Nintendo Power: FFIV DS coming in July

by Kyle Orland { Apr 9th 2008 at 1:00PM }

Misdirection isn't just for magicians anymore ... apparently Nintendo Power practices it too. While everyone was focused on the hints of a U.S. localized Final Fantasy IV DS in the magazine's ten-page cover feature on the game, no one seemed to notice that the game was listed with a "July" release date in that same issue's "Game Watch Forecast."

Well, no one except RPGFan.com, which then in turn got noticed by our own DSFanboy, which in turn got noticed by us so you fine readers can notice it for yourselves. This could just be a typo on Nintendo's part, but more likely it's a slip-up that reveals a release window a little earlier than Square-Enix would have liked. Either way, just another pebble on the growing mound of evidence that a localized version is coming.

I want a Final Fantasy VI Wii remake. =p

FFVI wiiware, done in the style of the beta N64 FF7 demo's would be sweet.

But I wouldn't bet on it.

Eh, I didn't like the FF6 N64 demo thing. I mean, it was great back in 1996 or 97 or whenever, but it would just suck today.

You'd be crazy if you didn't think this was coming over here when they first announced it.

can't wait for this shit

They just re-released this game on GBA.

In 2005.

And this is 3D (if that's relevant to your interests).

So? FF4 wasn't released that long before 6. Besides, FFVI DS wouldn't be out for a good few years anyway since they'd likely follow up with FFV DS first.

Setzytb @ Jun 18th 2008 4:48AM

Whoops...misread that. I thought you were referring to VI and not IV.

The real newz from that picture and something I'm amp'd to see is Garfield Fun Fest IS(!) coming out in May.

If I were at Square Enix, I would re-release all the old Final Fantasy games on more recent systems. There were a ton of people that didn't have a chance to play them the first time around, and probably even more that would love to play them again with updated graphics and maybe some new content. We all know that the name Final Fantasy prints money better than just about any other in the market, except maybe WoW. They're already milking VII for all it's worth, short of a re-release, why not just stop teasing us and give us what we all want?

Aside from that, Konami needs to release Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 on the PS2 or PS3. I bet many here got into the franchise with Solid 1, and its prequels are just too technologically dated to play.

Yeah, Playstation is getting the shaft this generation, PSP only gets 2D remakes of FF1 and 2, whereas the DS gets 3D remakes of 3 and 4. But who could blame them for picking the DS over PSP? : (

And yeah, FF6 is the best FF!
