  • Dragon Quest kicks ass... hard

  • did dragon quest monsters get released in the us/canada if not i could send you a copy?

  • I still have Dragon Warrior 2 and play it like it's a new game.

    Could you do a episode on the Dragon Warrior series??

    That game and sonic the hedgehog were basically my whole childhood.

  • Thanks to you I am obsessed with DQ:]Only have 6,and 9 so far.

  • @againstme111 if you could find 5 on the DS, it's great too

  • @ConsoleHandheldGamer I'm on the hunt for 4,and 5.I was into Final Fantasy when I was younger..along with Phantasy Star,and many others.Thanks for the reply:]

  • 8 hours of straight dragon quest playing and then I come online to see this video? Icing on the cake :P

  • you should do a multi part episode of the entire series and the spin offs

  • I like Dragon Quest series the best, Silent Hill Series 2nd. Wish you would review Silent Hill games

  • thats a good price. good job getting it. it will be 10 times that much in a few years.

  • I loved Dragon Quest 8, but all the new games are on the DS. And the PSX game is very expensive. Why not more home console Dragon Quest games?

    DQ 8 is just an amazing game--the script was excellent, the voice acting was top-notch, the graphics and sound were great...imagine a PS3 or Xbox 360 DQ game...

  • @helloandsoforth

    i'm 1/2 stoked about dqx. i'm happy that it is going to be a console release. but i'm not overally happy that it'll just be a wii exclusive. a ps3 dragon quest could have been EPIC.

  • @thegreenseven

    That's awesome, I had no idea there was going to be one for the Wii! But yeah, it'd be great to see it on the PS3.

  • fantastic series, i love the music, it fills me with happiness the second i hear it. i really enjoyed 7 the most. i still havent finished the rom of dq6 and now i wont because i can play the real version.

  • Nice. I know what that feels like. When James signed my pitcher to me that was awesome.

  • yo! johnny, as i'm sure you are aware dragon quest x will be announced end of this year... you should soooooo do an episode on DQ8 man - kinda like a lead up episode.

    dq8 is the shit man. no doubt.

  • you were really lucky to get the signed DQVI for that cheap, great find Johnny

  • Im kinda like this episode although I dont like dragon quest that much played dq 8 and didint like it

  • Thats awesome man i wish i knew about that signing i would have flown down to get it

  • I'm not going to lie, I really never played the Dragon Quest series before (I was a FF fan)....until Johnny 'the kickass console gamer' opened my eyes. Since then I've bought IX and am looking to pick up some of the remakes for the DS because good God man, it's freaking awesome! Thumbs up for johnny making you appreciate the classics!

  • Great vid! I also love the DQ series! I do have to admit that I am a bit jealous of your signed DQVI! I don't have any signed items in my collection yet, but I am hoping to get one for Grandia!

  • Have to say, DQVI was such a disappointment compared to DQIV and DQV. So jealous of the signed copy though. Great video man!

  • MEH

  • 10 people don't like Slimes! D:

  • No someone drew a slime on my game!!! :P

    MVHH

  • that's awesome, johnny!!! that's a classic collectable! and all for under $150.

  • That's a pretty good price for those items for sure. The value will most likely only go up, not that you will ever want to sell it, haha.

  • that's cool and everything but i've never understood the fascination with autographs that you didn't get yourself. like, the memory of you getting that is of you clicking the "place bid" button....how special can that really be?

  • Big congrats on the signed copy Johnny! The slime drawing was a cool added touch.

  • you're thumb whoring now? Sad, sad times

  • When I watch your videos, it takes me back to this indescribabl3, spiritual feeling of being a 90's kid and playing video games. This generation is deprived. I don't know how to explain it, it's not just nostalgia, it's this magical feeling. I feel sorry for those who don't feel it.

  • I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK INTO YOUR GAME ROOM! D= xDDD

    Can you make a Game room tour? =P Or did you already made one xD

    But wathever.. I can't see your whole collection.. But even when i'm taking a look ontho your background i can see a LOT of video games! xD

    Ur awesome. =P

  • I know the feeling of colecting something signed. I don't have much but I did manage to get my hands on a bunch of signed Todd McFarlane stuff ( a spawn calendar and some advertisements for spawn) and I cherish it because for one its hard to get him to sign anything apparently. and two I'm a huge fan of spawn, and when he drew spiderman and stuff :) awesome video dude.

