Final Fantasy Physical Editions for Nintendo Switch Set for North American Release in December 2025

Square Enix has officially announced the long-awaited North American release of physical editions for several beloved Final Fantasy classics on the Nintendo Switch, further expanding the franchise’s reach on the popular platform.

Fans will be able to purchase the Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Twin Pack and Final Fantasy IX as standalone physical cartridges beginning December 9, 2025.

Priced at $39.99 each, both products are now available for pre-order directly on the Square Enix website. Initially launched as physical releases in select international markets during the Switch’s peak years, these editions quickly became collector’s items.

The forthcoming North American versions ensure that collectors and longtime fans alike will have access to these legendary role-playing experiences in physical format.

According to information provided on the official Square Enix website, the Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Twin Pack conveniently bundles both titles on a single cartridge, eliminating the need for any additional downloads. "Gamers can enjoy three timeless adventures wherever and whenever they choose," Square Enix stated, confirming the December launch for the Nintendo Switch in North America.

This move reflects Square Enix’s ongoing commitment to bringing its storied franchises to new audiences and preserving classic games for future generations on modern hardware like the Nintendo Switch. These iconic entries—Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy IX—have played a pivotal role in shaping the RPG landscape, with millions of copies sold across various platforms since their original debuts.

Their availability on the Nintendo Switch further highlights the platform’s appeal among fans of classic Japanese RPGs. In addition to these releases, Square Enix recently announced plans to bring Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to the Switch successor, provisionally referred to as Switch 2, with a launch scheduled for early next year.

The company also rolled out Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles, demonstrating its ongoing support for both the current and next-generation Nintendo platforms. With nostalgia-driven demand for physical game releases at an all-time high, these upcoming editions offer collectors and RPG enthusiasts the opportunity to revisit or experience for the first time some of the most celebrated titles in gaming history, all optimized for portability on the Nintendo Switch.

Pre-orders are currently open, and availability is expected to be robust upon release.

For those eager to enrich their physical Switch collection, December 2025 marks a major milestone for Final Fantasy fans in North America.
