I assume these are the same ones released on PS4 in Japan which were HD versions of the mobile ports

That English inclusion really makes me wonder why they're not officially releasing them here - it's just free money at that point! I'll be picking it up anyway, I guess, extra hoops be damned.

maybe a sugiyama thing?

i don't even know, but I've come to believe that anything weird about the treatment of that series in the west stems from sugiyama's hatred for white people (or whatever his deal is)

Oh nice. I already jumped through those hoops to get the Famicom version of the NES app, so thisll be no problem.

How many versions of DQ1-3 are there?

NES/Famicom
Super Famicom (JP only?)
GBA
Mobile
Switch

Switch is mobile? What are the differences between these?

So the truly distinct versions are NES, Super Famicom/GBA, and Mobile/PS4/Switch?

What are the differences besides the graphics?

2 and 3 are probably similar differences

mobile versions give even more exp and gold on top of having the graphical overhaul

GBC 3 has an extra dungeon not available in any other version. Also I don't think Monster Medals were brought back either.

3 SNES and GBC are different. As mentioned by Jon, GBC is the most complete, but you have to trade off graphics.

I like my 8-bit games to look 8-bit. Curious about how much different the mechanics and translations are though.

Weren't they Tiny Medals before? What makes Mini so much worse?

because it's different from my childhood and my 32 year old brain literally experiences disgust when I consider the change.

I didn't realize these weren't just using the mobile version graphics. The tile art/backgrounds are the same, but the character sprites in 1 & 2 are new and it looks like all 3 are using direct rips of Toriyama art instead of pixel art for enemy sprites.
