For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, with a nearly 40-year history and a need to reach new generations of players (not to mention boost sales!), Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multi-platform releases. Besides PC ports, they've also brought a significant number of remasters and special editions to Nintendo's handhelds.
This isn't entirely new; Final Fantasy's connection to Nintendo goes back to its origins on the Famicom in 1987. In fact, the first six mainline entries debuted on Nintendo systems before Square Enix shifted primarily to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.
With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a notable Magic: The Gathering expansion highlighting the series in 2025, many are eager to explore or revisit the franchise. Below is a complete list of Final Fantasy games currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
