I'm calling it right now -- Final Fantasy VII Remake for Nintendo 3DS.

That system is going to break every sales record in Japan and sell a giga-ton worldwide, and Square-Enix knows it and will be ready to cash in and maybe even secretly they've been holding off on development of such a title until the DS successor was ready. Now it is from the looks of things.

If it goes on anything other than an HD console....There will be riots

Don't worry, I'm sure there'll be a Wii2 version.

360/720 (timed) exclusive confirmed



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

I would laugh endlessly if this was on the 3DS

I'd also finally kill Ruby and Emerald I guess

Get ready for riots then. 

3DS IS the Japanese gaming future ... not consoles. It would also quite nicely solve S-E's dilemma about a FF7 Remake costing too much money on the HD consoles ... if the 3DS is about GameCube level hardware, it would be much cheaper to produce and sell just as much if not more and still offer a large visual upgrade from the PSOne original, along with the whole 3D buzz. 

This system is going to get tons of primo Japanese 3rd party support.

I'd rather have Square Enix make a Xenogears Remake for the PSP.

 



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

They need to go in order

FF5 & FF6 will be remade for 3DS

Then the FF7 Remake should be a PS4 launch title, ideally.

Personally I am looking forward to the FF6 remake the most.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Final Fantasy VII Remake and Monster Hunter 3D will be on 3DS. Dragon Quest X Portable Edition or something like that will likely show up too at some point.

Other IPs that haven't been on the DS yet like Metal Gear and Soul Calibur will also make the transition to 3DS I think now that it's likely to have a more capable 3D chipset.

Consoles like the PS3 will become increasingly irrelevant in Japan.
