===Nintendo consoles=== After the PlayStation, Tose then ported the game to the [[Game Boy Advance]], on which it was released as ''Final Fantasy VI Advance''. It was released in Japan by Square Enix on November 30, 2006, with [[Nintendo]] handling publishing in North America on February 5, 2007, and in Europe on July 6.<ref name="gbaeuro">{{cite web | title= Final Fantasy VI Advance for Game Boy Advance | website = [[GameSpot]] | url= http://www.gamespot.com/gba/rpg/finalfantasyviadvance/similar.html?mode=versions | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100219075743/http://www.gamespot.com/gba/rpg/finalfantasyviadvance/similar.html?mode=versions | archive-date= 2010-02-19 | access-date = 2010-03-26}}</ref> It was the last game to be released on the Game Boy Advance in Asia, as well as the last one to be published by Nintendo on the system. It includes additional gameplay features, slightly improved visuals, and a new translation that follows Japanese naming conventions for the spells and monsters. It does not, however, have the full-motion videos from the PlayStation version of the game. Four new espers appear in ''Advance'': [[Leviathan]], [[Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy)|Gilgamesh]], [[Cactuar]], and Diabolos. Two new areas include the Dragons' Den dungeon, which includes the Kaiser Dragon, a monster coded, but not included, in the original, and a "Soul Shrine", a place where the player can fight monsters continuously. Three new spells also appear, and several bugs from the original are fixed. In addition, similarly to the other handheld ''Final Fantasy'' re-releases, a bestiary and a music player are included. Even in the Japanese version, the music player is in English and uses the American names, e.g. ''Strago'' over ''Stragus''.<ref name="FF6Guide">{{cite book |title= Final Fantasy VI Official Complete Guide |date=January 2007 |publisher= Square Enix| location= Japan |language= ja |isbn= 978-4-7575-1846-9 |page= 011}}</ref> The package features new artwork by series veteran and original character and image designer [[Yoshitaka Amano]].<ref name="Villoria2007">{{cite web|url=http://uk.gba.gamespy.com/gameboy-advance/final-fantasy-vi/764893p1.html|title=Final Fantasy VI Advance|last=Villoria|first=Gerald|date=2007-02-14|publisher=[[GameSpy]]|access-date=2014-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130731010118/http://uk.gba.gamespy.com/gameboy-advance/final-fantasy-vi/764893p1.html|archive-date=2013-07-31}}</ref> The original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] version was released for the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] in Japan on March 15, 2011,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://andriasang.com/comu4w/virtual_console_march/ |title=Final Fantasy VI Set for Virtual Console |author=Gantayat, Anoop |date=2011-02-25 |publisher=andriasang.com |access-date=2011-02-26 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121225041129/http://andriasang.com/comu4w/virtual_console_march/ |archive-date=2012-12-25}}</ref> in PAL territories (Europe and Australia) on March 18, and in North America on June 30.<ref name=Siliconera>{{cite web|title=Final Fantasy VI Finally Hits The U.S. Virtual Console |url=http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/30/final-fantasy-vi-finally-hits-the-u-s-virtual-console/ |work=Siliconera |date=June 30, 2011 |access-date=2011-06-30 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110704223401/http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/30/final-fantasy-vi-finally-hits-the-u-s-virtual-console/ |archive-date=2011-07-04}}</ref> The game was released in the West with its original North American title of ''Final Fantasy III''.<ref name=autogenerated3>{{cite web|author=Spencer |title=Final Fantasy VI Moogle Slamming Virtual Console In North America |url=http://www.siliconera.com/2011/04/16/final-fantasy-vi-moogle-slamming-virtual-console-in-north-america/ |work=Siliconera |date=April 16, 2011 |access-date=2011-04-18 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110420131753/http://www.siliconera.com/2011/04/16/final-fantasy-vi-moogle-slamming-virtual-console-in-north-america/ |archive-date=2011-04-20}}</ref> The Super Famicom version was later released on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan.
