"Final Fantasy 7" remake might be heading to the Nintendo NX, as well as a 2017 release date for the PlayStation 4 console.
Several rumors and speculations are making rounds that Square Enix plans on having "Final Fantasy 7" remake for Nintendo's new game console, Nintendo NX, making the remake not an exclusive game for the PS4 console. The first speculation came when Nintendo announce that famed "FFVII" main character Cloud Strife is included in the new "Super Smash Bros." roster for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Given the history between Sony and Nintendo, these two companies never had a good relationship ever since Square Enix decided to partner up with Sony during the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 days, with the reasons being that both Square Enix and Nintendo had several disagreements, Tech Times reported.
