Last week, when talking about re-releasing the SNES FF\'s (IV, V, VI), Sakaguchi mentioned that he would like to see them on the Game Boy Advance.
That one comment by Sakaguchi caused a lot of talk. Some of that talk included FFX being ported onto the Game Cube.
Finally we have some word on the issue. Apparently Square is not currently making anything for Nintendo, and it doesn\'t look like it\'ll happen anytime soon.
In a Gamers.com interview, Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi said:
"We do not have a contract with Square, and do not plan to even consider a contract in the future...[Square] is free to say whatever they want, but we have no intention of signing a contract, and there\'s little chance of one being signed in the future."

well that kinda sucks for nintendo fans
looks like square and nintendo will never be together again - its a sad thing indeed
Boy nintendo sure is being stubborn, maybe they don\'t want sqauresoft being on the system and over shadowing their own games...possible

Indeed he/it would seem that there was place yesterday a meeting between Square Soft and Nintendo to put back to the clear a little all this bazaar, and the two representatives not having wanted to move that are counselors of Nintendo and Square that made him to their room.
Nintendo gave a warning to Square Soft: So Square wants to absolutely develop and to put in adaptation of the Final Fantasy on Game Boy Advance and well they will need at least to make two games on Gamecube, and this condition is not questionable, in clear it is that or nothing!
Nintendo is reason and right a very good strategy allowing him to win more money and so to have the calm conscience, and so Sqaure doesn\'t come back and very Nintendo will have put this business to the clear and will have known that Square only had for goal to make itself/themselves of money on the back of the GBA and that they would have left at Sony...
It is going to make think Square that already has many projects for the Playstation 2, it inclusive therefore that Square Soft can come back if they want it, but if they have too much pride he won\'t come back of fear to submit to Nintendo.
Squares president Mr. Suzuki told the japanese newspaper "Nihon Kougyou Shinbun":
"We\'re not expecting to be accepted by Nintendo right away, but we\'re doing everything to get the relationship positive again. The most important thing about management is the ability of having several choices. It is hard to loose one of these. We have to try to convince Nintendo, by showing them our plans for GBA and GameCube that we will boost their hardware sales"
This is old news,I already posted a topic on this in the main forum.

the big "N" shoots thier own foot yet again
-
Link is a little touchy, someone wants Square to develop for them
-
Square once was one of big N\'s best game-developers. Big N\' doesn\'t like Square jumping to Sony. Square is cheating Big N\' with Sony so Big N\' divorces.
Now Square learnt its lesson and begs of re-marriage. Big N\' doesn\'t want a re-marriage as Big N\' has a new husband.
Square returns to Sony, its lover.
nice story, isn\'t it? :)
-
While on the side. Nintendo continue to reject all the other lovers it once had.. Typical nintendo story..
Square.
"Hey there nintendo. Can i make some games for GBA?.
Nintendo.
"NO. Not unless u make us lots of games for NGC."
Square.
"But i just want too make games for GBA."
Nintendo.
"Look, Make me games for NGC, Or piss off"
Square.
"what!!!! Fine, arn\'t we a stuck up, tightarse."
Nintendo.
"fine, Piss off then. I don\'t need u. I have other friends"
Square.
"Yea i\'m sure u do :rolleyes:."
Nintendo.
"Yes, All my pokemon friends."
Square.
"HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, You have got to be kidding me"
Nintendo.
"I\'m gonna tell my daddy on you".
Square.
Looks sidewards at nintendo.
"Pfft. Whatever, Tightarse."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that was fun. :D
But i doubt that\'s how it happened. But it was properly close ;)
-
Some of you seem to have reading disorders.:rolleyes: Did you guys not get the last part where Square says the\'ll argee?
Real story.
Square losses a lot of money.
Square comes crawling back to Nintendo.
Yamauchi finally gets his revenge for what Square did to Nintendo back in 95 or 96.
Nintendo gives a warning to Square.
Square says the\'ll do anything to make the relationship better.
End story. Square is on Nintendo guys,it\'s old news.:D
-
I don\'t like Square, but there is no denying they are a strong force in the industry. Nintendo has to much of an ego.
"We\'ll make cartridges. Screw the developers" (N64)
and once again..
"We don\'t need Square!"
Very smart. Very smart indeed. *note intense sarcasm*
-
im glad nintendo and square arent gonna team up........................more kick @ss gaming for us ps2 fans!!! :)
-
well Nintendo got some serious things to deal with now. Is the GC going to be a non-RPG platform like the N64?
Well I got my PS2 and that is one sure bet.
-
Can\'t everyone just get along? I mean seriously, by 2005 there better be a unviersal system!
-
yup

So,since it\'s not on DR or IGN,then it\'s fake?
I\'m sending a letter to IGNCube tonight. I\'ll ask them to comment or confirm this.

Nintendo likes things done their way and there way only, they tend to attract the younger kids in hope that they will grow up liking their system longer. Eh-Eh, I grew up, I switched to Sony. Smart move. PS2 has been out 4 months, and it already has more RPG\'s then Nintendo. Can someone tell me why Nintendo would neglect RPG\'s?
I plan on getting gamecube as well, only because It has potential. It\'s getting RE0, and another great game that I can\'t think of right now.
-
I wanted a gamecube but this nintenod head hancho moron makes me wonder.....Why the hell would that idiot turn down a good developer and a nice chunk of money>?>
-
where you refering to me?

Square losses a lot of money
well, Linky, i havent got the actual figures, but i find it hard to believe a company with the popularity and sales of square, plus the fact that Sony are paying for everything they want them to, will actually be losing money
-
What do any of us know about the Gamecube? Not too damn much. What if Nintendo is requiring everyone to remain silent until E3. If anyone knows how to do it, it\'s Nintendo.
It\'s a big possibility and the most likely.
And remember, we still have E3 and Space World before the launch of the Gamecube.

I believe they are loosing money right now, but it\'s mainly because of their multi-multi-multi-million dollar movie.
I don\'t care about Square anyway, but their money "problems" are only temporarily.
-
Didn\'t Sony invest a lot of money in the Final Fantasy movie.
If so Square would be stoopid to make games for other consoles at this time,big brother Sony would be royally pissed off.

But if there was a universal console then the developers wouldn\'t need to make quality games. They would have no competition so wouldn\'t need to make better and better games and hardware.
So a universal coinsole would be a BAD IDEA
-
not really - there would be more competition
the developers of games would have to compete with a wider range of others for the best selling game of their genre
thus making games a lot better quialty - hence why some developers are gonna have to do better since sega is one now
the more developers on one system means more competition- you don\'t see PS2 developers competiting with the game ShenMue becuase that game is on a different system and therefore have to worry about it taking sales from the PS2 games
