Square Enix, one of the most renowned Japanese video game publishers, has officially announced the highly anticipated physical releases of classic Final Fantasy titles for the Nintendo Switch in North America.
Fans can soon add the Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Twin Pack as well as Final Fantasy IX to their physical collections, as these editions will arrive on Nintendo Switch starting December 9, 2025. Historically, these physical editions were distributed exclusively in select markets, with regions outside of North America often receiving the earliest access.
With this announcement, North American players will have the opportunity to own definitive cartridge versions of some of the franchise’s most beloved titles.
Each physical release is priced at $39.99 and pre-orders are currently open on the official Square Enix website. A statement from Square Enix highlighted the appeal of portable, timeless adventures: "Experience three legendary Final Fantasy journeys anytime and anywhere: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, and Final Fantasy IX will be available as physical editions on Nintendo Switch for North American fans starting December 9, 2025." This marks the first time these physical versions will be widely available in the region, expanding access beyond previous limited releases. The Final Fantasy VII & VIII Remastered Twin Pack features both games on a single Nintendo Switch cartridge, ensuring a hassle-free experience without the need for additional downloads.
This commitment to convenience will be welcome news for collectors and newcomers alike, especially as physical media remains in high demand among Switch enthusiasts. In addition to these releases, Square Enix continues to celebrate the legacy of its flagship RPG series on Nintendo platforms.
Most recently, the company confirmed plans to launch Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for the upcoming Switch 2 console in early 2026, promising a fresh generation of high-fidelity role-playing adventure.
Furthermore, fans can now enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles, broadening the franchise’s strategy gameplay offerings on Nintendo hardware. As the Nintendo Switch celebrates enduring popularity with RPG franchises, these new physical Final Fantasy releases provide both nostalgia and accessibility for long-time fans and new players alike.
