Well, more and more developers is a great thing for the GC and GBA. But Square? HOT DAMN!!!!!

According to the Saturday edition of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Square and Nintendo have reached an agreement that will bring Final Fantasy games to the GameCube and Game Boy Advance platforms. Under the agreement, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi will allocate money from Fund Q--a fund Yamauchi set up in January to help encourage software development--to a new Square-affiliated development house. In return, Square will establish the new development house with help from Akitoshi Kawazu, a director from the Final Fantasy development team, by the end of this month.
The Square affiliate is expected to release games for both the GameCube and Game Boy Advance before the end of the year. Square properties other than Final Fantasy were not mentioned in the report.

Uhh.. what exactly does Square-Affiliated mean?
seems to me this is just a method for square to port FF4, FF5, and FF6 to the GBA

Yep, I figured you\'d look at the possible down-side here.

Oh well, that figures.. this is the Sony forums.

At least in some capacity.  Probably ports, but it\'s on all the sites apparently.

Seems the Nintendo fans can finally like Square again. [

That\'s always nice, any chance of exclusives?

**Hint Hint**  Mario RPG 2 **Hint Hint**

Here we go again.. How many times have a site "confirmed" Square for Nintendo now again?

:rolleyes:

Apparently Nintendo has confirmed the news, according to IGN anyway.

Ah right åån!

good for nintendo

Doesn\'t really matter

Sony owns allot of square so they have lots to sya what square does and what it doens\'t

I assume a Mario RGP 2 aswell, at leats I hope so since its one of the best games ever

I was getting a GC this summer anyway, but this just gives me more reason to.  I hope they get more than ports though, that would kind of suck.

I am having fun watching all the rabid nintendites making hypocrites of themselves proclaiming Square wonderful again when they\'ve "sucked" the whole time with Sony, hehe.

I have a feeling people are getting overly excited about this.. like everytime a little bit of news like this comes out... Like always it has been overblown by the media.. Square will soon make an offical statement.. watch it be next to nothing
