WiiWare – Final Fantasy 4 After Years Prologue
Final Fantasy IV comes to WiiWare sporting nine episodic downloads of Final Fantasy IV goodness. Wait a second Nine Episodes? I sure hope Square doesn’t expect us to pay 1,000 Nintendo points an episode. Also was this not a downloadable game on some phones in Japan not to long ago? Update: Screen Shots added, and After Years is going to have support for 1-4 players, which should add a grea...
