Ok so today is a weird day for the wii :?

'Crystal Tools' is the new name of Square Enix's company-wide 3-D game development engine, and it'll support Wii.

This certainly raises my hopes for more JRPGs on a Nintendo console. We'll see...

This basically confirms that Square will develop a lot of games on the Wii. Dragon Quest 10, FF14 are all possibilities.

yeah but the engine will have to be completely redisigned and will completely different in terms of what you can do. don't take this to mean that FF13 and versus will go to wii just a chance that they will make other JRPG's on wii

So this means that all consoles including PC can use this engine.

Ah, the White Engine, the same engine Cows used to love to say could only be done on the PS3. Good times. :) Good news for everyone as it means lots of Squenix to go around, as opposed to last gen where it was PS2 all the time. Everyone wins! Yay for the era of multiplat!

It could only be done on PS3... in the state it was in at that time. :wink:

Square-Enix needed to take steps to make it work on other platforms.

Wow that's great news. Looks like the Wii is getting great rpg dev support. Atlus, Square/Enix, Namco/Bandai.
