I was on planetgamecube and found an announcement stating that Final Fantasy III is being released on the Nintendo DS. The link to planetgamecube:

a japanese nintendo site.
Or quoted here is what is stated on that website

Remember that poll Square Enix ran in Japan?
Along with Nintendo's own hefty game announcements, Nintendo's presentation confirmed what was previously speculated: Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy III to Nintendo DS.
Many of Square's classic RPGs have been remade over the years, but a reworked version of Final Fantasy III has never graced American stores. No Japanese launch timeframe was disclosed, nor were any plans of an international release.
