The first three Dragon Quest games are hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop on Sept. 27.

Dragon Quest 1, 2, and 3 complete the Erdrick trilogy, following the iconic heroes as they go on adventures in order to slay big, bad monsters. For those who’ve been newly interested in the Dragon Quest series, perhaps after seeing the Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or falling in loves with slimes in Dragon Quest Builders 2, these are a good place to start.

These aren’t just ports of the original games in all their retro, pixely goodness. These are ports using the graphics from previously-released mobile ports, meaning that some of the art has been updated to be less pixelated.

Dragon Quest will cost $4.99, Dragon Quest 2: Luminaries of the Legendary Line will cost $6.49, and Dragon Quest 3: The Seeds of Salvation will cost $12.49. Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition also launches for Nintendo Switch on Sept. 27.
