Square continues to support WonderSwan

[09.15.01] » Several remakes, crutches in the works.

    Square is hard at work on a total of six remakes for the WonderSwan Color. The first three can be found on the official WSC website filling out the system's meager release list: Romancing SaGa, Front Mission, and the previously announced Final Fantasy III remake.

    IGN Pocket reports on the other three. The Super Famicom version of Hanjuku Eiyuu (Half-Cooked Hero) is also on deck for a makeover, as is the original Makaitoushi SaGa, released here as Final Fantasy Legend for the Game Boy. Last is the rumored Dice de Chocobo, an adaptation of the bizarre PlayStation board game included in Japan's Chocobo Collection.

    More information will follow if and when it materializes, but the reader is not advised to hold his or her breath. Only two of the six games have even received release periods -- Romancing SaGa is tentatively set for a December release, Final Fantasy III for a vague "2002" -- and with the WonderSwan Color marooned in Japan, not one of them stands a chance of being released in the States.
