Whats up with Square and the Bandai WonderSwan?
With remakes of Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III headed for Bandai’s WonderSwan handheld, it almost begs the question why these aren’t coming to the Game Boy Advance instead. Although the precise reason is not known, one RUMOR we received from a Japanese source that states that awhile back, Square applied to make Game Boy Advance games but were actually rejected by Nintendo. Could it be because of bitterness? The real reason could be that NCL supposedly have a policy that does not allow GBA development unless you have made a GBC title. Since Square has not developed for any Nintendo system over the past few years, this may have been a stumbling block in getting FF remakes to GBA—and a key reason Square decided to take the titles to WonderSwan instead.
