Chrono Trigger DS travels to 2009 News
DS News by Robert Purchese
Europe will have to wait until "early 2009" for Chrono Trigger DS, Square Enix has told Eurogamer, but will be only "a few weeks" behind the US "holiday" launch.
Originally and fondly remembered as a SNES role-playing title - albeit not one released in PAL land - Chrono Trigger follows Crono and friends on a time-travelling adventure to change the present and events still to come. Sort of like Back to the Future, but with swords and fewer proms.
The DS revamp will make use of touch-screen controls, two screens, feature a new dungeon, and include some sort of wireless play.
"It gives me great pleasure to see Chrono Trigger being released in Europe and the PAL territories," said John Yamamoto, boss of Square Enix, who must himself be in the future if he's seen it released in Europe.
Graphically little appears to have changed, as you can see in our Chrono Trigger DS gallery. No bad thing, as Akira Toriyama's character designs were great the first time around.

This delay really doesn't make sense. Allthough I really couldn't care less since I can easily import this, having it earlier, cheaper, and the better box (I don't like the bulky EU ones)

Maybe I am retarded but stuff like this has been going on for decades now. Surely they should have figured out how to streamline releases for PAL. I know its lots of different territories and languages but they have had plenty of time to try and iron this crap out.
Maybe if the employees at Square were not to busy fapping to tentacle rape and underage girl anime they might be able to hire some more translators. |

@General Zod's second paragraph - what the?!?
I fail to see what the fuss is about here, a couple weeks from the US release, which I suspect will be out late November around - whats it called, you know that Thanksgiving lark - anyways, releasing games, heck anything in December is rather foolhardy so keeping it until the new year seems sensible. Looking forward to finally playing this, just a shame Square didn't announce a Cross port for PSP (not that I'd mind it being on DS, but think it would suit the PSP widescreenbetter) along with its most recent announcements. |
