Square Enix Bringing Final Fantasy III to OUYA as a Launch Title

The OUYA is finally getting support from a major publisher as today Square Enix has announced (via press release) its intentions to bring Final Fantasy III to the open-source console as a launch title.

For those wondering, yes, this is the version of Final Fantasy III that was first remade in 3D for the DS back in 2006 (and subsequently released for iOS since), and it will be fully optimized for the OUYA when it launches. In addition, the game will be getting a free-to-try demo as well as renewed controller support.

Square Enix also states that they are interested in bringing other games to the OUYA as well. While nothing else is official, one can't help but wonder if Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions might be next on OUYA. After all, the game did get ported to iOS in the past few years as well.

Whatever happens, it seems that Square Enix is now officially onboard with the OUYA.
