Or TWO, possibly. Depends on when they start development.

When it was versus yes. When it was re-announced as 15 it was announced for both. The e3 trailer has both logos.

When they were talking about how they've developed the game, they basically said there was a chance for a PC version. At this point I don't know why you don't have one.

Remember that FFCC is now 10 years old or so. The four GBAs gimmick was just ten years ago. Nintendo went from a huge joke to a slightly less (more?) joke in ten years time! But at least the Gamecube Wii U has Twin Snakes Mario Kart!

No one could play FFCC with each other because we didn't have four gba's. No one can play a Wii U with each other because no one has a Wii U.

As bad as things may be at Squeenix, it is more likely another move at Sony to regroup, refocus, consolidate so they can survive. They're struggling in every sector except insurance. Insurance!

Square is having monetary difficulties as well, but they're fluid and TINY compared to Sony, and still may wend their way out from under their troubles. Sony is more likely looking at a protracted death spiral unless they get support from the Japanese government, or are bought by another zaibatsu like Matsushita.

So, that gives Squeenix about 5 years then.

I thought I'd read that they were "getting out of TVs by 20XX," which is great, because when they finally get out of TVs, I'll be in the video game worlds of Mega Man and Tecmo's coin-op Ninja Gaiden. I can't wait to be doing backflips off of jutting flagpoles and canopies.

:hyper

**googles a bit**

Shit, apparently it's only Mega Man and Seven Samurai. F that noise.

SONY, NEVERMIND, STAY IN TV PRODUCTION. I CAN'T STAND KOREAN GOODS.
