Gaming Final Fantasy Remakes for DS

[zidane_genome]

The Nintendo 64DD ("DD" being short for "Disk Drive") is an expansion system for the Nintendo 64. It was named the "Dynamic Drive" at the start of its development, and plugs into the N64 through the EXTension Port of the Nintendo 64's bottom side. It was a commercial failure, and was never released outside of Japan.

At E3 in 1997, Shigeru Miyamoto speculated that the first games to be released for the new system would be SimCity 64, Mario Artist, Pocket Monsters, and Earthbound 64.

The N64DD has a 32-bit coprocessor to help it read magnetic disks, and to transfer data to the main console. It was intended to be Nintendo's answer to the Compact Disc that was used for Sony's PlayStation, which was cheaper to produce. Sony's CD storage could hold approximately 650 megabytes (MB) of information, compared to the Nintendo 64's 4 to 64 megabytes (MB) cartridge. It was never meant to read CD's.

Sony never had any joint ventures with Nintendo... it was Philips who was working with Nintendo for a CD based system, and when the fallout happened, they went and created the Philips CD-i game system, which had several Nintendo titles, because of the contract Philips had with Nintendo. These titles include the 3 bastard children Zelda games.

Umm yes they did. The deal was cancelled because the Big N didn't like what Sony was pushing for in the contract, Sony tried to sue and lost. Nobody ever said anything about the 64DD. The add-on was for the Super Nintendo not the Nintendo 64. Read the history section here on its wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation

I hope psp gets VII first, that would piss me off, but if the ds predicessor gets it, it would be a huge kick in the nuts for sony!

you can already play VII on the PSP

According to the book "Game Over", by David Scheff, the first conceptions of the PlayStation date back to 1986. Nintendo had been attempting to work with disc technology since the Famicom, but the medium had problems.

FAMICOM... which was the NES... or the SUPER FAMICOM (US title, Super Nintendo) It even states about the SNES-CD... I was talking about the N64, I'm sorry if it sounded like I was talking about anything other than the 64

I also made a mistake of quoting everything you said and not just the first sentence in your last paragraph.

I read in a magazine that SONY and Nintendo ever had a deal about FAMICOM Disk System, the idea was to create a disk as FAMICOM games's medium, but SONY, half-way in development created SONY PlayStation, whether it uses the technology both developed I don't know. And so Nintendo and SONY broke the contract.

It also states that Super Nintendo's sound card was SONY-made.

Hell, I wonder what was they working on?

 

[Private|Par]

Do bears poop in the woods? Of course there's more FF remakes planned. Because Square will NOT let this series die. EVER.

EDIT:: Nintendo have "recovered" from the Wii? What do you mean by that, Stickell?

 

[Cermage]

Nintendo had up to six I believe...So VII, VIII, IX will prob be for a Sony system since it was origionally created on the PS.

Should this matter? 1/2/4/5/6/Chrono Trigger were all on the Playstation

they all were originally on SNES/NES. Squeenix put 1-6 and CT on the PS simply because it dominated its generation, they all were direct ports.

I wouldn't be surprised if 5 and 6 got remakes, in fact i'd be extremely happy.

 

[kevenka]

That's what I was going to say...

The games he listed were origionally from nintendo(Final Fantasy VII isn't)

 

[jaz]

Needs Chrono Trigger

 

[Raestloz]

Is Chrono Trigger really that good?

 

[astoriacrew12]

Chrono Trigger was one of the best action-rpg's on the Super NES. I'm surprised that Square-Enix hasn't re-released or even remade CT. Don't get me wrong, FF remakes are good, but where's the other classics? Actraiser anyone?

Soul Blazer for SNES is a classic also, it were made by Enix.

 

[Stickell]

I was just talking to a friend yesterday about how they should make chronotrigger for the nds! that would be awesome!

yes. Yes it would. Honestly, I don't know why they aren't doing anything with CT? unless that they are planning to do it but keeping it a secret

 

[misanthrope]

I already have 5 and 6 on the GBA, but sadly I would probably douple dip at least 5 since I'd love to see all the classes looks on 3d, and will probably double dip 6 if they include voice acting as well...

 

[Stickell]

It is agreed, CT will kick ass, now we need to make nintendo do somethign about it. i hope they come out with golden sun 3 on ds! that would be cool too

 

[Maverick_z]

I would think that if they did 5 and 6 they would do it like 4-start from scratch like redesigning it, make it 3D, probably add new jobs/abilities (mainly for 5 maybe for 6 Sabin's Blitzes), and add Voice Acting/CG/FMV

 

[knightguy363]

i think ff7 was the best one

If they do remake 6 I want to use the touch screen for blitzes!
