Breaking News: Square Enix has just announced "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers" for Nintendo Wii, also available at launch.

1:56 Pacific Time

Breaking News: Square Enix has just announced a new Dragon Quest game, titled "Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors" exclusively for Nintendo Wii. It will be available at launch.

If you're both a Nintendo and a Square Enix fan, you might want to have a seat. Sources close to Nintendo tell IGN that the publisher of the acclaimed Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest franchises is in development with not one, but two titles for the Big N's new generation Wii console. The games will allegedly be unveiled to the world prior to the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2006 at today's Square Enix pre-event media conference, which begins shortly.

Square Enix officially announced at last year's E3 that it was underway with a Wii sequel to the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series, which originated on GameCube as a multiplayer-centric RPG with real-time battle mechanics. Crystal Chronicles was developed by Q-Fund-backed Game Designer's Studio and Square Enix, and published by Nintendo. The title received a solid 7.6 rating from IGN for its lush visuals and intriguing storyline, but the game's reliance on Game Boy Advance controller functionality and link cables at times made its touted multiplayer mode a chore.

Square Enix has not released any new information about the Wii sequel to Crystal Chronicles, but Nintendo fans can undoubtedly look forward to a title that continues the basics of the first game while adding free-hand style controller compatibility and, quite possibly, an online multiplayer cooperative mode.

As for the second Square Enix Wii title, sources stop just shy of slipping us the name, but one insider we chatted with did allege that it's a game which will "make Japanese RPG fans very, very happy." Uh, with Final Fantasy already announced, only one other Square Enix series comes to our mind: Dragon Quest.

Square Enix's DQ titles have remained throughout the years the perfect alternative and, more recently, complement to its Final Fantasy projects, offering up epic storylines and robust fighting systems. Like Final Fantasy, the Dragon Quest games are some of the best-sellers in Japan on a regular basis. Unlike Final Fantasy, which graced GameCube in 2004, Dragon Quest has not seen a Nintendo console since the days of the Super NES.

Still...will Squeenix let SMRPG be a downloadable for the Wiggy's retro library? -------------------- "We are morally obligated to enjoy this." --623 (Mutsumi) "He was a stubborn foe...but I'm CRAZY!!
