I have nothing negative to say about this. It's probably my favorite game of all time, and this will help more people play it for a very low price.
...but where the heck is FF6? Europe has been playing the U.S version on Virtual Console for the past month!

Wait for E3 next month. That is when they will most likely release the game. I just hope that we get more SNES classics like Turtles in Time and Rocket Knight.
Hey, it's on my Mom's birthday! ...which means I won't get a chance to play it that evening because I'll be visiting my family. D'oh.
But on Tuesday it is bought! Unless I find a physical SNES copy in the days between.
Um, how is this "DS" news?

Hey, I'm not complaining. I'll take Chrono Trigger over Final Fantasy VI any day of the week. I played the crap out of this game on SNES and DS, and I'll gladly pick it up on Virtual Console as well.
Um, how is this "DS" news?
The game was also released on DS in 2008.
I'm going to get this as soon as I can get the Reggies. Wish my new job had started already...

No duh... I own it. My point was this article has nothing to do with the DS release, and at the time they had it only classified as "DS" even though it was clearly about Wii.
I would be much more excited for this if it was going on the 3DS's eshop channel too.
I wonder if this will impact the prices of the actual cartridge... probably not.
