VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy

Rolling Thunder doesn't really follow the theme at all, but it is awesome -- if you haven't played it, it's kind of a spy-themed Shinobi thing. It's welcome on the Virtual Console even though it's not a Final Fantasy game.
Virtual Console:
- Final Fantasy III (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
- Rolling Thunder (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (1-4 players, 800 Wii Points)
Final Fantasy III coming to the Virtual Console this month (in Japan)
Square Enix continues its assault on the Virtual Console in Japan with the third installment in the Final Fantasy series. Game Watch is reporting FInal Fantasy III will be available on the Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points some time this month. We'd be super excited about this, if not for the DS remake that had already released, which gave those of us in the West our first taste of this game. Would you prefer to play the original instead?

Final Fantasy III settles at $19.99
It's not the lowest price we've seen the remade Final Fantasy III sell for, but Gamestop's latest price drop isn't bounded by a sale period. Now that Final Fantasy IV is on the way, it's just the right time to drop Final Fantasy III to $20 and use it as a marketing tool for the new game. That's our theory, anyway. That's not to say you necessarily have to feel like a pawn in some devious plan -- you can just buy a cheap game and enjoy hours and hours of dungeons and leveling. Cheap RPGs are great, because you get so much entertainment for the price.
