Not to mention that it's totally being re-done in 3D. Might even be plenty of additions to the title since the cartridge has more to work with.

No solid confirmation, unfortunately.

It's all rumors for now.

The original?

More than definite.

A 3D remake?

Highly doubt it.

Then again, I can TOTALLY see Nintendo using NiWiFi to release a 3D remake via chapter downloads. How cool would THAT be?

i dunno if you guys knew about this, and yes, this is off-topic slightly, but there was a fan remake of chrono trigger completely in 3d. it looked fuckin gorgeous. then square got word of it and sent them a cease and desist letter. google "chrono trigger remake project" or something like that.

supposedly it's still going to be completed, but only for personal use. no public release.

There were 2, actually. The lesser known one, Chrono Ressurection, is usually passed over when discussing the topic of the Chrono Trigger remake. Remake Project definitely showed off some amazing screenshots and if memory serves me right, there was even a video showcasing various events.

New DS Lites headed to Japan
Final Fantasy III edition of white hardware drops August 24, with Jet Black counterpart set for September 2 release.
By Walt Wyman, GameSpot
Posted Jul 12, 2006 9:55 am PT

Just a couple of weeks after Nintendo unveiled the peppy new Noble Pink model of its DS Lite, Japanese gamers have a couple more versions of the hardware to consider.

First off, when the DS version of Final Fantasy III launches August 24, it will leave its mark on the system in more than one way. Famitsu.com disclosed today the game will launch bundled with a special edition Crystal White DS Lite. The DS will feature characters sketched by none other than FFIII character designer Akihiko Yoshida. Each unit will also be stamped with a unique serial number. The bundle will retail for 22,780 yen (roughly $197). Of course, the game will also be available separately for 5,980 yen (about $52).

Meanwhile, Nintendo revealed that the DS Lite will be getting another, more somber variation. The Jet Black DS is scheduled to hit store shelves in Japan on September 2; it has been available in Europe since the handheld went on sale there last month. As with the rest of the DS Lite lineup, the Jet Black variation will retail for 16,800 yen (about $144).

That's totally badass.

Posted by Moongoose on Jul-14-2006 12:33:

Final Fantasy III Update - The Mognet Goes Wi-Fi
Neither sleet nor snow shall stay these valiant mail-carrying moogles from their appointed rounds. We get the scoop on the wireless mail functionality in Square Enix's upcoming RPG remake.
By Brad Shoemaker, GameSpot
Posted Jul 20, 2006 11:37 am PT

Since E3, Square Enix has been urging role-playing game fans to "complete the fantasy" later this year, when the RPG magnate releases Final Fantasy III for the Nintendo DS. After all, the game previously existed only on the Japanese Famicom and, thus, is the one entry in the Final Fantasy pantheon never to be released in the Western hemisphere, nor in English. Luckily, the new release will be far more than a simple port of the 16-year-old game. As anyone who's been keeping up with this remake's progress knows by now, Final Fantasy III will appear on the DS with a full 3D makeover.

From the sound of it, Final Fantasy III will be getting more than just a cosmetic upgrade; Square Enix appears to be adding some new features to the existing gameplay as well. Longtime fans of the series will remember the Mognet feature in Final Fantasy IX on the PlayStation, which let you send mail to in-game characters, as well as help deliver letters between various characters to pick up a few side quests. A similar mail feature was also included in the GameCube-exclusive Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Square Enix tipped us off that the Mognet will be making a return appearance in FFIII on the DS, this time with more functionality than ever.

It looks as though this mail system will work similarly to the way it did in FFIX: you'll be able to approach any of the moogles inhabiting the game world and speak to them, which will let you then send mail to any character you've met previously on your journey. This will sometimes let you open up new quests that will yield rewards you wouldn't be able to access otherwise. In the example shown in our new screenshots, the player has sent another character a letter asking how the person's kids are doing. Through this exchange, it becomes apparent the children have wandered into a dangerous cavern and become lost, which establishes a side quest that will have you delving into the cave to rescue the little troublemakers (and no doubt defeating some nefarious enemies in the process). Presumably, you'll be able to pick up some nice items and such by completing side quests like this one.

What's more, Final Fantasy III's Mognet will let you use the DS's Wi-Fi capability to send mail to other players who have the game. Though it's not clear yet whether this will be possible over the Internet or merely through local wireless, the former option is certainly more sensible, since there wouldn't be much point in sending an in-game message to someone with whom you're already physically in the same place. At any rate, Square Enix says it'll be revealing more information on the Mognet feature as development continues, so in the near future we'll have more info on how exactly this will work.

The DS has been a little light on RPGs since its release, so we're all the more excited about getting a Final Fantasy on Nintendo's capable little handheld--and a brand-new one at that, at least for fans who don't speak Japanese. The visuals look great so far; will the antique RPG gameplay stand the test of time? We'll find out when Final Fantasy III ships in early October, and we'll bring you more as soon as possible.
