsenal squad is too thin currently to cope with the demands of the run-in to the Premier League season.

All told, they’ve dropped about $750,000 on their home, which they’ve lived in for just over a year. In many ways they couldn’t be happier.
