NDS Dragon Quest Monsters - Joker 2 Professional (English) DS ROM

[RageBurner]

English translation that builds upon and completes the previous patch by Ceris White, with their oversight and support, now covering the post game. The only Japanese text that does remain is inconsequential and limited to interface button headings that are easily discernible. It also contains optional QoL features.


Author(s): Ceris White, Gerb, Ilario, Reflex
Type: Translation
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 17th of July, 2026
Status: Fully Playable


RB's Notes 1: Both versions contain the following base QoL changes:

1. Add new synthesis recipes (re-adds monsters that were limited to Wi-Fi or unobtainable back into the game).
2. Monster variant suffixes moved to the end of a monster's name.
3. Monster polarity replaces genders, as with previous entries.

RB's Notes 2: Besides, [Additional QoL] adds the following:

1. Offended monsters remain scoutable.
2. Owning multiples of the same monster no longer lowers scout chance.
3. Opposite polarity synthesis requirement removed.
4. Exp gain doubled.

Is the additional QoL patch something that makes the game too easy? I'm trying to decide which I should use for my playthrough.

From a cursory read, I'd say they are all beneficial changes that streamline grind rather than break the game. I'd go with it, personally.

is there a difference between regular joker 2 and this?
is this like the japanese exclusive "directors cut" edition or something?

Massive progression tip for people playing this.
Get a monster with hit squad which gives an amount of hits for it's animation & the skill Klepto Clobber like the Swarm monster.
Each of it's hits will count as a theft chance (so 8 thief attempts when Swarm does it)

With this you can use this move on the Frou-Fry to get infinite easy of the item that upgrades the shop.
Then on the wild slimes & hunter mech enemies for infinite of the ticket items which spawn the metal slime area which gets better as you progress into the game.

If you've ever played a DQM/DQMJ game: you really really want 2x Exp (or more). The grind is real. I died of happiness when mike9k1 released his 2/4/8x Exp mod for The Dark Prince.

Thank you for making it available, I have been waiting for it!

Double EXP gain is a goddamn blessing, the game is already pretty grindy, this cuts the pain by half.

Amazing love this game! But hey, the luddites were telling us Ai would be killing human translations lol

 

[isidoro25]

OMG wth? I can't believe that we Will finally play this game in English from beginning to finish!
I played the original dragon Quest monsters 2 and loved it in 2022.
The beautiful 3d graphics and models,the varied soundtrack with many songs from the previous games.
The difficult Battles and freedom that you have to explore the areas is amazing.
I can't wait to see what this new version has too offer.
