Ah, the original version of Final Fantasy II, the RPG that paved the way for the story driven Final Fantasy games and the SaGa series. Square Enix will re-release the Famicom version as a Virtual Console download for Nintendo 3DS.

While Final Fantasy II was remade and ported on nearly a dozen devices, the original release was quite difficult if you didn’t exploit hitting your own characters. Final Fantasy II is slated for release on February 12 for 500 yen.

King’s Knight, a vertical shmup with four different characters, is also coming to 3DS Virtual Console on February 5.
