Crystal Guardians Goes All Console On Us

If you live in Japan, there's a good chance that you've heard of Crystal Guardians. It's kind of a simplified SRPG set in the Final Fantasy Tactics universe that was made for mobile phones over there.

But what if you don't have a Japanese cell phone? Well, Square Enix is happy to announce that they will now be willing to take your money for the game even if you only game on consoles. How nice of them!

Ported as Crystal Defenders R1, Crystal Guardians will be making its way to WiiWare on January 27, 2009 in Japan, for 1000 Wii Points.

Meanwhile, Square Enix has also announced that their iPod Touch/iPhone port of the game, called Crystal Defenders, will be ported to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network sometime this spring. It features widescreen support and better graphics.

Well, uh, I'm not sure what to say about this. Yay? I guess it's better than not being able to play it, right?

Anyone looking forward to playing cell phone games on your consoles?
