Video Gaming News - November 2004
Redmond, WA (November 29, 2004) - Nintendo today announced the release
of Final Fantasy I & II on the GBA.
From Nintendo:
As you and your trusted companions enter the dark dungeon, a wave of deja vu
sweeps over you: You've been here before, but somehow things feel different. Is
it a trick of the mind? A spell from an evil sorcerer? Or have you just
discovered the secret behind "Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls"?
Anyone who loves role-playing games has likely spent countless hours immersed in
the "Final Fantasy" universe, casting spells, fighting evil and embarking on
heroic missions. Nintendo now resurrects the original installments of the
multimillion-dollar Square Enix franchise that set the standard for role-playing
excitement and adds bonus content to make the adventures new and fresh for even
the most experienced players. "Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls," which
launches today for Game Boy Advance SP, lets players revisit familiar sagas
before throwing new challenges at them. Both games are contained on one game pak.
"Nintendo has taken two great games, added some twists and made the first true
`Final Fantasy' adventure portable," said George Harrison, Nintendo of America's
senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "It's easy to
guess how excited the dedicated `Final Fantasy' fans are about the new spin on
their beloved games."
The "Final Fantasy I" adventure follows four young adventurers as they use
swords and sorcery to help restore order to their chaotic world. Players will
discover a series of four bonus dungeons not found in the original game. Inside,
players will encounter and battle an array of monsters from "Final Fantasy"
games III through VI before fighting the final boss; to keep things interesting,
the layout of the dungeons changes every time.
In "Final Fantasy II," a band of orphans leads a resistance force to free the
world from the clutches of an evil empire. After four characters die in the main
game, a bonus storyline follows them into the afterlife as they fight to defeat
the emperor of Pandaemonium.
"Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls," Rated E for Everyone, is available now at
an MSRP of $34.99. "The Official Nintendo Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
Player's Guide," created by the editors of "Nintendo Power," is now available at
retail. For more information about the game, visit