  • Top's

  • Definitely should of took a trip to the store and got him to sign it in person. That would of made it so much more valuable to you. Collections are for memories. "Remember that time I hitchhiked to California to get dragon quest signed?"

  • How do u afford all those games behind you?? What do u do for a living? Man I am jealous of your collection lol.

  • @TheWCWite Thats a lifetime of collecting, not just overnight.

  • Thanks for telling us what you paid for it.

    A lot of post'rs won't do that for some reason., and frick'n pisses me off.

    You rock, my man.

  • Mate that T-shirt is the dogs bollocks! How did I miss this DS game, I actrally also had an imported Super Famicom version of the game from the olden days. I was a kid then so I never thought it through in advance and when it arrived I thought I could fudge my way through it like Actraiser but alas, I was a fool, another great video mate!

  • I met Yujii Horii at Nintendo World in my DQ5 costume, had my DQ9 copy signed, and talked with him personally for 15-minutes, because no one knew who he was because I was the only guy in the building who cleared the series. I asked him a few questions and my favorite one was, "who makes the perverted jokes in your series, you or Akira?" his response(in English), "half and half." Perfect experience. I thought I was going to miss him but I caught him before I had to go.

  • And I also got DQ6 on the DS

  • I cleared the entire series in their original format (5 and 6 on ROMS) and DQ monsters 1-4, with DQ Swords and Slime Morimori.

  • how your eyes doin

  • I was in new west last night. I didn't go to gamedeals but I went to the strip club. lol

  • how do you play through all these games? i've stopped buying games cause of all the ones i've bought i've literally only played for less than 30 minutes and some are highly rated games such as Black Oops.

  • hdo you know someone didnt write that on there? lol....

  • @2:15

    *Faints*

  • That's pretty sweet Johnny, I would love to have that shirt, not to mention the signed game. Great stuff man, I might have to see if anymore of those pop up on eBay.

  • how much do you think all your collection is worth?

  • Bargain of the century! Good for you Johnny...enjoy!!!

  • $137? That was a great deal, it would have cost twice that to travel down to be there yourself!

  • Omg I live 20 min away from that gamestop

  • Nice score, Johnny! The honesty of your winning bid was a nice touch :)

    Terence

  • hope to see some old school reviews from ya

  • why am I only learning your from Canada know? D: I feel like such a bad fan T_T

    Go Canada :D

  • must be nice

    

  • I really love this guy!

  • Where'd you get the SHIRT????????????????

  • I need that shirt your wearing, very cool pick up, I would love to get a signed copy of dragon warrior 1.

  • Years ago, I never had any Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest games, and I really wanted to get 4, 5 and 6 of both FF and DQ.

    But because I live in Australia, those games never got a PAL release and I had to rely on those games coming out on the GBA and DS since these handhelds are multiregion.

    Now thanks to the FF games on the GBA and the DQ games on the DS, my goal to get FF 4, 5 and 6 as well as DQ 4, 5 and 6 is now complete.

    If I die, I will be a happy gamer now.

  • outstanding item! very lucky johnny! love dragon quest as well. enjoy it bro!

  • Can someone please explain to me what that keyboard/gamecube controller is used for?

  • @Justin10473 I think he said it was for a Phantasy Star Online game. Its in one of his videos.

  • How could anyone in their right mind "dislike" HappyConsoleGamer ? Johnny rules, he should have a weekly show on g4tv with robman!

  • Wow Johnny that is an amazing piece!

  • Thats awesome Johnny because VI had a low print run like V did ! thats gonna be mega rare

  • does anyone else think that in dragon quest 6 the guy looks like chrono from chrono trigger ?

  • @xXPhoenixSlayerXx Same character desginer, Akira Toriyama. He did both of those and DBZ so that's why the characters look the same.

  • @LaurenHinson oh that would make sense since i think it was bulma looked alot like luca or android or whatever akira toriyama = good artist :D

  • @xXPhoenixSlayerXx I agree. very good artist indeed!

  • Great to have HCG videos being posted again! Nice to Have you back Johnny ;) Great deal on the signed DQ6 not a bad price at all!

