Play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles without a GameCube-GBA cable in January

The new, HD version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles now has a firm release date for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, iOS and Android.

You’ll be able to play the game on 23rd January 2020, Square Enix has announced, which is a little later than expected.

Crystal Chronicles originally launched on the GameCube back in 2003 (and the following year in the US and Europe). A spin-off of the main Final Fantasy series created especially for Nintendo’s purple platform, it was famous for its multiplayer mode which required you link up Game Boy Advances using a cable.

This new remastered version does away with all that, of course.

We’ve been waiting for it a while – it was originally announced a year ago for Switch and PS4, and then at E3 for iOS and Android. Back then, it was set for winter 2019 – but after so long, another month or two won’t hurt.
