Final Fantasy V & VI Bound for GBA
Square's popular SNES trilogy soon available again on another Nintendo console.
After splitting with Nintendo after the 32-bit days, Square Enix has jumped right back in with games coming on a regular basis for Nintendo's consoles and, in particular, its handhelds. The latest games getting the Game Boy Advance treatment will be yet more instalments in the popular Final Fantasy series, according to a report at Japanese site GPara.
Only know Final Fantasy VII? Time to expand.With Final Fantasy IV already announced, the RPG classic will be joined on the Game Boy Advance by both of its sequels, Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI.
Square Enix's announcement means that, with the exception of Final Fantasy III, which is headed to the DS, fans of the classic RPG series will be able to catch up on all pre-Final Fantasy VII instalments on the Game Boy Advance.
As yet, none of the Game Boy Advance Final Fantasy games has been explicitly confirmed for release in Europe, though Final Fantasy IV is due for release in North America on 12 December, suggesting a similar announcement is imminent.