  • That's awesome!! Thank god for Ebay huh?

  • NEEEEEED more content :D:D... Love the show man, always good quality videos and almost always a game that I was mad addicted to. As I've said a few times, keep up the awesome work, I look forward to your next upload. :D stay solid, and stay canadian haha

  • fantastic Johnny, just fantastic... you are too lucky my friend :D

  • yea, do a review of Dragon Quest games, just like you did with Monster World :DDD

  • the dragon quest 6 ds case is awsome

  • The price you paid is nothing compared to 1. how rare that game will be in the future and 2. that its signed by the man himself. This will be worth soooo much. Makes up for missing out on that signed shenmue eh? ;)

  • You suck! I was actually bidding on that auction but missed the end of it. It is definitely an awesome find. Hope you enjoy.

  • 7 people were bidding on those items and are mad that you won.

  • OMG!! i have been waiting for a video from you about the dragon quest series this is easily my favorite game of all time the signed copy of 6 epic the shirt totaly epic... this video just made my day

  • Congrats and Enjoy

  • 137 dollars? Damn, thats one bargain right there.

  • That Captain Tylor box set always draws my eye to it. :) I just LOOOOOOOooooVEEE

    that series! :D (also Robotech)

  • I love how your so enthusiastic about games its what make this channel so good.

  • Nice piece.

  • Fair warning, your shelves will break at some point and the resulting avalanche will make headline news.

  • Got damn it Johnny, should have got shenmue signed :)

  • Your awesome! And the t-shirt is sooooo cool!

  • Nice found !

  • Thumps up for black background. :)

  • Its more fun standing infront of the creator when he is signing the item to you !

  • the rom translation is mostly complete actually. you only run into stuff not translated if you revisit old towns.

  • It would have been cool if you said 'Until next slime' in this episode.

  • @Let8me8live LOL!!

  • @Let8me8live Might be a fun idea to license the slime character for an "Until next slime" t-shirt!

  • @Let8me8live Or better yet, it's Slime Time in this episode! Kinda a Nickolodeon throwback there.

  • WHAT A DEAL! And the entire video I was thinking: "dude, he sold an eye and an arm for that...."

    Congratulations!

  • Awesome video man, remember not all of your vid's have to be sweeping epic series reviews.Small vids like this keep us entertained and are fun to watch.

  • you got me thinking how much can I get for a signed Diablo 2

  • Canada! Rocks!

  • Wow ... really awesome ... slimes are cool :D

    definitly made my day Johnny :)

  • $137... signed stuff... I don't like them, they ruin the art like that sticker that says FRENCH AND ENGLISH VERSION!

  • @Bakemon13 looks like he signed on the plastic though, can't really tell

  • Woah nice!

  • my personal favourite is still numéro 8 journey of the cursed king

  • I love it!

  • It is good to see new videos from you again, and I agree with scampsian - you sure you don't want some French crap scrawled across the front? Ha ha. No, really, good to see you back in business. Also, when you get something that really means something to you, expense means nothing. That is a very small amount of money to pay for a memento from a great series.

  • Awesome man :p

    And glad you've got your computer back :)

    Also, fortunatly, the one you bought on ebay didn't have the sticker with "English version Included" or "Version Française Inclue" xD

    That would've pissed you off ^^

  • Its definitely something worth adding to the collection. Its good to know that some japanese developers and creators are making the jump to come to North America to address the fans of their games.

  • Im such a dic@k for thinking this, but what if the seller faked that signature? Lol

  • Which do you prefer 6 or 9?

  • Awsome

  • love this guy's energy

  • Sweet, your collection is going to the big league.

  • $137 was well worth it , shame you didnt go all out on the shenmue as well woulda been cool to see

    great vid as always

  • Wish every gamer was like you bro....^_^

  • This is great Johnny!! I love DQ too. Great vid

  • Wow! Holy cow, that guide is thick!

    LOL, that is some amazing swag.

  • are they ever going to do remakes of dragon quest 1,2, and 3 for the ds just like 4,5,and 6

  • haha who would dislike this vid? it's just a video game lover doing what video game lovers do!

  • sticker on cover reads

    english and french version le included

    lol (=^_^=) lol

  • And now you can send it to me... No need for you to keep that nice signed copy of 6 when you can just send it on over to me.

