Japan Anniversary Association recognizes May 27th as "Dragon Quest Day"

GN Version 5.0

On this day 32 years ago, Dragon Quest launched for the Famicom. It was the start of something absolutely huge for Enix, and is now one of the most popular game franchises in Japan. That's probably why the Japan Anniversary Association has now certified May 27th as Dragon Quest Day.

The Japan Anniversary Association aims to increase awareness for Japanese culture, and they feel that Dragon Quest is well worth recognizing. The association isn't run by the government though, so the holiday falls short of being truly official. Still, it's enough for Dragon Quest fans to be excited about and celebrate!
