Unique cross-platform online multiplayer will allow play between "almost any combination of the DS and Wii versions" of the new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles title.
In an email newsletter to its European fans, Square-Enix has stated that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is set to launch across the region for both Wii and Nintendo DS in the Spring of 2009.
Echoes of Time will reprise both the local co-operative multiplayer modes and handheld-to-console connectivity of the original Crystal Chronicles title for GameCube, but will make use of unique cross-platform play—both locally and online—for Wii and DS. As Square-Enix puts it, this will mean that "you and three of your friends can play together, with almost any combination of the DS and Wii versions of the game."
