| Final Fantasy III |
Gamers who have been so excited about Ouya
have another reason to get giddy: the Android-based gaming console
forged a partnership with Square Enix to develop a console version of
“Final Fantasy III.”
Pitched on Kickstarter
crowd-funding website, Ouya is funded by almost 46,000 individuals and
has reached about $5.9 million–not bad for a project with a funding goal
of $950,000–with eight days left before deadline as of this posting.
Making FFIII playable on TV would be a milestone for this
role-playing game, as it would be the first time the title would be
available on a console outside Japan. Video gamers in the United States
never got the chance to play the 22-year-old game until it arrived to
Nintendo DS in 2006. The Ouya edition would be the first time Americans
will get to play the game on TV. FFIII for Ouya will be updated to
support HD televisions, along with some minor tweaks.
Having a major video game company like Square Enix, the publisher
behind the phenomenal Final Fantasy series among many other popular
titles, support this upstart gaming console says a lot on how the
company looks at the future of gaming.
