Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time employs quite a little gimmick: simultaneous Wii and DS play. That is, while you’re playing the DS version, you can pal up with your friend who’s playing the Wii version. This strange mestiçagem works by essentially “porting” the DS version to the Wii, which then translates the DS top-bottom alignment into a Wii left-right alignment.

How’s that for DS/Wii connectivity? The next thing we know, cats and dogs will be living together in perfect harmony.
