At some point in January, Japanese Wii owners will be able to buy Final Fantasy V all over again when the Super Famicom classic arrives on the Virtual Console over there. The Virtual Console release will cost Wii owners 800 points when it eventually arrives.
There’s no word on the game’s international re-release, but given FFV‘s popularity, it would make sense if North American and European releases weren’t too far behind. It’s unknown which version of the game would be used if and when the title becomes available for international markets, given that official translations of the game weren’t available until the game’s debut on the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance.
Either way, any release should tide fans over until we get further word on that possible 3DS remake of the game…
