Square Enix Doing DSiWare Stuff

By Spencer . April 5, 2009 . 7:14pm

Last night at the Nintendo DSi launch party I spoke with David Young, Assistant PR Manager at Nintendo. We discussed subjects such as region locking, DSi enhanced carts, and third party DSiWare developers.

On the last topic Young said, “A bunch of third parties working on things. I think Square Enix has some stuff coming out.”

What kind of “stuff” could Square Enix release on DSiWare? Chocobo clocks? A little bit of Yosumin? How about Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII? A few E3s ago Square Enix’s press kit had English screenshots of the unreleased mobile game. The DSi has a camera and episodes could be sold on DSiWare… just a thought!

The full interview with Mr. Young is being transcribed and will be posted shortly.

Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, yes PLEASE!!!

It'll probably happen. Nintendo knows it'll push the DSi and Square Enix knows it'll push sales to release another FFVII title. Hooray overrated video games!

I actually still don't know how Before Crisis plays, but if it's as good as Crisis Core then I don't want to miss it. If it does come to DSi, maybe S-E would try to sell the game retail w/ a limited edition bundle? The cell phone graphics seem very simple though.

I'll buy SE clocks if they promise to stop making FF7 "somethingCrisisOrOther" stuff.

Square Enix mobile also have Ellark looks pretty good http://www.square-enix.co.jp/mobile/etc/ark/
and there is another episodic RPG which have an art not far from professor Layton I forgot its name. there are others from Square Enix if you dig more in google,
also Sega have a cool epic looking RPG and they have also Shining Road and Capcom made a new Breath of Fire for mobile too.
I want them all in English.

Even though it's WiiWare bound, I'd still like a DSiWare version of FFIV The After Years. Yosumin as a DSiWare release makes a lot of sense too imo.

I'm also eager for Taito stuff. I'd rather have something like Bubble Bobble Plus on DSiWare to be honest...
