Classic Square RPGs going cellular

Japanese FOMA 900i series phones will ship with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

TOKYO--Square Enix announced today that it will be releasing two of its classic RPG titles on mobile phones in Japan. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy--the original Famicom/NES titles that started the two epic RPG series--will be distributed for the FOMA 900i series cell phones in Japan. The graphics used in both titles will be redrawn to support the high specifications of the phone, which can display up to 65,000 colors on its 240 x 320 resolution TFT screen.

Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy for the FOMA 900i series will also be downloadable from the game's sites, which are accessible from mobile phones at the flat rate of 500 yen a month. The site also offers other downloadable content, such as ringtones, and Macromedia Flash animated wallpapers. Square Enix will launch the site on March 1.

it may just be me, but I really am not interested in playing games on my phone. You know, because a phone is a phone, not a game platform. I guess some simple shit to pass the time on a commute is cool, but I'm not about to sit around the house playing a fucking rpg on a square inch screen.

Also, camera phones suck. You know why? Because they take suck ass pictures.
