I got my news of Square planning FF games for Nintendo's systems off an OFFICIAL source one of which is this months NOM!
You may be thinking of the OLD OLD OLD news where Square found the N64 too difficult to program for and decided to stay clear for the moment.
Don't confuse facts!

My sources told me that Square didn't want to stick with Nintendo because Nintendo wanted to stick with cartridges instead of converting to CD-ROM, which at that time Square saw no future in. So they got into bed with Sony instead.
Now that Nintendo are taking the CD-ROM path at last, Square are eager to program for their old buddies again.

That is rubbish... Square abandonned the N64 for completely different reasons:
1) More and more delays
2) They kept postponing dev kits, and the Nintendo chief said that at first "Nintenod would be the only company making games for it [n64]" and more would join later. NOA pres argued with this, and this broke unity in the company.
3) Square got the red carpet for Sony, and like many others got extra benefits from exclusivity, and help in the techical problems.
Hopefully nintendo have sorted this out?

Square said ages ago that they gave up making Final Fantasy games for Nintendo because the N64 was too hard to program for.
The new advanced technology "scared" them off and they couldn't keep up to the challenge of making games for the N64.
But the Gamecube is the easiest console to program for and Square said they are really happy to be able to make games for Nintendo's consoles again!
