London (18th February 2009) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: Echoes of Time™ will be released in Europe and across PAL territories on 27th March 2009, exclusively on both Nintendo DS™ and Wii™ systems.

Introducing the World’s first cross-platform multiplayer adventure for the Nintendo DS & Wii systems! Set in the fun and friendly CRYSTAL CHRONICLES universe of the FINAL FANTASY series, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Echoes of Time delivers a unique and innovative experience where both Nintendo platforms come together in perfect harmony.


New Portable System Offers Customized Gaming Experiences

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo pioneered hand-held entertainment in the ’80s and made it fully mobile with the Game Boy™ video game system. Now, Nintendo is transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content with the new Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the world’s best-selling portable video game system. Nintendo DSi launches in the United States on April 5, 2009, at an MSRP of $169.99. The colors available at launch will be Blue and Black.

“Ever since the arrival of the first Game Boy, consumers worldwide have turned to Nintendo for their portable gaming,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Nintendo DSi builds on Nintendo’s commitment to bringing fun and creative entertainment to everyone, and will allow consumers to personalize and share their very own experiences.”


A duo of clues may indicate that Nintendo plans on announcing the Nintendo DSi for North America in the coming days. The first pictures of the North American box have been found, which indicate that Nintendo has already provided a few produced units to websites/magazines.

Another clue from IGN says that their weekly podcast has been delayed due to “a rampaging Bowser, a zombie infestation, or an upcoming handheld announcement.”

IGN previously stated that the system would ship in North American on April 1. An upcoming announcement could indeed be for that date.
