This follows on from Square Enix's announcement last week that it would be bringing the Final Fantasy VII / VIII Remastered Twin Pack to Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand on 4th December.

The Twin Pack was also originally exclusive to Asia, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the physical version of Final Fantasy IX was eventually localised for these other regions as well. To learn more about FFIX on the Switch, read our review.
