FFI now on Wii Virtual Console

News---

Those of you that want to relive the original 8-bit Final Fantasy game, can now do so on Wii Virtual Console. The game is available for purchase for 500 Wii Points ($5). Square Enix has already released Final Fantasy I in a few compilations and portable titles, so hopefully we can begin to watch more classic FF titles continue to appear.

Is FFI also available on the EU market? In case there's a difference.

I hope this will mean we'll get imported japanese versions of the game like FFIIj, FFIIIj, and FFV for that matter.

I've been waiting a very long time for this game to come out on Virtual Console and I was very excited to see it on there on Friday after school.

I downloaded it immediately and right now, I've defeated the pirates at the second town, and I'm wandering around the overworld.

Just a question for anyone who did download it: Did they leave in all the broken stuff, such as the spells or items that don't work properly? I'm going to assume it's just a direct port of the NES original, but I'd be absolutly overjoyed if they fixed it up before launching it.

I haven't gotten very far in the game (I'm at the village with the silver weapons and armor. But so far I haven't noticed any weird glitches or bugs. I'll let you know if I notice anything.

**Sharpshooter** · 08-29-2010, 08:56 PM

Damn it sucks I don't have a wii, and I probably will never be able to =/
My only chance of ever playing this game would be through the 20th anniversary edition for the PSP

**jd4** · 03-28-2011, 12:06 AM

is there much difference between the PSP version and the Wii version?

and how you play it on wii???

**Cain Highwind** · 03-29-2011, 11:05 AM

Pretty big difference. The Wii "version" is actually just the original NES version emulated. The PSP version is a full fledged remake.

**jd4** · 03-31-2011, 11:01 PM

i never played or have never seen the original NES version, can you give me some examples of the differences?

I know that there will be a huge difference in graphics, but is there any difference in gameplay/story/equipment/... ?

**ZenMonkey59** · 06-07-2011, 02:33 PM

I'm finally getting a Wii today (taking my Dad's because he never plays it). First order of business is to download this and FF2. Can't wait to get the console home!
