Western game companies are doing really well! Meaning that competition is getting harder. Yet, Wada hopes to capitalise on the Western market, aiming to increase the ratio of overseas sales from its current 50 percent to 80 percent in the next three years. According to the exec: We face competition not only from Japanese videogame companies but from game companies worldwide. We also see some new players from outside the videogame industry coming in... Economies of scale and breadth of scope is getting important. It may be a business alliance or it may be us taking a stake in others, but we need to go beyond traditional Square Enix. That business alliance sounds nice and all. But, how about stop calling everything Final Fantasy? Or make things other than RPGs? Or if you are going to make RPGs, why not make the games people have been asking for for the past decade? news May 20, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/nintendods/News-37853.aspx For the first time ever Europeans can now play the legendary Final Fantasy III in English. The Nintendo DS remake has shipped today and can be found at most video game stores across Europe for the MSRP of US $39.99. news May 4, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/nintendods/News-37464.aspx The DS remake of Final Fantasy III is about to launch across Europe this Friday, but it could have been a different story if Nintendo hadn't stepped in and persuaded Square Enix to go with the DS. The company's original plan was to release the remake on the old, faithful PlayStation 2. But there seems to have been a bit of a last minute bidding war from Nintendo. news May 2, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ds/f/the-dark-side-of-final-fantasy/a-20070410102531405030/g-20060228211346280099 We expose the seedy underbelly of the popular franchise feature Apr 10, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/nintendods/News-34082.aspx The third issue of GamerZine's free handheld gaming magazine is out and includes reviews of Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Final Fantasy II, Harvest Moon, Virtua Tennis 3 and loads more.