  • すげー、限定版とか色々持ってていいな~

    

  • @sirbuggy56 sad thing is I'm learning japanese and can read everything that isn't kanji too bad it doesn't help me understand what you're saying

  • Awesone vid johnny, 137 bucks is alot but its the price you pay for being into collecting =)

  • @Keiichichanisback LMAO Scott Pilgrim does rock the Slime shirt. Nice catch! I never put two and two together. He obviously used his dragon quest skills to defeat the evil ex's HAHA. Nice find & video Johnny.

  • whats your job?

  • Just Simply Awesome!!

  • @TheParasiticArmor That is a great deal.

  • thats awesome

  • That is awsome Johnny!

  • nice video oh and Square Enix just make a new version of FF4 for the psp

  • I can see your Dragon Warrior box for the NES on your shelf!! Nice signed copy Johnny!!!

  • Collecting video game stuff becomes quite addictive I'd imagine, maybe sell off some items you're no longer fond of?

    Turns out I live 20 minutes away from Gamedeals... never realized it was in Vancouver.

  • Dude, you ALWAYS get AWESOME stuff!

  • Very awesome, Johnny.

  • have you read the scott pilgrim comic, happy console? in the final volume, he wears a dragonquest slime shirt exactly like the one you're rocking in this video!

  • Is that your movie jacket?

  • I WILL PAY $350 FOR THAT I SWEAR I TRIED TA GET DWN THERE BUT COULDNT HE ONLY SIGNED 100PPL OFF

  • I love that jacket.

  • dq 6 is awesome you can check out how i hunt metal king slimes easy on my channel

  • That's so awesome! I'd love to have a copy of the FF7 soundtrack signed by Nobuo Uematsu. Time to start searching....

  • Great video! I saw that auction on ebay and was thinking about bidding for it.

  • we need more shenmueeeeeeeeeeee!

  • great video

  • your from canada AWesome XD xD

  • You're so lucky! That shirt is awesome!

  • Great episode but too short, too short.

    Anyways, great treasures, man, congratulations!

  • apply for partner HCG!

  • It's one thing to buy a signed copy on ebay, but it would have also been cool if you were there to meet Yuji Horii in person.

  • Dude love the jacket! Awesome episode as well (:

  • Great lighting in this episode. The image really pops and the colour is great! Love the horizontal wipe too.  Great channel!!

  • Awesome video! I am picking up the 3DS early next month (first DS) and was wondering what DQ games would you suggest me picking up? all? ever since i played DQ8 on PS2 i fell in love

  • @mMmMmmApplesauce any DQ games are worth getting. awesome games all around

  • hey man did you get your new computer? also could you do a dragon quest/warrior series review? i think it would be really awesome thanks man love the show.

  • i see this vid ME HAPPY

  • I was there in Palo Alto when they did this. Glad you got your copy. :)

  • Very nice find dude! Wish I could find something like that.

  • HOLY SCORE BATMAN!

    Dude, I am so jealous right now.

    DQ is my fav rpg series of all time. There are some that I consider better, but this is my favorite.

  • @RetroRoadshow Mine too, I wish they'd release DQ6 here in europe

  • Thats Awesome! Man i would give my Girl Friend that shirt. "Be My ValenSlime"

  • This is awesome! I'm jealous =p Congratz on getting a signatured item!

  • You know, if I ever decided to turn to a life of crime....

    I'm totally going to rob you.

    And only you.

    Who wants to steal all that awesome stuff just to get thrown in jail for grabbing a few bottles of coke from a convenience store?

  • That is an awesome collectible Johnny. Very cool.

  • thats awesome

  • I actually live a few minutes from that Gamestop. I was split between the Pokemon Mall Tour or the Dragon Quest event. I chose the pokemon event and I still kick myself to this day. >_<

  • Oh man I want that shirt! Wow and congrats on the signed Dragon Quest VI! Especially considering you hated that the Canadian copy had the French on it. Now you have a US copy AND a signature! Doesn't get much better than that. I think you paid a decent price for all that, definite collectors item. Dragon Warrior was my first RPG and will probably always remain my favorite series. I am just discovering DQ Swords for the Wii now, much better than I expected.
