I think you mean IV (FF2-US) and VI (FF3-US). I have no idea, although my guess is... no. As someone else has pointed out, FF4 and Chrono Trigger were recently re-released on the DS, so there's going to be pressure not to release cheaper versions on VC.

Available now.

This is actually a good idea...too bad a 32 GB SD card costs about $100, bringing the total cost of a Wii with a decent storage solution up to...$350, just as expensive as a Premium XBOX 360.

Oops, Nintendo! Looks like rebranded GameCubes with gimmicky controls don't provide the "best customer value" at all...

16GB SDHC cards cost ~$35, and considering how small all the virtual console games are, is plenty enough space.

I'm sure I just saw a Class 6 16GB card selling for $28 at NewEgg, so that does seem like a decently cost effective way of expanding the storage capacity.
