When we developed FF3, the volume of content in the game was so huge that the cartridge was completely full, and when new platforms emerged, there simply wasn’t enough storage space available for an update of FF3, because that would have required new graphics, music and other content. In 2007 Hiromichi Tanaka explained why the Wonderswan remake was canned:

This 3D remake, very different from the 2D remake proposed for Wonderswan, would be made available on PSP, iOS and Android years after the original DS release. Later, after a brief rumor on a possible remake on PlayStation 2, Final Fantasy 3 was unveiled as new 3D remake for Nintendo DS that eventually sold around 2 million units worldwide. This cancellation was especially notable because the Final Fantasy remakes, which were bundled with the system, were the biggest sellers on Wonderswan Color. Final Fantasy III shared the same destiny although it was shown on the official Squaresoft site: Final Fantasy III Wonderswan archieved site However not all of these games would seen a release at retail as Seiken Densetsu 2 was never seen again. The first projects announced were the remake of the first three Final Fantasy, a chocobo game, Romancing SaGa and a port of Seiken Densetsu 2 (known as Secret of Mana in the west). This console was especially sought after because around December 1999 Bandai struck a deal with Squaresoft to bring their games to the console. Bandai‘s Wonderswan was an handheld system released exclusively in Japan in 1999.
