Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers may be lost in the Square Enix vaults for now, but that isn’t stopping the company from creating original Final Fantasy titles for the Wii and DS. That’s right – Square Enix has revealed in the newest issue of Shonen Jump that Final Fantasy: Echoes of Time will be launching for the Wii/DS next year in Japan.

– Charlotta is the main character of the story and it revolves around a crystal.
– Pollux Engine allows for Wii + DS to be played at the same time
– Those who play on the DS or Wii can play online with each other
– Miis can be transferred from Wii to DS
– Gameplay is different for the Wii/DS meaning you can use the stylus or Wii controller
– Release date: 1/29/09 – Japan

Thanks to Bob for the heads up!

While we’re all busy speculating about new DS redesign rumors, the next Wii system, Wii HD, may already be in development. According to John Davison, a well-known industry insider, Wii HD would hit the market in 2011. With Wii HD, Nintendo would be putting “a greater emphasis on digitally distributed and backwardly compatible content” in addition to a graphical overhaul. Davison suggests that R&D costs at Nintendo have been rising, thus that issue would be something Nintendo would fix with Wii HD.

“Nope. No TGS showing. We haven’t decided yet whether it’s going to ship in Japan… that determination won’t be made for several more weeks so showing it at a Japan consumer show doesn’t make a lot of sense. Don’t worry… you won’t be able to miss it when it resurfaces.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

As we already know, Spyborgs is going through a big overhaul and it looks like Capcom has completed some major changes. Capcom has been pretty selective of where its latest titles it will release, but I suppose that it’s just a matter of whether or not the company believes the specific game is suited for certain territories.

Earlier today, Gamekyo posted a rumor regarding an old franchise that would see rebirth on the Wii. Nintendo has commented on the speculation and the response is pretty much what most had expected – That Nintendo does not “comment on rumors and speculation” reply. Even so, this rumor along with the new DS talk, still has an open window of opportunity to be present at Nintendo’s Japanese conference (or perhaps even the North American event), though we’ll definitely have a better idea about the two come this Thursday.
