Square Enix's iPhone/iPod Touch only title Crystal Defenders is exclusive no more: the company has revealed it will be bringing it to WiiWare, PlayStation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA).

The game uses many character classes from the Final Fantasy Tactics universe. Japan is getting it January 27 on WiiWare (for 1,000 Wii Points), with the other versions, reportedly different somehow, not dated or priced yet.

The WiiWare version of the game is titled Crystal Defenders R1. We're not sure what's new for the WiiWare version, although the basic goal of positioning troops in order to defeat monsters before they reach a goal point is unchanged.

Wi-Fi Connection support will be included. The magazine does not share details, but we're going to presume this will be limited to some form of download content, as Crystal Defenders is a single player game.

Famitsu is a bit unclear on the matter, but it appears that the WiiWare version will differ from the XLA and PSN versions. The magazine refers to the latter two versions as being evolved ports of the mobile title. It does not use the word "port" to describe the WiiWare version. The WiiWare version is actually the focus of the story, so it's presumable that further details on the other two versions will be shared in a future update.

    Whats this game about? I am interested because its finally something non-Final Fantasy. Even if it has FFT characters, its not an actual FF game.

    So it's essentially a tower defense game?

    If so, then I'll most definitely check this baby out.
