According to ITMedia, Square Enix has set August 24 as the Japanese launch date for the DS remake of Final Fantasy III. The suggested retail price is 5,980 yen ($53). By comparison, the majority of Japanese DS titles are priced in the 2,800-4,800 yen ($25-$43) range. The North American release is currently slated for September.
The original Final Fantasy III for the NES was released in 1990 and sold more than 1 million copies. This remake marks FFIII's first ever appearance on another hardware platform (a Final Fantasy III was released on the SNES in 1994, but it was actually the US version of Final Fantasy VI), and first localized version of the game. The DS version will feature improved sound and 3D graphics as well as support for the DS's native touch-screen and wireless features.
